✅ Visitor Info: Accessibility
Access: The paths at BaneGaarden are covered with shredded wood chips, creating a natural, soft surface. While this adds to the green, rustic atmosphere, it can be challenging for wheelchairs, walkers, or people with limited mobility. There is toilet for people with disabilities as well as a changing table.
Rest Areas: BaneGaarden offers quiet, green areas like the wild garden and greenhouse, ideal for a peaceful break away from the busier parts. There are benches and seating areas throughout the grounds.
Crowds: The site can be busy during events and weekends; for a quieter visit, try weekdays or off-peak hours.
The nine old wooden barns were built in 1909 by DSB to store wood and building materials. Since 1950, the barns have been deserted and nature has been allowed to grow wild and lush. Fortunately DSB chose to preserve the barns. Nowadays, they have been restored and BaneGaarden, a green oasis and a peaceful breathing space in the middle of the city has been established. BaneGaarden is a gastronomic hub focusing on ecology and sustainability. They run a restaurant, a bakery, food stalls, school courses, flea markets and much more.
