A retreat for dogs and their owners

If you're looking for a place where your dog can run freely and enjoy nature, the new dog park at Rugballegård, located between Horsens and Hatting, might be the perfect spot for you. Set in a scenic area where both dogs and their owners can relax and have a great experience together, the dog park offers a safe and enclosed area where your dog can roam freely. The dog park at Rugballegård features a good mix of dense forest with trails and open spaces. You can enjoy a walk among the trees or play with your four-legged friend in the grass—something other dog owners highlight as a plus of this park.

 

Facilities in the dog park

The dog park is easily accessible. If you're coming from Horsens, turn right at the traffic light near Bygholm Agricultural School, where Hattingvej becomes Ny Hattingvej. The dog park is easy to find, with parking options and a trail system that leads directly to the entrance, marked with a gate.

Inside the enclosed area, you'll find two picnic tables where you can relax while your dog enjoys the safe surroundings. The dog park is open year-round, but be aware that there are no lights installed.

 

Part of a larger project

The dog park is part of the larger Rugballegård Forest project, which promotes nature and biodiversity in the area. The trail systems make it easy to explore the beautiful landscape. Rugballegård Forest is part of Horsens’ green initiative and connects directly to Åbjerg Forest and Bygholm Lake—popular spots for walking and outdoor activities. Rugballegård Forest covers 161 hectares, and when including Bygholm Lake, there are more than 300 hectares of connected natural areas to explore, offering numerous activities to enjoy.
