Study trips
Whether you decide to become a student in the Autumn or the Spring, there will be exciting study trips available. On this page, you can get more information about the highlights of these trips. In addition to these longer journeys, there will also be a number of shorter day trips to nearby sites of interest.Florence
Florence is Renaissance palaces, priceless classical art, and the birthplace of some of the greatest literature we have, but it's also the story of heretics, cynics, and realpolitik. Here, in the city by the Arno River, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, and Machiavelli strolled among exactly the same houses and on exactly the same squares that you see today. The majority of all art in Italy is located in Florence, and the short distance from the town hall to the cathedral alone holds more masterpieces than in all of North America. Furthermore, Florence is also Italy's most beautiful and romantic city.
Rønshoved Folk High School embarks on a study trip to Florence because there we can experience the pinnacle of classical cultural education, born in the Renaissance and continuing in the Bildung tradition. Additionally, Florence has produced thoughts from a societal and political perspective that significantly influence us to this day. Not to mention, Italy is a particularly interesting country to focus on in terms of EU cooperation now and in the future.
Even the journey to Florence is quite special; we travel south by train - a relaxing and pleasant form of travel that allows us to experience a lot along the way. We board the night train in Munich and wake up in the Renaissance.
The trip takes place in February.

Spring in Paris
Paris is the city of cities, embodying a major part of Europe's history and identity. We will visit the beautifully renovated Notre-Dame Cathedral, stroll along the charming banks of the Seine, see art exhibitions, and wander past the fashion houses and sidewalk cafés on the Champs-Élysées up to the Arc de Triomphe. We will also visit the Sun King's Versailles just outside the city, where Queen Marie-Antoinette entertained herself until the French Revolution broke out in 1789. The palace plays a central role in European history: this is where the German Empire was proclaimed in 1871 and the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919. We will have a few intense days filled with culture, art, and history, but there will also be time to explore on your own - where you can see the Eiffel Tower, shop at Galeries Lafayette, visit Napoleon's tomb, or simply enjoy the city's vibrant life in parks and cafés.
Japan - between past and future
This autumn, we are offering a very special study trip: we are traveling to Japan, one of the world’s most fascinating destinations. Japan is a land of contrasts, providing ample opportunity to wonder, ask questions, and engage with the world with curiosity.
On this trip, we will experience the hyper-modern, pulsating capital of Tokyo, which in many ways still feels like a glimpse into the future. But we will also encounter the traditional, imperial Japan in the city of Kyoto. Here, both tea ceremonies and Samurai castles await us. Naturally, we will also visit Hiroshima, where the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped, forcing Japan to reinvent itself following the destruction.
To be as prepared as possible, our assembly hours and other lessons this autumn will focus on Japan and Japanese culture.
By encountering a culture that resembles our own in many ways—yet remains significantly different in so many others—you will undoubtedly gain a new perspective on yourself and our own culture. This will be the experience of a lifetime.
The study trip takes place in weeks 41-42. The trip is included in the price of your stay. There is no extra cost. Maximum 30 spots available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Day trips
On so-called teaching-weekends we often go on day trips. Since we are situated so close to the Danish-German border, these often go south of the border to Germany.
Day trips are included in your stay at no additional cost.
