INFO
How To Get There!
Højslev is a small town a little less than 1 hour away from our home city of Aalborg, Denmark in Northern Jutland. We have the venue all night on Saturday, so the ceremony, reception, and after party will all take place there. You will be able to park cars there overnight if needed.
Renting a car or driving will be the "easiest" way for you to get there independently on your own schedule. BUT, since there is no public transportation to the venue, we will be providing transportation (bus rental) leaving from Zleep Hotel at 3pm on August 12th.
If you would like to camp overnight, the information is under "camping" on the events page.
We will be giving you a place to provide your travel details when you RSVP/S.U. so we can be sure to get you home safely!
