Picnic spots in Kolding
Go on a picnic out in the beautiful scenery.
In Kolding there are many lovely places, where you can settle down and enjoy the scenery and have a picnic, even when the weather is not suitable for picnics under the open sky.
Harteværket
At the parking lot at Harteværket you will find a packed house that is freely accessible to everyone and therefore does not require you to be a paying visitor at Harteværket. The house is comfortably furnished with fireplace for those cool days, which you are always welcome to light. In addition, there are toilets in the house.
The house is open from 1st May from 7.30-21.30 (7.30am-9.30pm), the rest of the year it closes at 17 (5pm).
The house cannot be reserved.
In this paradise for children there are many opportunities if you get hungry. In the park there are tables and benches where you can enjoy your food. If the weather does not invite to picnics under the open sky, you can go inside one of the three picnic houses, with a capacity of maximum of 49 people in each house. The houses cannot be reserved as the park is public and there must be equal access to the facilities.
The park also has four large gas grills, which are free to use and can be turned on if you contact the staff.
If you forgot the lunch pack at home, you can buy food and drink at the kiosk in the playground.
