Activites and local attractions
Are you intested in experiencing local activites and attractions during your stay?
The ducks of Dalen Hotel
Every year Dalen Hotel adopts a flock of ducks from Holte Farm.
They live in the duck residence in our majestic garden and they walk freely around the propery during daytime. The ducks are a popular attraction as they can be observed galavanting around the gardens or enjoying their private lake.
The ducks arrive shortly after the season premiere and when autumn comes they move to a local farm where they continue their duck life. The species is a peking duck (Latin: Anas platyrhynchos domestica) which is a non-flying species like the penguin or ostriches
We remind all guests that leashes for dogs are mandatory on the hotel grounds to safeguard our ducks
