Inn and Museum Grønhøj Kro
Grønhøj Kro is a 'royally privileged’ inn from 1848, located on Alheden in the Central Jutland. The area is often called "Eine kleine Deutschland", because the area represents a lot of German cultural heritage.
The Potato Germans
In the inn's stable buildings there are, among other things, rebuilt a barn that originated from German colonists (kartoffeltyskerne) who came to the country in 1760 and made the potato an attractive food in Denmark.
The "Kartoffeltyskerladen" stood about 100 meters from where it was rebuilt today during its first few years. After a few years, the owner decided to move his farm to a place where he had more land. Thus, it became one of the so-called "outlying farms". Today, there are still areas named after several outlying farms, such as "Tohuse", "Trehuse", "Firhuse".
