Holme Olstrup: Amusement Park, Railway and Local History

When planning a stay in Holme Olstrup, there are several different points of reference: BonBon-Land is associated with the town, the train station has connections towards Copenhagen and Næstved, and the town’s history includes a former Christmas-themed identity. These topics answer different questions. BonBon-Land is about rides, the station helps you plan a rail journey, and the Christmas story adds a historical aspect to your view of the town. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first decide which of these connections is most relevant to the purpose of your trip.

BonBon-Land and rides

BonBon-Land offers rides for children of all ages. Bæver Rafting is a family ride at the park. The first statement describes the range of what is on offer, while the second gives one specific example. For families, this is a clear distinction: you get both a general indication of the age groups catered for and the name of a particular ride. If you are travelling with children, you can include the park in your plans and consider Bæver Rafting as a named attraction.

BonBon-Land sells its confectionery exclusively inside the park. If you want to buy these products, plan to do so as part of your park visit.

Rail connections towards Copenhagen and Næstved

Holme Olstrup has its own train station, with connections towards Copenhagen and Næstved. These two directions give you an initial point of reference when planning to travel by train. Check the timetable for your travel date and take the relevant connection into account when deciding on the town. This gives you a concrete rail connection to consider when planning your trip, in addition to the park as an excursion destination. If your trip includes several destinations, include the two directions mentioned when comparing your planned rail route.

“Julemandens by” as part of the town’s history

One distinctive historical connection to the town is the name “Julemandens by”. In the years following the Christmas series, local residents promoted Holme Olstrup under this name, with elf sculptures and a Christmas shop. “Julemandens by” can be translated roughly as “Santa’s town”. The combination of a distinctive name, figures and a shop shows how the town’s Christmas-themed identity was presented to the outside world at the time. This part of the town’s history adds a cultural perspective to the park and rail connections. The episode focuses not on a ride, but on the local Christmas story and the residents’ efforts.

Motorsports and model aviation

Nisseringen is a motorsports track in Holme Olstrup. There is also a model airfield in the town. Motorsports and model aviation are two distinct local interests. If you plan to visit either place, check in advance whether visits are possible.
