Museum

In the attic rooms of the historic stately home of Valdemars Slot the Børge Hinsch Foundation has assembled Northern Europe’s largest museum exhibition of hunting trophies from around the world, with around 230 different species of big game being represented. The vast majority of these trophies are owned by the Børge Hinsch Foundation, while a small proportion are owned jointly by the Børge Hinsch Foundation and the Nordic Safari Club.

Nature School

Since 2006 the Børge Hinsch Foundation has provided free access to its nature school to all members of the public with an interest in nature. The school is managed on a day to day basis by the head ranger Claus L. Olesen. The nature school offers a wide range of exciting activities, challenges and other events for everyone interested in nature and all its wonders.
