Beautiful Rind Church was built in the 12th century and consisted only of the Romanesque ship and the choir. The tower and porch are from the Gothic period. Rind Church was rebuilt in 1898.

A small wooden bridge connects the two banks of the Fjederhold Å, which winds idyllically and naturally through the landscape.

The lake is actually on private land, but public access is allowed. You can park, relax and swim on the southeast side of Skærbæk Sø, where you can find a bathing jetty. The northwest side of the lake is reserved for the school.

An interesting roadside exhibition of farming and construction equipment. Worth stopping to explore between the lakes.

The Carl-Henning Pedersen and Else Afelts Museum is a fantastic work of art. The museum is surrounded by a sculpture park and in an inner courtyard with a lawn and seating, a sound installation can be heard and the walls are decorated with ceramic tiles, as is the museum pyramid. The museum also includes the rooms of a former textile factory, whose founder believed in art and education and wanted to impart both to his workers. You should definitely let one of the volunteers in the museum tell you the story.
