Auning Kart Park - Gokart i Jylland

In Allingåbro, on the Djursland peninsula in the east of Jutland, Auning Kart Park lays out an open-air karting track of about six hundred and twenty metres, on petrol karts. The venue happily bills itself as one of the most fun tracks in Denmark, with a tunnel, a banked NASCAR-style turn and the only suspension bridge installed on a kart track in the country. The track is floodlit for evening driving and stays open all year, even in the rain.

The layout, full of surprises, appeals to families as much as to groups out to race against friends or colleagues. A Pit Café offers refreshments, and group packages are arranged by booking, from birthdays to corporate outings. The emphasis is on the playful, accessible side, without giving up the thrills of a technical layout in the open air.

Allingåbro and neighbouring Auning lie in the centre of Djursland, a green region of manor houses and countryside, where the Gammel Estrup castle-museum tells the story of the great Danish estates. The coast and the town of Randers are not far, nor are the bay's beaches. Auning Kart Park adds an original open-air outing, off the beaten track thanks to its unique features, and stands out as a fun stop in the east of Jutland. You book online, and the mix of leisure and thrills makes it a prime stop for a family outing on the east coast of Jutland, in any weather.
