The best family-friendly hikes and walks in Overdrevsskov

Imposing terrain with the monastery church. More information: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sor%C3%B8_Kloster?wprov=sfla1

Nice little marketplace, beautiful houses and some restaurants or cafés.

Small boat, beautiful lake, road with cycle path.

Beautiful old church with a lovely, large, and well-kept churchyard/cemetery. Unfortunately, I was out with my dog and couldn't get inside to take more photos. But you're supposed to get a nice view from up there.

Here, below the Kongebroen, is the inflow from Sorø Lake into Pedersborg Lake. A perfect spot to give your kids and four-legged friends a break and a little refreshment. Upper on the road, there's an information board about the old bridge.

Beautiful, large lawn with a swimming area. There are two seating areas and a bench if you don't want to lie on the grass. There's also a trash can, and even though there was a graduation party here yesterday, it looks exemplary and well-maintained. The water is very easy and shallow to enter, making it a great spot for cooling off even for non-swimmers. It gets deeper after 2-3 meters, so keep an eye on children at all times.
