In 1830, when Jens Sophus Borch bought the large merchant's house, it was said to have been built in 1595 by the pharmacist Hermann Reiminch and his wife Margrethe, who had immigrated to Germany from Westphalia in the early 1580s. Until 1674, the courtyard housed a pharmacy and a wine cellar; after that, only a wine cellar and a distillery remained until 1796. The house is one of the best-preserved examples in Denmark of a Renaissance burgher house, a timber-framed building constructed of heavy oak, decorated with, among other things, cherub heads. The year 1595 and the initials H R and M R, representing Hermann Reiminch and his wife Margrethe Reiminch, are inscribed on the lintel above the entrance to Borch's house. Above the door in the gateway is another oak panel. On one side is an open hand with an open eye and the letters I.S. Below it are the letters V.C.P. The tablet dates from 1607. The open hand can be compared to a wooden tablet in St. Nicholas Church, bearing the same drawing and inscription, "Videndum cui fidendum," which was erected by Jens Sørensen, pastor in Kolding from 1591 to 1612. The Latin inscription means "One must be careful before trusting someone." In 1911, a real estate company acquired the buildings, which, in addition to the main house facing Akseltorv, also included numerous stables and warehouses on what is now the parking lot. The last of these disappeared around 1970. The main house was thoroughly restored in 1959, and the facade was renovated in 1990. More recently, the building housed a surveying company and municipal offices. In 1911, a real estate company acquired the buildings, which, besides the main house facing Akseltorv, also included numerous stables and warehouses on what is now the parking lot. As can be seen in the reproduction of Borchs Farm in Fyhns Kolding Book of 1848, the present gabled house had a slightly smaller counterpart to the east, which was demolished to make way for the plot on which Discoteque Tordenskiold was located. As can be seen, the rosette in the upper triangle is not original but was added in connection with the house's repair by the architect L. A. Winstrup in the 1880s. The house's wind vane comes from Kolding's oldest town hall, dating from 1582.

From the starting point, it's mostly paved until you actually start the MTB trail. The blue MTB trail halfway up (blue) is quite enjoyable, but it has some challenging climbs! We couldn't get back to the starting point through the meadow because the gate was closed/locked. And the last part of the MTB trail is very challenging/steep and more like a "red" category. We rode it at the end of October, with lots of leaves and rain in the days before, so it was really slippery and slippery in some sections.

On this wide, well-asphalted road, you can get out of downtown Kolding really fast and in a secure way. From here, you can also see the fjord.
