Wellness Getaway with Spa, Sauna & Gourmet Dining in Denmark

Mornings here are slow. You wake up at the inn, go down to a buffet breakfast — bread, cold cuts, cheese, eggs, coffee — and then decide whether you're walking, sitting in a sauna, or doing nothing at all. The two-night Krominoen packages are the active ones: you're out the door by 9:30 with a packed lunch, fruit and a towel, following a marked route of about 20–21 km between Kongensbro and Bjerringbro or Silkeborg with a sauna therapy ticket waiting for you. The terrain is flat Danish countryside and fjord, doable at a steady pace without any special kit.

The accommodation side is straightforward and comfortable. Rooms are at the inn itself, with a welcome on arrival, a map and the practical bits sorted before you head out. Each night ends the same way: aperitif, then a three-course dinner off a set menu, then your own room. The next morning repeats with breakfast before you check out at 9:30 and either start the second leg of the hike or head home.

What separates this from a generic spa break is that the spa access is genuinely included and the walking is real. Kurbadet Limfjorden is 250 metres from the hotel in the Wellness stay option, while the Krominoen packages use either Sydthy Wellness or Limfjorden Wellness and add sauna therapy. You're not paying extra per entry or queuing for a day pass.

Staff at the inn handle the practical arrangements — you're asked to contact the hotel before arrival to book the spa and restaurant slots, which is worth doing the moment you confirm your dates. The kitchen works to a set chef's-choice menu rather than à la carte, so if you have dietary requirements, mention them at booking.

The setting is rural Denmark, close to the Limfjord, with quiet roads and open views for the walking days. It's the kind of place where the loudest thing you'll hear is weather. Both Kongensbro and Bjerringbro are small towns, so you're not coming here for nightlife — you're coming for the sauna, the food, and the walk.
