At the end of Northern Europe's longest avenue, in the historic landscape surrounding Ledreborg Manor, lies Herthadalen – beautifully hidden in the forest, in the heart of Skjoldungernes Land National Park.
A thatched cottage with soul, where people have met since 1788 to share stories and moments. From folk festivals and constitutional meetings in Grundtvig's time – to weddings, anniversaries, confirmations, and large corporate parties in more recent times.
Herthadalen has a total of 6 different function rooms with space for 10 to 130 guests – and as an event partner at Ledreborg Castle, we also run Slotsladen, a historic venue with space up to 400 guests.
30 min from Copenhagen / 20 min from Holbæk / 10 min from Roskilde.

Seasonal produce
At Herthadalen's forest kitchen, we work based on the concept People and Meals, where local produce, quality, and organic are at the heart of it.
Our menus are inspired by the season – with greens from Herthamarken, herbs from the forest, and meat from animals that have had a good life. For us, animal welfare and taste are inextricably linked.
A place with attitude
At Herthadalen, we make conscious choices – especially when it comes to what we serve our guests. For example, we use locally tapped tap water instead of expensive imported bottled water.
For us, sustainability isn't about symbolism, but about everyday action. Small choices that make sense and, all together, make a difference. We strive to be a place where responsibility, quality, and thoughtfulness go hand in hand – naturally & without pointing fingers.
GOOD CRAFTSMANSHIP
We greatly cherish good craftsmanship. In the kitchen, we pickle, bake, smoke, and ferment ourselves. We make our food from scratch with respect for the ingredients and the work behind them.
We believe that good craftsmanship can be tasted – and that it makes a difference when someone has had their hands in it all the way through.
LOCAL PRODUCERS
You can taste it when ingredients are cultivated by enthusiasts – passionate people who obsess over every detail because they simply can't help themselves.
These are the types of collaborations we engage with on a daily basis. Common to them is an uncompromising approach to quality and great respect for both the raw materials, the animals and nature.
Personal hosting
At Herthadalen, we put people first. Our guests' experiences are our greatest focus, and we are passionate about creating a place that allows for presence, peace, and connection to the earth.
The aim is to create a place where people and meals meet in community – and to provide the setting for life’s great celebrations: from the small moments of everyday life to life’s major events.
Nordic Aesthetics
At our place, food isn't just about taste – it also needs to look good. We care about aesthetics and are inspired by Nordic simplicity.
The colours are kept natural, the expression is clean, and we only use what makes sense for the dish. We source flowers and herbs as much as possible from our own herb garden or from the forest around us.
UNIQUE LOCATIONS
At Herthadalen & Ledreborg, we have a range of unique venues at our disposal. Some venues invite calm and contemplation, others grand moments and shared celebrations.
Common to them all is the location in the midst of forest and tranquility, the sense of presence, the aesthetics, and the feeling of being in a place where time may as well take its time.
