This project takes point
of departure in the town
of Langå - developing
a nature destination
attractive for tourists as
well as locals.
When the municipal reform came in
to effect in 2007, Langå lost its
status as municipality capital to
the larger city Randers.
Therefore Langå now have to fi nd
its stands in this new context.
Since one of Langås main
attractions is its nature and
its close proximity to Gudenåen;
already very popular with
wildlife tourists and anglers,
who use it for e.g. canoeing and
fl y-fi shing, this project will
investigate how this potential
can be transformed in to a
destination attractive for both
locals and tourists.
A Nature Park with an Experience
Centre will draw on tourist
sectors already established in
Langå and around the river.
It will further fall in line with
a new form of tourism gaining
ground, where the experience and
adventure elements are becoming
more important than the physical
elements of accommodation and
transport.
With Langås train station and
its location close to the
regions two main cities Århus
and Randers, the park gains the
further advantage of being able
to supply its visitors with
easy and sustainable public
transport, from the cities almost
straight to the park. This is
something pretty unique for a
nature tourist destination in
the countryside - encouraging
visitors to consider the nature
of their destination, even before
they get to the park.
