Stakroge: The Activities House, bathing spot and former routes

Stakroge can be explored through the Aktivitetshuset, Stakroge Badesø and former pop-up hiking routes. The present-day Activities House is located in the town’s former school; the Badesø is a bathing spot. The former routes differ in length and landscape. When choosing a destination, local history, a bathing spot and route options therefore represent distinct interests.

The Activities House and local history

The former school now serves as the Aktivitetshuset, the town’s Activities House. It was built by the Sdr. Omme parish council and opened in 1948. Two periods of use meet in this building: its former use as a school, with a specific opening year, and its present-day role as an Activities House. For those who also consider local history when planning a stay, it offers a specific point of interest.

A trail leads from Filskov to the road towards Sandet and passes the Activities House. It may be used on horseback. This provides a distinct route reference: the trail can be identified by its course from Filskov to the road and its passage by the Activities House. Permission to use it on horseback is also a practical detail about this route.

Bathing spot and facilities

Stakroge Badesø is a bathing spot. If you consider swimming opportunities when choosing a destination, it is the local point of reference. The Badesø thus complements the Activities House with a different focus: here, the bathing spot takes centre stage, while information about the Activities House concerns the building and its facilities.

There are four freely accessible shelters on the grounds of the Aktivitetshuset in Stakroge. The grounds also include a playground with various pieces of equipment. This gives a concrete picture of the local facilities: the number and free access refer to the shelters, while the playground is described by its variety of equipment.

The shelter site is about a 100-metre walk from the school, the Aktivitetshuset; there is a toilet there. This approximate walking distance links the shelter site with the former school building, which now serves as the Activities House.

Former pop-up hiking routes

The former pop-up hiking routes offer two distinct route profiles. One former route, 3.66 kilometres long, ran around the church and through a wooded area. Another former route was 4.21 kilometres long and crossed the moor, passing the fishponds. The shorter route can therefore be distinguished by its church and woodland, and the longer one by its moor and fishponds. Both are former pop-up hiking routes.

These features can be weighed differently when choosing a destination: the Badesø offers a bathing spot, the Aktivitetshuset is a former school building with facilities, and the two former routes differ in length and landscape. This can help you decide which of these local features matter most for your stay in Stakroge.
