Super place to spend the night on EuroVelo 3. If you want to pitch your tent, you can, otherwise there is a large dormitory. It's really great.

"Brændegård" was originally a three-story building that belonged to "Mariegaard". The estate's carriages and horses were housed here, and the coachmen and employees lived here. There was a fire station here around 1900 - perhaps hence the name? The dyer Frederik Hansen started his dyeing business here before setting up a dye factory by the river at Jels Søndergade 10-12 in 1912.

The Orion Planetarium was a planetarium in the city of Jels. The planetarium opened in 1993 but was forced to close at the end of 2016 when one of the owners, Aarhus University, withdrew operating support. Here at the planetarium you can also find the sun of the Jels Nature and Planetary Path.
