Rønnede: Kobanke, archaeology and local traditions

Rønnede offers several concrete points of interest to help plan your trip: the Kobanke viewpoint, archaeological traces at EcoPark, an annual festival, golf and classic Danish cuisine. If you are looking for a hotel, the focus of your trip can help you decide where to stay: scenery, history, an event date or golf.

Kobanke and views across South Zealand

At 123 metres, Kobanke is the highest point on Zealand. It has a viewpoint overlooking large parts of South Zealand. The elevation puts Kobanke in context within Zealand, while the viewpoint looks out over the southern region. If you want to include scenery and wide-open views in your choice of destination, Kobanke is a clear landmark for a stay in Rønnede.

Archaeological traces at EcoPark

A village dating from the Late Roman Iron Age was excavated at EcoPark in Rønnede. It was founded between 150 and 220 AD. An ancient stone road was associated with the village. In 2013, it was selected as one of Denmark’s ten most important archaeological finds. The two discoveries highlight different aspects: the village focuses on its date and settlement, while the road stands out for its stone construction and archaeological recognition. If you are interested in history, Rønnede brings together a dated settlement and an independently recognised road find.

Festival, cuisine and golf

The annual Kulsvier Festival in Rønnede features Kulsvier pancakes. If the festival is the reason for your trip, plan around the event dates and check them in advance. Another culinary attraction is Rønnede Kro, which serves classic Danish cuisine in a historic setting. This gives you a choice between attending a festival featuring a named speciality and enjoying a meal in a historic setting.

Rønnede Golf Club has a large 18-hole course with a par of 71. The number of holes and the par provide golfers with specific information to help them assess Rønnede as a possible destination for a golf-focused stay. This gives the town a sporting attraction alongside its scenic and archaeological features, without making any further claims about the course.
