Sunday feast
“There’s to be a feast in the forest…” – That is how the lovely festive song goes – and even though neither deer nor owls have been invited to the table, we actually still think there is some truth in it.
On selected Sundays this autumn, we therefore invite you to a cosy lunch in the middle of the forest. On a half-metre-high tiered stand, the kitchen brings together the season's produce from local suppliers in 9 elements. Perfect for sharing, tasting and socialising around.
Slow down the pace and enjoy a stroll around Knapsø before or after. After all, Sundays in the woods are allowed to take a little longer.
NB! Remember to book a table as we have limited spaces.

Psst… are there any allergens we need to take into account? We are more than happy to accommodate gluten for the tiered stand service. However, we unfortunately cannot offer a lactose-free, vegetarian or vegan version of the tiered stand (a separate meal salad can be ordered instead).
But please help us in advance by reporting it when booking. THANKS

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.
