Celebration in the woods

Confirmation

Congratulations on the upcoming confirmation – and a very warm welcome to Herthadalen. Whether you're planning a classic confirmation or a more informal celebration, we imagine the wish is the same: a day where you can lean back, be present in the moment, and celebrate the confirmand with family and friends close to you.

The natural surroundings create a relaxed setting, providing space for both solemnity and convivial gatherings. A confirmation is a big day – not just for the confirmand, but for the whole family – and here, there's plenty of room and peace to be together. With us, you're involved every step of the way. From the initial viewing and planning to the day itself, where we'll take care of the arrangements so you can lean back and enjoy the celebration. 

We recommend contacting us well in advance if you wish to have a viewing or book a room. April and May are the most in-demand months of the year for confirmations, and therefore our rooms are often booked up far in advance.

Confirmation in GREEN SURROUNDINGS

Hold the confirmation ceremony in the middle of the forest and let nature be a natural partner on the day. In the forest, the surroundings set a slower pace and create the framework for a more relaxed and cosy celebration, with space for togetherness, laughter, and movement. Here, the sky is the limit, there is peace around you and an opportunity to let the party unfold at the pace of the day.

Feel free to bring lawn games or pétanque balls from home and let your guests gather for play and informal socialising in the green surroundings. For the youngest members of the family – and those young at heart – we also have our large swing with a view over Knapsø, which often becomes a natural meeting point during the day.

Another successful party

“This is now the third event we have held at Herthadalen, and my daughter’s confirmation in the Skovtelt was a huge success thanks to the fantastically beautiful surroundings, skilled chefs, and the extremely attentive and service-minded staff.

Now the youngest daughter has had both her christening and confirmation at Herthadalen – so we'll have to see if a wedding happens there too someday 😉” / Rikke Marie Søegaard, 6 April 2025

Fantastic confirmation party/

“Dear Mikkel and all other staff at Herthadalen. Thank you so much for an absolutely fantastic confirmation party for our daughter Laura at your venue on Sunday. Everything went perfectly, and the food tasted truly delicious – and the wines were a perfect match.

Our guests have also all said the same, and that the surroundings were so beautiful – and that was exactly what we hoped they would agree with us on. We will be back soon. Kind regards, Cristina and family” / Cristina Angela Gulisano, 8 May 2025

Perfect RAM MER/

“Thank you for a truly fantastic event for our son's confirmation. Everything ran like clockwork. The food was exquisite and lived up to our son's wishes.

The atmosphere in the Fireplace Room was just right, and the staff incredibly flexible when we had to adjust the serving times. Also, when a joint break spontaneously arose after the main course, where everyone had to go out onto the terrace to be amidst the green forest, as the surroundings are also overwhelming and beautiful. An entirely splendid arrangement, where our guests and we ourselves could very easily settle in and relax in each other's company.”/ Tina, June 2025.

Fantastic day in the forest

“We had a fantastic confirmation at Herthadalen. It was the first visit to Herthadalen for us and most of our guests, and everyone was incredibly impressed with the place, the food, and the beautiful surroundings. The weather was also on our side, so we were able to use the terrace.".

A HUGE thank you to the fantastic staff. This has also been commented on by many of our guests afterwards. Despite the busyness and many events that day, it couldn't be felt and the food was adapted to the elements of the day.” / May 2025.

Herthadalen Organic Mark

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.
