Farum Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Farum

Farum still resembles a 19th-century village, with countryside nearby featuring ancient monuments and the art of Piet Hein.

This charming town set in northern Zealand has historic secrets and exciting stories to tell about the Denmark of old, including the old town of det gamle Farum. Walk on the Oldtidsstier around the lake of Farum Sø for a charming excursion. A visit to Farum wouldn’t be complete without a stroll through the old buildings of Farum Bytorv with its wide selection of shops, cafés and restaurants.

The town’s name comes from the old Norse ‘Farum’, which means ‘the place near the passage’, describing the point where natural obstacles had to be passed – namely two large lakes (Farum Sø and Furesø) and the River Mølleåen that links them. The location and surrounding countryside with its historical attractions have ensured Farum’s place in Demark’s history.

A holiday in Farum offers a wide range of activities and places to visit, including Farum Sø, nestling in a valley carved out by the Ice Age, where river traffic has flowed over the Mølleåen since the Stone Age. Cycle or walk around Farum Sø, and follow the Oldtidsstien footpath to seek out ancient monuments in the form of stone cairns, burial mounds and a sunken road. The area’s history is also presented in the Furesø Museer.

The town also offers lots to see and do in its centre, including the large, bustling Farum Kulturhus, home to various activities and events such as exhibitions, music and theatre for all ages. Right alongside is the Kumbelhaven park featuring Piet Hein bronze sculptures and other artistic works. Round off the day at one of the excellent restaurants on Farum Bytorv.

Seasoned golf enthusiasts and curious beginners alike will love a weekend spent in Farum on ‘The Scandinavian’, a top-class golf course ranked within the Top50 Continental Europe courses. The centre of Copenhagen is just 20 minutes away by train or car.

A trip to Farum is perfect for anyone who loves being in the countryside, especially if they’re interested in history. What’s more, the town centre is full of charm and offers lots of activities.
