The New Hedeland

SLA is responsible for the development of The New Hedeland - a 1,500 ha cultural landscape. In SLA's development plan the area's unique nature and 10,000 years of cultural history complement each other in a coherent concept, creating new space for co-creation, interaction and cognition. Through three strategic alterations, Hedeland’s physical expression and narrative is enhanced, dramatized and organized. Holes are dug deeper, flat fields become mountains, and a connecting trail takes visitors through the area's best experiences. The wildness of nature is preserved and reinforced. And communities and companies are invited actively in through a collaborative process that makes Hedeland a scene for communal life, volunteerism and a new view of nature. Hedeland becomes a pioneering model for experience destinations based on voluntary work and human creativity.
