Hiking in Jensen & Sørensen’s Plantation
Monday, August 12 at 19.00-21.00.
Meeting point: Meeting point: “Æ Tørhus”, Hvidemosevej 10, Gl. Rønbjerg, 7800 Skive
True to tradition, a hike in Jensen & Sørensen’s Plantation will be held again this year. Christian Vad Holm (a “Jensen”) and Mads Bylov Tanderup (a “Sørensen”) as well as city archivist Kristian Buhl Thomsen will talk about the nature and history of the area.
The tour starts at “Æ Tørhus” on Hvidemosevej 10. Along the way, the three tour guides will tell you about the peat industry in the area and how the area was converted to nature and forestry when peat production ceased after World War II.
Jensen & Sørensen’s Plantation covers an area of approximately 260 hectares. It was previously home to one of the largest peat factories in the area, Rønbjerg Tørvefabrik from 1899. After 2. World War II, peat production ceased. The suitable peat mass was running out – and customers preferred heating from oil-fired boilers or district heating. And what do you do with 260 hectares of moors and bogs? The Jensen and Sørensen families decided to switch to forestry and plant the area with conifers and deciduous trees. This has completely changed the character of the area, so that today you can walk along beautiful forest roads.
At the end of the tour, “Æ Tørhus” will be open, where it will be possible to buy refreshments.
The tour is organized by Jensen & Sørensens Plantage ApS and Skive Byarkiv and is approximately 2.8 kilometers long.
It is free to participate and all interested parties are welcome.
