Meeting in the woods
Meetings & Conferences
Hold meetings and conferences in surroundings that provide space for professionalism, reflection, and new perspectives. In the middle of the forest, we at Herthadalen & Ledreborg create the framework for meetings where the pace is slowed and a sense of calm is allowed to take over. Nature is close by here – not as decoration, but as an active participant in a more concentrated and present working day.
We are planning a calm and well-organised meeting process, where the practicalities are in place from the beginning. The catering will follow the day and the season, and will be served continuously, so that energy levels are kept stable, and the focus can remain on the professional content.
Many find that the shift away from the familiar office environment offers something extra. The high ceilings, the silence, and the green surroundings contribute to a more relaxed atmosphere, where conversations flow more easily and new ideas find space. A meeting in the woods allows for thinking differently – and often more clearly.
Unique meeting rooms in the middle of the national park
At Herthadalen & Ledreborg, we offer meeting rooms that are a departure from the classic conference room. Situated amidst the National Park's landscape, the surroundings create a setting where focus and conversation are better facilitated. Here, there is ample space – both physically and mentally – for strategic discussions.
Our various meeting rooms are furnished according to your needs and the purpose of the day. When the weather permits, the surroundings offer the opportunity to take the meeting outdoors – with short walks, breaks in the fresh air, or informal conversations outside the room.
Would you like to supplement the meeting day with more active elements? We collaborate with a range of selected partners who have extensive experience in team building. The activities will be tailored to your purpose, participant group, and daily schedule.

Seasonal Kitchen
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.
Meeting point 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.
SPACE FOR PROFESSIONALISM
Herthadalen and Ledreborg are located in the middle of Skjoldungernes Land National Park. The nature creates a natural transition away from everyday life and into an environment of peace, focus, and fewer distractions – ideal for strategy meetings, leadership gatherings, and relational events.
Professional framework
From the intimate meeting rooms at Herthadalen to Ledreborg's magnificent Castle Barn & Castle Square with great volume and flexible layouts. Rooms with character and history – combined with modern facilities and practical solutions that make planning simple and execution reassuring.
UNIQUE MEETING ROOMS
Historic meeting rooms in the heart of the National Park. Here, the air doesn't smell of whiteboards and markers, but of trees and soil. In the forest, there are no noisy cars – only the sound of the wind in the treetops and birdsong. Nature isn't just close by – it's part of the experience.
Scalable Company Events
We handle both small meetings and large corporate events. Rooms, flow, and setup can be tailored to participant numbers, agenda, and ambition level – from 20 participants to several thousand – without compromising on atmosphere or quality.

Company events at Ledreborg
Ledreborg offers a unique scalable capacity, creating a multitude of possibilities. At Ledreborg, events can unfold in both intimate and grand formats – depending on needs, content, and ambition.
The arcade forms a beautiful setting for seated banquets and larger gatherings with up to 400 guests. Slotspladsen opens up for conferences and corporate events in a marquee, where the history and architecture become an active part of the experience. And throughout the castle grounds, there are opportunities to hold larger trade fairs and outdoor events with a capacity of +10,000 guests daily.
Ledreborg is a unique event setting, and ideal for those who want a different backdrop for their next special event.

TEAMBUILDING & OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
We have compiled a range of recommended activities that fit naturally within the settings of both Herthadalen and Ledreborg. Experiences rooted in nature and shared presence – from a foraging walk with Unik Gindestillering, focusing on the scents and tastes of the forest, to breathwork and ice baths that provide a clear mental and physical shift in the meeting day.
For those who wish for more active elements, there is the option of, for example, clay pigeon shooting or archery. The activities can be included as a calm break, a communal gathering point, or a standalone element that creates movement and shared experiences.
All activities are agreed and coordinated directly between you and the individual partner, so that content, format and execution can be adapted to your needs, the participant list and the day's programme.
