The Poul la Cour Foundation, which was founded on March 25, 2000, aims to secure Poul la Cour's research center in Askov for posterity, to establish a museum on site, and to collect knowledge related to the history of wind power. With support from the Danish wind turbine industry, it was possible in 2000 to acquire the buildings worthy of preservation, which contain the historical background for the modern Danish wind turbine industry. https://www.poullacour.dk/

Nice shelter on Heerweg directly on Kongeåen. The place offers 2 spacious shelters, benches, a drinking water fountain and a toilet. It is located on a street with little traffic, but during the harvest period, huge tractors drive past every minute, so pack your ear plugs!
