Hohenwarte is a farm stay just outside Højer in southern Jutland, Denmark. It hosts courses and conferences of up to 150 people and private parties, with three course rooms, 31 bedrooms and 96 beds on the same farm. The site lies in the protected Tønder marshland, 2 kilometers from the Wadden Sea.
Seminars and company events
The farm has three rooms that can be used for courses: a small room for 25 people, one for 50 and the largest for 150. The farm provides an LCD projector, a whiteboard, a flipchart and free internet. Guests can book a nature guide for a walk in the marsh, which suits a break in the program or a team outing.
Course packages cover one, two or three days. The one-day course starts in the morning and includes breakfast, a morning coffee, lunch, afternoon coffee with cake, and free fruit, coffee and water. The two-day course with an overnight stay adds one night, a second set of coffees and lunch, a two-course dinner and evening coffee. The three-day course follows the same pattern with two nights and two dinners, and an extra day with catering can be added. The meeting room is included in the package. Drinks with meals are not included, and a single room carries a supplement.
Many clients stay on the farm because it solves transport for people who travel far. When a group rents the apartments, these can serve as group rooms during the course.
Weddings and receptions
The farm organizes private parties under the name Hold fest på landet. A party package consists of a three-course menu, coffee and a late-night snack, with table setting, flowers, serving and cleaning included. Without the late-night snack the package is shorter. Drinks are bought on site. A group of more than 30 guests may bring its own drinks and pay a corkage fee per bottle, while smaller groups order drinks from the farm. Home-baked cookies can be added or guests can bring their own. The menu is built from the farm's menu card, or the host can bring recipes. A party package with one night, breakfast and the full evening program is also offered. The farm does not describe a wedding offer, so ask about it in your request.

History and setting
Hohenwarte is a working farm with goats, donkeys, rabbits, raccoons and deer, and a daily feeding round at 10:00. It is run by Vivi and Andreas Nielsen Paulsen. In spring and autumn thousands of starlings gather over the marsh at sunset, a phenomenon known as the Black Sun. The old sluice in Højer, Møgeltønder with Schackenborg Castle, the town of Tønder and the island of Rømø are all close by.
Getting there
The address is Siltoftvej 2, 6280 Højer. The farm is open from February 26 to January 14. Outside that season, call ahead on +45 23 41 24 47.
