A Culinary Celebration in Odsherred – Small Seeds with Great Significance
MICHELIN 2025 – Smal seeds with grat significance
When we look back on what the Tour de France brought to Odsherred, it may not always be something we can measure directly in numbers. But at Odsherred Cykeludlejning, we see how this world event has planted small seeds that are still sprouting and growing. It is precisely these experiences that, slowly but surely, are creating lasting value for our region and for Geopark Odsherred, which is known for its unique nature and cultural heritage
The First Meeting
This year, we’ve seen how some of these seeds have already taken root. Several of our rental customers have told us that they first discovered Odsherred and the Geopark when the Tour de France whizzed through the landscape. It was their first encounter with the area, and since then, they have chosen to return to experience all that Odsherred and the Geopark have to offer.
Looking ahead to the Nordic MICHELIN awards in Anneberg Cultural Park in 2025, Odsherred gets another opportunity to shine on the international stage. Just as the Tour de France focused attention on our landscape, the MICHELIN event could be the next big seed to sprout, giving our region even more attention. For us, it's a huge recognition of the passionate individuals and businesses that, through generations of craftsmanship, bring out Odsherred’s unique ingredients and culture. Not least, Gitte Klausen's incredible work in Anneberg Park, which has now become a cultural gathering place where both locals and visitors can enjoy art, culture, and gastronomy in beautiful surroundings near the boundaries of the Geopark.
Odsherred and Geopark as Hosts for MICHELIN – A New Opportunity to Be Discovered
The MICHELIN event at Anneberg Park will attract food lovers and media from across Scandinavia and the world. While the immediate economic impact may not be measurable in large figures, we’ve seen how visibility on the global stage creates attention that gradually spreads. The visitors we meet here will take small glimpses of Odsherred and the Geopark with them – perhaps in the form of an unforgettable culinary experience or a special place they discovered during a bike ride through the beautiful landscapes of the Geopark.
We saw this already in October when culinary students from the Hotel and Restaurant School visited Anneberg Park. At the start of their "study trip," the students were disappointed that they wouldn’t be going abroad, but they were quickly surprised by the experiences they were allowed to try in Odsherred and the Geopark. Under Gitte Klausen’s dedicated leadership, Anneberg Park has become a cultural hub where history, flavor experiences, and natural beauty come together, leaving lasting impressions. The students were able to dive into the area’s unique ingredients and experience the nature of Odsherred and the Geopark from new perspectives – which made a strong impact.
Explore Odsherred and the Geopark by Bike – The Perfect Way to Discover Our Landscape
At Odsherred Cykeludlejning, we look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests. Exploring Odsherred and the Geopark by bike is the perfect way to get close to the small details and breathtaking views that make our region so unique. From the charming villages of Rørvig, Højby, Vig, and Nykøbing Sjælland, to the scenic cycling routes along the coast and picturesque harbors – there is so much to discover on two wheels.
For us, it’s not the big numbers we measure ourselves by, but the experiences we create. It’s the lasting memories people take home with them – and that bring them back to Odsherred and the Geopark year after year. So maybe it’s not only MICHELIN and the Tour de France that bring about big changes, but also the small things we do together as a community that truly make a difference.
We look forward with great anticipation to June 2025 when the MICHELIN awards will once again put Odsherred and the Geopark’s stunning natural beauty on the world map.
