Mortens Evening
Mortens Aften is one of those autumn traditions that just tastes a little better in the woods. When the November darkness descends between the trees, we light the candles in the house, turn up the heat and set the tables for an evening with everything autumn has to offer.
Enjoy a peaceful evening in the middle of the forest, where the kitchen creates a menu inspired by the autumn all around us – and naturally with classic references to the traditional dinner.
Feel free to take a stroll around Knapsø before dinner. The forest has something special about it at this time of year – a bit wild, a bit quiet, and incredibly beautiful.
NB! Remember to book a table as we have limited spaces.

Experience the Forest
Autumn walk in the forest
Autumn in the forest is one of the finest things. End your visit with a leisurely stroll in the garden or around Knapsø. Follow the paths amongst the fallen leaves and let your pace slow down – autumn invites presence and contemplation.
Autumn in Herthadalen invites you to linger a little longer. Sit on a bench, enjoy the view, and let the silence and the mood of the season settle in.
On your way back, you are welcome to stop by the Farm Shop, where you will find local produce and small treats to take home.
