Medicinal Plants in the Pharmacy

Nyvangs garden for medicinal plants

As humans, we have an ancient tradition of finding our meidicine in nature.

In Nyvangs garden for medicinal plants we like to illustrate and tell stories about some of the plants, that were used for medicine around the 1940’s.

You find 19 selected plants from the pharmacy’s officially recogized lists of medicines and their ingredients from around the 1940’s. Specifically, we have used Pharmacopeae Danica 1933 and 1948.

The plants could be purchased at the pharmacies as drugs (dried plant parts), or they were included as ingredients in medicines. Take at look into Nyvangs pharmacy, where you find a laboratory with much of the equipment used to manufacture medicines containing plant parts.

Nature is a resource that can give both researchers and the rest of us new ideas in the future.

Enjoy nature and the stories in the garden.

Oplevelsescenter Nyvang
Nyvangs Allé 4
4300 Holbæk

Oplevelsescenter Nyvang is located outside Holbæk, close to the highway.

We have a large parking lot right by the entrance, so there is always space for your car.

We also offer parking for buses as well as handicap parking.

Accessibility

We have several accessible parking spaces close to the Welcome Center.

It is easy to get around the area with a wheelchair or walker, and many of the buildings are accessible. However, there are some places where creating a wheelchair-friendly entrance was not possible. Please feel free to contact the office for any questions or guidance.

We have a limited number of wheelchairs available for loan with prior reservation.

It is also possible to take a tour around Nyvang with our golf cart. For more information, contact our administration at +45 5943 4030 or nyvang@andelslandsbyen.dk.

You can enjoy delicious Danish dishes at our eatery, Traktørsted Madam Blaa.

You are also very welcome to bring your own food and enjoy it at one of the rest areas in the grounds.

If it rains and there are no other activities taking place in the community hall, it is also possible to eat your packed lunch there. (New activities are constantly being added, so it is not possible to reserve a spot in the community hall in advance for eating packed lunches.)

In rainy weather, smaller groups can find shelter for eating their packed lunches in the houses at the Activity Area.

You are very welcome to bring your dog to the area, but it must be kept on a leash.

Dogs are not allowed inside our buildings (service dogs are exempt).
