Local tips
- Book the restaurant in advance, especially during summer months when a fixed daily menu is offered and reservations are essential. Sunday closures are common, so plan dining accordingly.
- Rent mountain bikes on-site to fully explore the extensive trail network through Rebild Bakker National Park and surrounding Rold Forest—the landscape is best experienced on two wheels.
- Visit during the Fourth of July festival (July 4th) for the largest Independence Day celebration outside the United States, featuring speeches, entertainment, and thousands of visitors celebrating the park's unique Danish-American heritage.
- Request pet accommodation in advance if traveling with animals, as this requires prior confirmation with the hotel and is not automatically available.
- Arrive early to secure parking and explore the immediate surroundings before sunset; the countryside views from the hotel grounds are particularly striking during golden hour.

A Resort in Denmark's Most Distinctive Landscape
Comwell Rebild Bakker stands at the heart of one of Denmark's most remarkable natural settings. The hotel occupies prime position within Rebild Bakker National Park, a 400-hectare expanse of heather-covered hills and rolling terrain that attracts approximately 400,000 visitors annually. The surrounding landscape is part of the broader Rold Forest region, Denmark's second-largest forested area, creating an environment where nature dominates the experience. From your room's private balcony or terrace, you'll overlook countryside that has remained largely unchanged for over a century, with sheep wandering freely across the hillsides—a pastoral scene that defines the area's character.Historic Significance and American Connection
The land beneath your feet carries unexpected historical weight. In 1911, a group of Danish-Americans led by biochemist Max Henius purchased this area and gifted it to the Danish state with three enduring conditions: that it remain in its natural state, stay open to the public, and serve as a venue for Danish-American celebrations. Since 1912, the park has hosted an annual Independence Day festival—the largest Fourth of July celebration outside the United States. The park features a full-size reproduction of Abraham Lincoln's log cabin and a totem pole, tangible reminders of this unique transatlantic heritage. This historical context transforms a simple nature visit into an encounter with cultural memory.Comprehensive Wellness and Recreation Facilities
The hotel functions as a complete wellness destination. An indoor swimming pool maintains comfortable temperatures year-round, while the sauna and steam room provide traditional Nordic relaxation. A two-floor fitness center caters to serious exercisers, and mountain bikes are available for rent to explore the surrounding trails. Tennis courts and beach volleyball facilities serve those seeking active recreation. The property includes 11 conference rooms and two auditoriums, making it equally suited to corporate retreats and family gatherings. A spacious restaurant and bar feature billiards, table football, and table tennis, ensuring entertainment options regardless of weather.Accommodation and Dining Experience
All 151 rooms feature private balconies or terraces overlooking the countryside, with modern amenities including flat-screen televisions, desks, safes, and complimentary WiFi. The on-site restaurant presents a seasonal menu focused on traditional Danish dishes, with reservations recommended during peak periods. A continental buffet breakfast is included, widely praised for its quality and variety. The hotel bar provides an ideal setting for evening relaxation. During summer months (24 June to 13 August), the restaurant operates a daily fixed menu, reflecting the seasonal nature of the location.Gateway to Regional Attractions
The hotel's location provides convenient access to multiple points of interest. Rebild Bakker National Park itself, with its extensive hiking trail network, lies just 600 meters away. The Thingbæk Chalk Mines and Rebild Center are approximately 1.8 kilometers distant, offering geological and cultural insights. The Cold War Museum (Koldkrigsmuseet Regan Vest) and Lincoln Log Cabin Museum are within easy reach. Skørping railway station connects to the Randers–Aalborg line, and Aalborg city center lies 20 minutes' drive away, making urban exploration accessible without sacrificing the resort's rural tranquility.Sustainable Practices and Accessibility
The property demonstrates environmental commitment through LED lighting, recycling programs, and eco-friendly toiletries. Facilities for disabled guests include wheelchair-accessible parking, elevators, and accessible rooms. Free parking is available throughout the property, and electric vehicle charging stations accommodate modern transportation needs. The hotel's integration into the protected landscape reflects broader sustainability principles, with hiking and mountain biking trails encouraging low-impact exploration of the surrounding nature reserve.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
