Starup Hytteby is located between Starup-Tofterup and Holme Å in nature of great scenic beauty. The Hytteby (cottage village) was established in 1990 when some passionate people got the idea to create a cottage village, and today this has developed into an extremely well-functioning and attractive area. In the cottage village they have a house (80 m2) in common, built in 2008, with free internet access, a fish cleaning place and a shared freezer (60-99 l) for the storing of the fish.

Holme Å is very popular with anglers because of the many possibilities to go fishing, but you may also go canoeing on the stream. In the area there is also a wood and a field with sheep, and if you would care for a swim, you can go to Kvie Sø (approx. 13 km).

The cottage village is centrally located and as such a perfect starting point for many tourist attractions in the southern and central part of Jutland. Legoland, Givskud Zoo and one of the biggest cities in Denmark, Esbjerg, are only a 30 minute drive away. In Esbjerg you will find an art museum, a concert hall and fine shopping possibilities. Ribe with its beautiful cathedral and the Viking centre is not far away from the cottage village (a 45 minute drive).

Central Jutland is a place for connoisseurs – far from the sea and beach, but even though dominated by the water. In the middle of the peninsula the beautiful Silkeborg lakes delight everybody. From the Himmelbjerg (“Sky Mountain”) with its 147 metres you have a 360 degree view from the tower. On all the lakes and canals you see the canoes gliding by, and the happy fishing enthusiasts are thrilled to go fishing for fresh water fish in the Put and Take lakes.

This area may be far away from the sea and beach, but here you have lots of other ways to enjoy the water of the many canals, fiords and lake spread over the area. Enjoy the wonderful view when going on a trip on the paddle steamer on the Silkeborg Lakes or when taking the children to the Put and Take lakes for fishing.

If you choose to go on holiday in Central Jutland, do not miss Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark. In this interesting city you will find many different cultural activities, shopping possibilities and exciting places to visit. You must also visit ARoS, a most interesting museum, and the world famous Aarhus Gamle By (Old Town of Aarhus).
