Horsens

Kystlandet.com

Welcome to the Coastal Land A new holiday destination at the heart of Denmark. New, because few have yet discovered our lovely region - so you are actually a sort of first-mover. And new, because the Coastal Land unites VisitOdder, VisitHorsens and VisitJuelsminde.

Enjoy outdoor activities on the fjord and let yourself be enchanted by the breath-taking views across the water. Take the short trip to the charming little islands where you can feel yourself relax as soon as you step off the ferry. One of them, Endelave, has been named Island of the Year 2021. Here, you can meet the cute, wild rabbits while hiking along the Kanino. We have been looking forward to seeing you! The coast is clear, and you set the course.

In Horsens, you can experience the city's invigorating atmosphere and the old, but very active, shopping streets where art and stories oozes from every crack in the buildings. This also applies to the critically acclaimed museums that excite both children and adults.

Enjoy your holiday!

Visit the station town of Odder which is packed with local hospitality and architectural gems from a bygone era. Play the day away at the brand-new and open nature playground in the heart of Juelsminde, strike up a conversation with one of the locals at the harbour, enjoy a perfect fish dish, and make yourself at home in the cosy harbour town.

Helle Berthold Rosenberg Head of Tourism

ABOUT THE COASTAL LAND

The Coastal Land offers great discoveries and small adventures and, along the way, you'll discover the special lifestyle of the local areas. Here, the magical stream of the river Gudenå is most intense and romantic. Here, you'll find the most family-friendly beaches. Here, everyone takes pride in their local area and they like to share it - also when it comes to the recommendation of local marshmallow topping for your ice cream.

Did you know this about the Coastal Land? KM2

160.532

THE COASTAL LAND IS

1292 km2

INHABITANTS IN THE COASTAL LAND

The Coastal Land has more than 266 km of coastline …from Norsminde in the North to Vejle Fjord in the South and around the islands of the East Jutland archipelago.

We love playfulness in the Coastal Land …therefore, we have three treasure hunts that you can use to explore the area – for free! See page 18.

The island of the year 2021

…is in the Coastal Land and is called Endelave. The island is famous for its wild rabbits and the hiking trail “the Kanino”.

Kystlandet.com

Russia’s royal family resided in Horsens In 1780 Katharina the Great banished four princes and princesses to Horsens, where they lived for the rest of their lives in a large manor on the Town Square.

In 2017 a dedicated group of volunteers managed to save Træskohage Lighthouse from demolition. The now beautifully restored lighthouse is one of the area’s most cherished and distinctive landmarks.

Several of Denmark’s tallest “mountains” are located in the Coastal Land. Among them, the tallest one Yding Skovhøj rises 172,54 meters into the sky.

The river Gudenå

The Frigate Jylland lay in the bay in J uelsminde from 1912 til 1925, and one of its lost anchors still stands on the town’s marina.

The Danish explorer Vitus Bering (1681-1741) came from Horsens. He is called “the Zar’s Danish Columbus” and he proved, among other things, that the Asian and North American continents are not connected - when he discovered The Bering Strait.

We have Denmark’s only water park with escalators to the slides …in the indoor swimming pool complex Vandhalla in Hou.

Denmark’s oldest miniature golf course …is located at Saksild Beach.

ABOUT THE COASTAL LAND

…has its source in Tinnet Krat near the town of Tørring and stretches 160 km through Jutland. The most beautiful and jungle-like part is between Tørring and the monastery mill, Klostermølle – and is totally free of motorised boats.

Denmark’s most family-friendly beaches

Calm and shallow waters, plenty of space, and restaurants and facilities nearby make the Coastal Land the ideal choice for a beach holiday with children. With 266 kilometres of varied coastline, there are plenty of beaches to choose from. Here, you get our recommendations for the best of the best.

Saksild Beach, Odder If you ask the locals, Saksild Beach is the go-to destination in the summer. Clear bathing water, soft sandy ocean floor and accessible coastline as far as the eye can see. All this is complemented by good toilet facilities, lifeguard towers, ice cream kiosks, eateries and the opportunity to rent kayaks, paddleboards and to buy beach gear a few metres from the beach.

Husodde Beach, Horsens A few kilometres from the centre of Horsens, you find Husodde Strand. A family-friendly, sandy beach with a bathing jetty, a playground, public toilets, and the opportunity to play miniature golf or buy ice cream at the neighbouring Horsens City Camping. The beach is located in a beautiful area with a view of Horsens Fjord.

Storstranden, Juelsminde Wide, calm and very family-friendly sandy beach which is centrally located near the buzzing life of Juelsminde - Denmark's perhaps most beautiful harbour town. Here, you get really good ice cream, a top-cosy marina and a beach with good facilities, a brand new bathing jetty and plenty of room. Summertime Juelsminde is extremely charming.

Hou Beach This beach is one of the few beaches in Denmark that is truly wheelchair-accessible. A wheelchair slide leading to a wide bathing jetty means that everyone can get right to the water's edge on a hot summer’s day! That the beach also has a nice sandy ocean floor, beautiful views of Tunø and Samsø and is located a few hundred metres from the harbour town of Hou - well, that is just a huge bonus.

In open air

Nature in the Coastal Land may be beautiful, but it is not just purely for decoration. It is one big playground waiting for curious visitors. In addition to climbing hills and exploring forests, you can meet cute farm animals, play on large tractors or go on a ride in a horse-drawn carriage, to mention but a few.

In the brand new (and free!) Juelsminde Nature Playpark, you can compete on the Tarzan obstacle course and in paddle tennis, climb in a latticework tunnel to the top of the hill and see who can slide down the fastest. And much, much more. Are your children crazy about horses? Then take them on the cosy and quiet horse-drawn carriage ride with Kimbri along the coast and through the beautiful Fløjstrup Forest. Or on a ponying horse to the river Gudenå with Fuglsang Horseback Riding. You can also combine a visit to the rabbit island Endelave with a guided tour with Endelave guided horseback riding tours - a very special island experience that the whole family will love!

Visit Glud Museum - an open-air working museum with historic buildings and outdoor activities. Or let the family loose at Denmark's Ferguson Museum where boyhood dreams of climbing the really big machines come true. At The Children's Farm (Børnebondegården), the children think it is fantastic to experience a cow being milked and to be allowed to taste the milk. But meeting all the other animals is almost just as exciting – there are guinea pigs, chickens, geese, ducks, goats, sheep and horses. Are the good-natured trolls peeping out between the trees? And can you also hear the witch's hoarse laughter? We all love a good tale, and in The Fairytale Forest (Eventyrskoven), you are part of one. Watch the magic appear before you as you scan the QR codes along the way.

FAMILY FAVOURITES

Juelsminde Nature Playpark

A great tip

Crab fishing at the harbour is a huge hit amongst the little ones and, in several places, they have made something of it with e.g., a racetrack, a collection pool and life jackets. In the Coastal Land, you are always near a harbour.

Magnificent miniature golf courses

For the competitive and the playful we recommend a classic game of miniature golf! These are the best (mini)courses in the Coastal Land.

Your children can even do a ’Kids Round’, or the whole family can hit the grand 18-hole course.

Horsens City Camping Golfing in the dark ages - well, why not? This miniature golf course is medieval-themed, and in the centre, you'll find a knight’s castle. If you are not careful, you might end up in the witch’s boiling pot or in the pillory.

Endelave Grill & Café Straight off the ferry, you’ll find this café. Next to the café there is a 9-hole course where you can compete for honor and glory against your loved ones. The whole family can participate, or the children can have fun while you enjoy a quiet time in the café.

The Great Escape At the Prison in Horsens

The playground Mølleparken Odder’s green activity area

In the scenic settings around Odelsbjerget near the Juelsminde town centre, you’ll find a paradise for children and childish grownups. A plethora of playground equipment, facilities, tracks and challenges awaits. The varied activities mean that the children can play for hours while you relax, perhaps with a cup of coffee from the kiosk or a game of padel tennis at the playpark’s courts.

In the green areas outside of the old prison’s walls, children can play in a miniature edition of the Prison called “The Great Escape”. With hidden escape systems, jungle net, climbing wall and a swing set, this place has plenty of challenges for small adventurers. Combine your stay at the playground with a walk around the prison’s grounds, and maybe grab yourself a treat at the café Spisehuset 8F.

The playground Mølleparken by Andedammen (the duck pond) near Odder Museum offers both a green area and great playing facilities, such as swings, a climbing tower, a seesaw, a playhouse and tables and benches. Enjoy a picnic by the nearby creek, Odder Å, or spoil yourself with some coffee and cake from the museum’s café. Pure idyl!

FAMILY FAVOURITES

Toddlers, kids, or playful adults? In the Coastal Land you’ll find a lot of fantastic playground to enjoy with the whole family. Here are three of the best playgrounds in the Coastal Land.

If it rains

Yes, we do know that it happens. The showers in Denmark are the very reason that everything is so lovely and green. Luckily, we also have experiences here that are indifferent to weather conditions.

If your children cannot keep their fingers to themselves - then do take them to visit the Industrial Museum and the Prison Museum in Horsens. Here, there are no dusty exhibits. Instead, living storytelling where you are invited to play along. Barrit Legeunivers (an indoor playground in Barrit) between Horsens and Juelsminde has a playroom, a sensory room and a sports hall and admission is even free - remember to check the opening hours in advance.

Barrit Legeunivers (indoor playground) Vandhalla in Hou

tips for those who love water

The Industrial Museum in Horsens

You do not have to cancel your planned swim just because it is raining. The weather is always perfect for swimming in the three public pools Vandhalla in Hou, Spektrum Odder Svømmehal and Aqua Forum in Horsens which all have both water slides and hot water pools.

We also recommend a trip to Biffen in Odder. This cosy cinema always has great movies on the programme and the volunteer staff often arrange events for children. Also, drop by one of the local libraries where you can either read or play in the children's area and perhaps attend one of the free events.

FAMILY FAVOURITES

Does your family love friendly competition? If so, visit the event centre Kuglen & Keglen in Odder, where bowling balls fly down the lanes and the menu is suited for kids. Also, in Odder, at Padel1, the older children can try their hand at the fun sport padel tennis.

Travel Guide 2021

Aqua Forum

The smiles on the children reach all the way up to their ears. And we can easily understand that – is there anything better than water splashing and playing for hours? After visiting this water park, peace and quiet in the car ride home is a guarantee.

Packing four pools and a waterslide, Aqua Forum is every water lover’s dream. Those who are especially prone to playing can swim around in or through the water installations – such as the massage jets, the bubble bench, the counter current channels or the water falls. There is plenty of room for both children and parents to play around in the water and “climb” both big and small pool toys. Are you a family of thrill seakers? Then try the diving pool where you can jump into the water from either the 1-m or 3-m springboards or from the 5-m-tall diving tower. You can also try your hand at the climbing wall and jump back in the water from there.

A trip to the waterpark Aqua Forum offers both speed and excitement. Do not forget to try the 56 meter-long waterslide. If you have younger children, you can all have a great time in the lovely, warm water in the baby pool. Here, the view to the pool areas is good, enabling you to keep an eye on the bigger children gamboling in other parts of the waterpark. Perhaps your children are old enough for you to take a couple of leaps in the sports pool? Also try the spa bath, the steam bath, the sauna, and the shared tylarium. This is pure pleasure combined with complete relaxation.

The Amusement Pool Water temperature of 33°C (91.4°F) The pool is 220 m2. The Sports Pool Water temperature of 27°C (80.6°F) The pool is 25 metres long with 8 swimming lanes. The Diving Pool Water temperature of 27°C (80.6°F) The pool is 4 metres deep. The Baby Pool Water temperature of 34°C (93.2°F)

The Prison Would you like to put your life into perspective? Visit the Prison (“Fængslet”) and experience the illuminating history and events that played out here.

As soon as you get behind the thick prison walls, you are enthralled with the stories and adventures of this special place. With an award-winning museum, concerts, festivals and the opportunity for accommodation in old prison cells, the Prison has so much to offer.

But don’t worry. The Prison will not lock you up.

Enter an unknown world, now full of life, history and authentic personal tales.

The Prison is so much more than enclosing walls, prison court yards, storytelling, and old cell blocks. It is a cultural mastodont, filled with life, activity, and year-round experiences. It is a captivating conference hall, an office-hotel with thriving b usinesses, and an incubator for start-ups. And last, it is a unique hostel, where travelers get to sleep in the old cells. It is truly, a very special place, and Horsens’ most essential landmark.

The museum has won several awards for its exciting exhibitions, which give you a different and thought-provoking experience. Here you get an extraordinary opportunity to get behind bars and meet former inmates as shadows on the walls or follow an employee through the museum via interactive ID-cards.

Contrary to the great escape artist Carl Lorentzen, who dug his way out of the State Prison through an 18-metre-long tunnel, you are free to leave the prison again.

Did you know?

…that the last decapitation in Denmark took place in The Prison in 1892? You can see the axe in the museum exhibition.

Kystlandet.com

Events in 2021

Throughout the year the Prison has plenty of activities and events scheduled. This year you can attend these events, among others: International Fair for Crime Fiction, Horsens Medieval Festival, Beers Behind Bars, Wall of Sound music festival, Habengut flea market, the World Ballet, Prison Ink tattoo festival, Halloween, and Christmas market Find them all in the calendar at visithorsens.com.

The Industrial Museum

Do your children also love touching everything they see? Then there is nothing to worry about because this is heaven for curious fingers! At the Industrial Museum, there is room for play, and if you follow the footprints going through the buildings, you will be sure to experience it all. As soon as you enter the museum, you can feel it: You have stepped back in time and now you can really get an impression of what life was like for your parents, your grandparents and their parents. Throughout the summer, the museum arranges activi ties for children with a focus on handy work. You and your family can become industrial spies for a day, try attending a class as if you lived in 1950’s Denmark, visit a grocery shop in the shopping street or stand behind the counter in the old radio & TV shop.

In the Industrial Museum, the attention to detail and authenticity is overwhelming. In the worker's living quarters, all your senses are brought into play. Here you can explore not only how people lived in the old days but also what they ate, because in the kitchen the aunties are often preparing dishes from the old days, and you are welcome to taste! The museum is staffed with volunteers and passionate people who are enthusiastic about their field, so you can get an answer to all your questions. You will notice this, the minute you enter: The enjoyable atmosphere and the friendly, helpful staff. That is exactly what makes you feel welcome at once. Have a safe experience in a museum with plenty of space to explore everything.

DISCOVER HISTORY

Do you recognise the scent of “the good old days “? If not, then you can experience it in authentic surroundings at the Industrial Museum in Horsens. The museum tells the grand story of how the industrialisation shaped our society and the way we live today. And it manages to do so in an involving and entertaining way.

Museums rich with history The Coastal Land is abundant in culture and history, so wherever you are going, you’ll find exciting stories to delve in. Here, we have collected four museums, that really bring history to life - each and every one is a memorable experience for the whole family.

Glud Museum Would you like to know how life in the Danish countryside has been during the last 350 years? At Glud Museum you can enter Denmark’s oldest farmhouse, participate in fun family activities, experience workshops with volunteers working as blacksmiths, wood workers and weavers - or go see the the big show hall with farm tools, carriages, and crafts.

Horsens Museum Learn more about Horsens' history at Horsens Museum. See the exhibition on the local explorer Vitus Bering. Study the archeological artefacts and skeletons - or find out more about Horsens’ developments through time. The museum is free of charge. But our favourite thing is perhaps joining one of the historical city walks taking place throughout the year.

Odder Museum Odder Museum is situated right in the heart of Odder in a lovely green area close to the high street. When you visit the museum, you can explore the old mill that it is still fully functioning despite it being closed for 65 years. The museum is also known for its comprehensive program of activities and events, which often take place outside of the buildings of the museum.

Uldum Mølle Museum In the village of Uldum you’ll find a beautiful Dutch mill, standing tall as an idyllic local landmark. See the three grinder mills where the production takes place and walk onto the gallery and see the 23-metre-long wings up close – and remember to buy some of the products in the mill’s shop. Inside the beautifully preserved mill you can also experience a historical exhibition about the nearby marshlands Uldum Kær where Denmark’s only river Gudenå passes through.

Travel Guide 2021

The machines that revolutionised Denmark

There is plenty of opportunity for exploring history in a way that lets even the youngest family members take home an amazing experience. Learn a lot of new ‘fun facts’ about tractor history, industrial history and agricultural history on a tour of large and small museums with a lot of heart.

The old Ferguson splutters slightly but, otherwise, it starts without problems. The humming sound of the engine fills the air with nostalgia. There is something special about a Ferguson. On the farm Ankerslund, one tractor was not enough which means that, today, there is a line of 250 tractors in Denmark’s Ferguson Museum.

At Glud Museum, a mere three kilometres away, the hand-held, old-fashioned tools come into play. However, you are met with genuine fervour of the many volunteers at the working open-air museum. 350 years of agricultural history also includes one or two tractors because, here, you are taken on a time travel that takes you from the hard work of the 17th century to the more modern tools of the 1950s.

In fact, this is where you can experience the world's largest collection of Ferguson tractors.

Just as tractors revolutionised agriculture so, too, did the rest of society undergo a revolution with the advent of industrialisation. You can learn about this in the most entertaining way at the Industrial Museum in Horsens.

When the machines made their entry into Danish agriculture in 1917, they were revolutionary and, until the mid-1970s, almost every farmer had a Ferguson parked in the barn. At Denmark’s Ferguson Museum, you can follow the development, from the first models launched on the market to the end of the heyday and this gives you a very special insight into agricultural history.

Start by experiencing the old steam engines and internal combustion engines at full blast. When the tour guide starts the big machines, it is difficult to remain disinterested.

You will not believe your eyes when you see it, but it is true! At Denmark’s Ferguson Museum, there is a 12-metre-high sculpture in which 28 tractors are stacked to form a pyramid.

Buildings

that tell the course of history Denmark's historical heritage is evident from our buildings, nature, sculptures, and the landscape. Go on an excursion to some of the most distinctive historic buildings along the coast.

Today, most mansions and castles are privately owned and not accessible to the public. But that does not stop us from looking at them, taking walks in the gardens where this is permitted - and immersing ourselves in the many stories that are just waiting to be heard. By way of example, did you know that the fine lady of 18th-century Åkjær Mansion wanted not merely to be buried in a silk dress and neat silk stockings, but also insisted on the stockings being replaced every year for Christmas?

IV were kept in detention at the castle Boller Slot from 1630 until her death in 1658? The king accused her of a dultery, treason and attempts at poisoning and bewitching him – and banished her from the court.

This list of historic buildings in the Coastal Land is far from exhaustive. In fact, it is only a small sample of the treasures hidden in the landscape. Find many more historic buildings and fabulous tales in our online universe.

Island of the Year,

Endelave

Venture into the recreational summer activities on Endelave, meet wild rabbits and follow the beautiful hiking trail “the Kanino”.

Endelave is one of Denmark’s most beautiful natural islands and c ontains a unique variety of plants and habi tats, a miniature salt marsh with a rich bird and animal life as well as family-friendly, outdoor experiences. There is also a deciduous forest of gnarled trees, a “Skagen spit”, a colony of seals and, not least, lots of wild rabbits that have given the island the nickname “Rabbit Island”.

Follow the approximately 21-kilometer-long hiking route The Kanino around the island or let Turridning Endelave take you around the island on horseback. You can also rent a bike, go on a tractor ride or go for a walk with the Endelave island guide. In Endelave village you’ll find a lot of old half-timbered farms as well as a grocery store and eateries. In the Medical Herb Garden, you can enjoy

your lunch and explore the garden of organic herbs, medical plants and flowers. Endelave is located south of Horsens Fjord and can be reached with the Endelave ferry from the harbour town Snaptun. The crossing takes an hour, and, along the way, you can enjoy the view of M øllegrunden with its many seals and maybe be lucky enough to spot porpoises.

Kystlandet.com

Active & peaceful

During the summer, you can participate in an abundance of activities on Endelave - for free. The association called Endelave Aktiv Ø makes sure you get your heart rate up with activities such as crossfit, running, hiking, and martial arts.

Car-free Tunø Tunø is a small natural paradise with a fantastic history and an atmosphere that everyone should experience. A vibrant island community with its own school, grocery shop, amazing eateries, treasure hunt… and a traxi!

Explore the island from the back of a “traxi”

Around the island in a traxi

On the car-free island, there is a long tradition of transporting tourists and visitors around the island on the back of a tractor. They call it a traxi!

In the heart of the village, you’ll find the charming little Tunø Church with a unique 18-meter combined church tower and lighthouse. From the top of the tower, you have an amazing panoramic view of the island, and on clear days you can see all the way to the Great Belt (Storebælt) Bridge. You can also enjoy beautiful views on the tall cliffs on the north side of the island and the bird tower on “the mountain”.

Tunø is bustling with life and activity during summer. In the vegetable road stands you can buy fresh p otatoes, carrots and crispy green asparagus. The eateries at the harbour and in the village are open late. Only a few steps from the marina, you’ll find the cosy village centre with the local grocer’s, the lovely Gallery E ggertart and the beach hotel Mejeriet Tunø. Also, make sure you don’t miss out on the restaurant Tunø Smokehouse at the marina, known for its delicious smoked salts and lavish fish dishes.

How can you make children get up early and go for a long walk? You send them on a scavenger hunt around the island of Tunø! All scavenger hunters can get a free treasure map aboard the ferry. While hiking the 8.3 km walk around the island you must solve a few tasks. When you reach the finish line at the merchant’s house (Tunø Købmandsgård), all hunters will receive a medal.

THE EAST JUTLAND ARCHIPELAGO

On Tunø you’ll find space and time to truly unwind. The unspoiled and beautiful nature calls for presence and quality time. Enjoy cooled white wine and smoked fish at the harbour and delicious vegetable stands by the roadside. That is true island idyl. You can also walk the entire coastline in just three hours.

Island of the Vikings:

Welcome to Hjarnø

Even though the Island of Hjarnø is located just 500 meters from the mainland, the island ambience is real. As soon as you get to the little ferry quay, time stops, and whispers of ancient history emerges and fuses with the sea breeze.

Did you know?

…that there has been found arrow heads on Hjarnø dating back to 9500 BC, and that sometimes ancient artefacts still wash up on the shore?

Vestergaard Mølleri

The best way to explore the island is either by foot on the scenic 7 km hiking trail, on your bike, or on a sightseeing-tractor-tour with Hjarnø Camping. Do you like snapshots? Then grab your camera and join the guided photo safari!

Did you know? …that Hjarnø Kartofler and the charming Vestergaard Mølleri (flour mill) on Hjarnø is part of the Coastal Land’s Food Map? Read more on page 120.

On the island’s southern coast, you’ll find the “Viking Ships”, a stone row probably from the Viking Age. King Hjarne, who the island is named after, is said to have been laid to rest here! The church on Hjarnø is the second smallest in Denmark, and the votive ship hanging under the vault is a model of a Viking ship.

THE EAST JUTLAND ARCHIPELAGO

You can access the island via the Hjarnø Ferry which sails the 5-minute trip 30 times a day. Visit Hjarnø as a part of your island hopping in Horsens Fjord, or stay a little longer and breathe in all the authentic island charm.

Idyllic Alrø

A small, idyllic island with half-timbered houses, great eateries, and giant Danish patty shells.

Did you know?

...that one customer managed to eat five giant patty shells at Café Alrø?

The island is home to some very nice eateries. Visit Møllegården where the restaurant is set up in the former stables of a pig farm. And at Café Alrø, you can try to beat the record in patty shell eating. You sense the closeness to the sea and nature everywhere, and many windsurfers, kitesurfers, kayakers, anglers and yachtsmen use the waters around Alrø. In the southern end of the island, you’ll find the old steamboat pier, which is a popular excursion spot all year round. This is also the place where the small bicycle-ferry crosses the inlet of Horsens Fjord and connects Alrø with Hjarnø during summer.

THE EAST JUTLAND ARCHIPELAGO

There is a special kind of atmosphere on Alrø. The winding road, the s cattered half-timbered houses, and the beautiful nature with the everpresent coastline. Danish author, Morten Korch, did in fact live and work on Alrø for several periods, where he let himself be inspired by the surroundings on the island. The farms such as Bakkegården and Møllegården can be recognised in his writings.

7 scenic (sort of) summits Grab your camera and cross off these natural gems, one by one.

Magnificent views from one of Denmark’s “mountains”

Sukkertoppen: Forget about Denmark being flat as a pancake. One of Denmark's mountains is found in the Coastal Land with steep heathered sides and the trip to the top being one of Denmark’s more challenging climbs. The hike is about 4 km and the views of Mossø and the river Gudenå are fantastic. If you list a top-10 of overlooked Danish natural gems, there is no getting around Sukkertoppen.

Such a handsome lighthouse, it should have its own Instagram account

Træskohage Lighthouse from 1904 is an iconic landmark of the area around Stouby and Vejlefjord. The 13-metre-tall lighthouse has recently been restored and, today, is an excellent observation tower with fantastic views of the fjord. On a clear day you can actually see all the way to Funen! It is also a popular motif for nature photographers and Instagram enthusiasts.

Unique cultural landscape by the river Gudenå

The marshland Uldum Kær is a protected nature reserve with a rare flora and fauna. A welldesigned network of trails lets you experience the large bog and marsh area up close. Start at the bird tower and soak up the views.

Kystlandet.com

The best view of Horsens Fjord

The deep forests of Sondrup are located in a hilly landscape on an elongated hillside that was formed during the last ice age - an unusually beautiful and varied area just north of Alrø. Both Sondrup Bakker and Uldrup Bakker are amongst the favourite destinations of the locals. Being 74 metres above the fjord, Blakshøj is the highest point – but you can enjoy best views at the hills of Trustrup.

Nature and ancient monuments at Vejle Fjord

In the hilly Staksrode Forest, you'll find one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in Denmark with high slopes, fallen trees, untouched and rare nature. There are four signposted routes, each with its own colour code. We recommend the beautiful yellow route which takes you past a real castle ruin and sea views that take your breath away.

EXPLORE NATURE

900 years of cultural heritage

The monastery mill Klostermølle is located where the river Gudenå feeds into Mossø, Jutland's largest lake, and is thus perfectly visited in combination with taking a trip to Sukkertoppen (the sugar hill). The mill was built by Benedictine monks in the 12th century and has subsequently been used as a paper mill. Enjoy the amazing views from the bird tower at the northern end of the curing barn.

Feel the wind in your hair at the highest point in Denmark

Do you want to brag about having climbed Denmark's highest mountain? Then you need to tick off Yding Skovhøj as, at a vertical rise of 172.54 metres, it is taller than all other Danish peaks. That is, if you count the small Bronze Age mound at the top. At the top, you can enjoy the finest views of the the river Gudenå to the west while the wind ruffles your hair, just like on a real mountain peak.

The Uncovered Bridge is located in an area of great scenic beauty north-west of Horsens and is visited by more than 100.000 guests each year. It was originally built as a part of the railway between Bryrup and Horsens in 1899, and at the time of the opening it was the tallest bridge in the Nordic countries. Today, you can ride your bike across the bridge on The Nature Trail Horsens-Silkeborg. You should also go for a walk in the beautiful nature and enjoy your packed lunch at the riverbank.

VETERANBANEN BRYRUP – VRADS

Veteranbanen Bryrup – Vrads is operated by a group of volunteers who aim at preserving the historic railroad materials, buildings, and facilities in an authentic atmosphere dating from 1929 – 1968, and at maintaining the operation of the vintage train on the stretch.

SEASON 2021 28.03 - 26.09

Ticket prices 2021 Adult one-way............................................... DKK 50 Adult return ................................................... DKK 80 Children from 3 to 11 years ................ Half price

The railroad line, which originally connected the villages along the stretch between Horsens and Silkeborg, was closed in 1968. However, 5 km of this stretch is preserved as vintage railroad.

See timetable at Veteranbanen.dk

Hovedgaden 34H 8654 Bryrup, + 45 75 75 60 35

It is a very scenic train ride which rightly is called ”Denmark’s most beautiful railroad.” A ride on the railroad is an experience for both young and old. The vintage train stops at the restaurant Vrads Station where you can buy refreshments.

Travel Guide 2021

Canoeing along the most beautiful stretch of the river Gudenå In Tinnet Krat, a small spring trickles out of the ground. This is the start of Denmark's only river and longest stream - Gudenå. It stretches 160 km through the landscape, all the way to its estuary in Randers Fjord. But the most beautiful stretch is found between Tørring and the monastery mill, Klostermølle.

The whole family huddles up – literally – in a canoe. That’s why, it is a completely unique way to be together as a family when the slim boat is pushed from shore and gently rocks along the river Gudenå. The southern stretch of Gudenå is breath-taking with narrow, winding stretches and no larger lakes. The journey will take you through Uldum Kær, a protected bog with abundant nature. You get close to The Uncovered Bridge, the beautiful old hydro plant Vestbirk Vandkraftværk and end up at the cosy monastery mill Klostermølle with a view of Mossø at the foot of the hill Sukkertoppen - one of the hidden treasures of the Coastal Land. The whole trip is 40 km and can be completed in two to three days at a leisurely pace.

Why visit the Amazon rainforest when you can visit Gudenå in Denmark?

Part of the stretch towards Klostermølle takes you through forests and is almost jungle-like which has earned it the nickname “Denmark's Amazons”. 800 years ago, the monks of the monastery dug the canal to utilise the hydropower for their mill. From Tørring to Klostermølle you are only permitted to sail in one direction and only using non-motorised vessels. This makes canoeing along this route especially wonderful if you are a beginner or have children on board. At the canoe rental place Tørring Kanoudlejning, you can arrange pick-up at your end-destination and transport back to your car. During the summer, you can also catch "the upstream bus" (in Danish Modstrømsbussen) and be transported back to your departure point. Find the ultimate guide to your canoe trip at kystlandet.com.

Brædstrup

…the beacon of “Bakkelandet” Located among the highest peaks in Denmark, Brædstrup offers both delicious food, several nice shops and an historic railway path.

Brædstrup’s main square has recently undergone urban renewal, with special emphasis to the old railway Bryrupbanen, that runs through town. A recreational a rea with swings, outdoor seating and lots of trees now comprise the town-center, which is already known for its proximity to nature – with The Uncovered Bridge only 10 km away. Step onto the h istoric railway, which today is one of Denmark’s most beautiful hikingand biking trails, and feel yourself taken aback, to a time when the steam trains were the crown jewel of industrialisation.

At Fru Skov in Brædstrup, you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee while you look for delicious tea, coffee, spices and other specialties or new gourmet utensils. At Water of Life, you’ll find exclusive brands of whiskey, gin, rum, port or champagne, and even attend different tastings. Restaurant Det Gamle Posthus (the old post office) The Hotel Pejsegården

Did you know?

…that Pejsegården is the largest privately owned hotel in Denmark? The family-run hotel has 118 rooms, a rotating bar, a bowling alley, swimming pool, sauna, and they can accommodate up to 1600 restaurant guests at a time!

Wanna experience true passion? At Fossile Smykker in Ring near Brædstrup you’ll meet Poul, who (as a hobby!) has converted his home to a museum where he shares prehistoric discoveries gathered through numerous trips to, amongst other places, Asia and Africa. Dinosaurs, pre-historic elephants, and ”frozen lightnings” are just some of the artefacts that you’ll see at Poul’s museum. Lastly, remember your hiking shoes, your swimsuit, and your repair kit, as Brædstrup is a natural starting point for excursions into nature’s own amusement park.

Small town – great shopping!

Vejle Fjord

The northern shores of Vejle Fjord are characterised by beautiful nature and a dramatic coastline. In just one day, you can visit beaches, forests, fossils, castle ruins and a photogenic lighthouse.

Start the day by being blown backwards by the most impressive views. From the characteristic high slopes of Staksrode Forest, you can see all the way to the islands Æbelø and Funen. Looking the other way into the wild and untamed forest is just as fascinating. But do not worry, there are marked hiking routes of between 2.5 and 5 km which means that you can calmly venture into the wilderness and go hunting for the ruin of the robber’s fortress Stagsevold.

At the foot of the slopes of the forest, you can continue the hunt on Stenhøj Beach - look for fossils and playful porpoises which you can spot along the coast.

Then, continue to Rosenvold. There, you'll find a lovely beach, a cosy caravan site where you can buy a well-deserved ice cream, a castle and, not least, an intimate marina with a small playground. Further towards the bottom of the fjord, you'll find the beautiful spa hotel Vejlefjord and its beautiful park as well as many historic paths in the park, which were used for promenading in the old days. These take you past the iconic Træskohage Lighthouse, amongst others. The lighthouse offers a fantastic view of the fjord and is a favourite motif of nature photographers as well as Instagram enthusiasts.

Kystlandet.com

Did you know?

…that Vejle Fjord was formed during the largest ice advance of the most recent ice age? The northern coastline of the fjord is characterised by steep slopes where sudden landslides can occur, causing trees to fall onto the beach. Fortunately, developments are closely monitored which means that you can move safely on the shore.

Did you know?

…that Staksrode Forest is home to the ruins of a robber’s fortress? According to legend, that is. Follow the yellow route and cross the moat via the small wooden bridge to get to the ruin of the medieval castle, Stagsevold.

5 parks and gardens to fall in love with

Palsgaard Slotspark

On the grounds of one of Denmark’s biggest and most beautiful manors, Palsgaard Slot, you’ll find an exceptionally beautiful park. This open park near Juelsminde stretches out over 21 hektar – with each one having been attended to in great detail. The park has six ponds and a vast number of rare trees and plants, incorporated into the park’s flora in the 1800s by the then owner, Frederik Wedel Jarlsberg. On your walk around the park, you’ll also be met by many sculptures, statues and other modern art pieces.

Den Kreative Have

In the idyllic village of Haldrup, you’ll find this Japanese-inspired garden with streams, lakes, cosy seating areas and a vast number of topiaries. Enjoy the sight of the tame Koi carps and visit the gallery where colourful paintings are exhibited and sold. Twice, the Creative Garden has been named Denmark’s most beautiful garden. And when you walk around the 4,250 m2 garden, you understand why.

Økologiens Have

With its 20 acres of countryside, the garden Økologiens Have is Scandinavia’s largest public organic garden. Here you can romp happily in the covered straw-playground, sit in willow huts, or have fun in the giant-sized sandpit. Or why not have a little chat with all the animals - pet a pony and scratch a donkey or a goat behind their ears. Besides, you find pigs and a chicken run. Learn how to grow your own garden in accordance with ecological principles – or just enjoy a relaxing day in beautiful, green surroundings.

Kystlandet.com

Boller Slotspark

A visit to offers beautiful scenery and and well-manicured nature. Here you can feel the history and see one of Denmark’s oldest trees, the approximately 1000-year-old hollow oak. From the oak there is a view to the castle Boller Slot and the surrounding moat, where large carp live.

Rhododendronhaven

Just north of Tørring, you find Scandinavia’s largest rhododendron paradise with bushes more than 50 years old. The rhododendron-bush flowers in early spring but the bloom is usually at its fullest during the second half of May. Therefore, the park is open from 1 April to 15 June. During this period, the park is at its prime, so you are sure to experience the many different colours of the plants.

If you are the type who sleeps in your hiking shoes or bicycle helmet, then pack your backpack and go around Horsens Fjord – also known as the “Fjordmino” – and spend the night in a shelter. If you want a slightly more comfortable experience, or if you have short-legged travel companions, you can just select a handful of experiences and go on a day trip - or book a soft bed for an overnight stay.

Elbæk forest

From Alrø in the east, which has been inhabited since the Stone Age, to the cultural city of Horsens in the west, you will find great natural wealth, historical sights and quaint museums. On the northern shore of the fjord there are beautiful eminences and beaches. On the southern shore, you should make a point of visiting the narrow peninsula Borre Knob and make sure to also pop into the working open-air museum in Glud.

Stand-up paddling at Saksild Beach

Welcome to a perfect area for water sports! The entire coastline is perfectly suited for kayaking and stand-up paddling, while conditions at Alrø and Borre Knob are ideal for kiting and windsurfing.

Water sports have never been this popular. And with good reason! What better way to explore nature than from the water while also activating your stiff muscles?

Everyone can participate, you actively use your body and experience nature. Stand-up paddling is mentally destressing.

Stand-up paddling has become particularly popular in Danish harbours and beach environments. It is truly a balancing act. But once you catch on, you are blessed with good views.

Our many beaches attract sun-hungry bathers. But seeing kayaks slide past you, out at sea, is also quite common. The area is home to several rowing and kayaking clubs as well as rental places.

Fishing for pure freedom

266 km of coastline means an abundance of opportunities for coastal fishing. Add to that the many lakes and streams, and the Coastal Land reveals itself as a pure fishing paradise.

The coast around the Juelsminde peninsula is varied and, therefore, contains plenty of good fishing spots for every level of experience. You can fish using spinner or fly and you can fish from either the shore or from a boat. Trout, in particular, are fond of the waters here and it is also possible to hook garfish, flatfish and cod.

The area is known for its excellent trout fishing which peaks in the periods April - June and September - October. Vejle Fjord and Horsens Fjord are beautiful places to fish. The area

near the pier at the tip of Alrø is particularly popular with local fishermen who wade to the fairway. This also applies to the tip of Borre Knob just across the fjord. Be aware, however, that, in both areas, the water suddenly becomes very deep. There is free fishing along the Danish coasts - that is, you do not need to buy a separate fishing permit to fish here. Norsminde Harbour is also a good fishing spot. Because it is on the Norsminde Fjord outlet, there are massive numbers of sea trout that swim back and forth through the harbour when migrating to and from the stream of Odder Å.

You’ll find particularly peace-ful fishing in the many local lakes and streams but check the rules before you cast your line. At most lakes and streams, fishing rights belong to the landowners and local fishing associations. In addition to the state fishing permit, you need to purchase a separate fishing permit to fish in these water bodies. Fishing permits, restrictions, closed seasons and minimum sizes applying to the fishing waters of the sport fisherman’s associations can be obtained by contacting the local sports fisherman’s association.

Kystlandet.com

A great tip

If you need advice on how to coast fish, we recommend a visit to Effektlageret in Horsens, which also offers a large selection of fishing gear.

Remember the fishing permit

If you are between 18 and 65, you need a valid fishing permit. You can buy one online at fisketegn.dk.

Horsens Art Museum

If you want to let art under your skin, a visit to this impressive art museum is an absolute must.

Largest and most well-known on the Horsens art scene is the Horsens Art Museum which, for more than 100 years, has let the public enjoy an impressive, rich and varied selection of modern Danish art in an atmospheric building with a fantastic inflow of light.

In fact, the museum has the world’s largest collection of Kvium’s works.

Beautifully located in the city park of Caroline Amalie Lund, the brilliantly white museum sits atop the hill of the park with its simple design and “white cube” architecture which can easily match international standards.

In 2021, experience the new exciting exhibitions by contemporary artists such as the American street art artist PhoebeNewYork and the New York-based artist Nick Theobald in dialogue with the late Emil Westman Hertz. Some of the museum’s permanent collections include Erik A. Frandsen, Christian Lemmerz and Nina Sten-Knudsen.

Today, an entire room is dedicated to the works of the local-born Michael Kvium, who has attained global recognition with his distinctive, engaging and characteristic style – and has generated much debate.

Also, pop into the museum shop which has an exciting selection of clothes, books, posters, games, crafts and other fine items that are perfect as a holiday souvenir or as a gift for a hostess.

Café focusing on sustainability In the organic museum café, Gordon’s Gæstebud, you are guaranteed a tasty experience. In addition, you can enjoy the views of the beautiful chestnut trees of the Caroline Amalie Lund as well as several of the permanent art installations and sculptures in the museum park.

Nothing beats a day at the stands

In Horsens, football is the biggest sport – at least if you are here as a spectator. Visit the city’s stadium, CASA Arena Horsens, where you can follow the football club, AC Horsens, when they run onto the field.

AC Horsens was founded over 25 years ago, in 1994, as a collaboration between FC Horsens and Horsens Forenede Sportsklubber. The club’s dream of moving up in the Superligaen finally became a reality in 2005 with a series of 20 matches without defeat – including 12 consecutive victories. Both are still club records today. With only a couple of detours to Denmark’s second league, AC Horsens has since played against Denmark’s best football teams. The team answers the nickname “Den Gule Fare” or “The Yellow Danger”, and you may recognise the players by

their yellow and black uniform colours. The club values are unity, humility and hard work. This is also reflected in the attitude of the players, the stadium and the fans. Horsens is also home to Horsens IC, one of Denmark’s best basketball teams. The team plays its home games in the basketball league, Basketligaen, in Forum Horsens. The same court is used by the ladies in the handball club, Horsens Håndboldklub, who are in Denmark’s first handball series.

The energy of a big city – charm of a small town

Oh, Horsens! The industrial city with the qualities of a big city without actually being a big city. Free from the bustle and the stress. Rich in art, entrepreneurship, soul, gastronomy, music, green oases and cultural life. A charming city rooted in its history. And entirely one of a kind.

Horsens has managed to utilise its past as a prison and industrial city to its advantage and, today, it offers relevant and authentic experiences to everyone who comes to visit. The newly renovated city centre invites activity and life in the streets. There is room to settle down and take in the life of the city. There are super-cosy restaurants and sidewalk cafés - both in the wide pedestrianised high street and the intimate side streets which are steeped in atmosphere.

Beautiful and challenging street art peeps out of the secret nooks and crannies of the city.

A simple walk through Horsens quickly turns into an exploration of art when the cityscape suddenly shows off colourful and surprising details. The beautiful murals in the city are found everywhere - at Horsens Art Museum, you can get a free guide to sculptures and street art which you can take with you when exploring the street art. Horsens also attracts the energetic, outdoorsy types who like to add a little greenery to their cobblestones. The town beach of Langelinie is a good spot for a refreshing stroll, some playtime or settling down whereas the historic Bygholm Park right at the city centre is the favourite destination of many locals.

Denmark’s cosiest harbour town

While the boats rock gently on the water, the quay is full of life and a happy atmosphere with the sound of children’s laughter mingling with the diners’ clinking cutlery. The Juelsminde marina is the beating heart of the town and a holiday dream served on a silver platter.

With its irresistible harbour environment, top-notch beaches, plenty of playgrounds, restaurants and cafés as well as its busy shopping area, Juelsminde has everything to be desired by your and your family’s holiday heart.

The town is jam-packed with harbour charm as you know it from the coastal towns of southern Europe but without the cheeky waiters.

Here, ocean view is not something for which you pay extra but simply present, everywhere you look. At the harbour, you’ll find both attrac tive restaurants with fresh-fromthe-sea fish dishes and ice cream for those with a sweet tooth as well as a harbour museum, a playground and a crab racing track. Adjacent to the harbour, you find one of Denmark’s best and most family-friendly beaches and the town has two miniature golf courses and several playgrounds. The large Juelsminde Nature Playpark is

106

especially popular amongst children and the young at heart. Perfectly located between Horsens Fjord and Vejle Fjord, Juelsminde is a popular destination for sailors – and everyone else who has a penchant for salt water. In the charming harbour town, everything is within walking distance. Just a few metres from the water’s edge, you can shop in the cosy shops or move into the backyard of the town, Tofteskoven, whether on foot or on mountain bike.

Waterfront shopping

When Juelsminde prides itself on being for the whole family, it is of course also for mum and dad. The cosy streets of Juelsminde have several specialty shops for the discerning buyer with everything from fashion, beach gear, home decor to handmade unique products.

Only a few places in Denmark do you get a shopping experience like that of Juelsminde. The shops are so close to the harbour that you can almost hear the crashing waves while you shop. It is so very cosy! Afterwards, take a stroll to the beach, catch crabs with the kids, enjoy an ice cream at the marina or have lunch while looking at maritime life.

Charming harbour towns

We have many beautiful harbours. Juelsminde is one of them and there are also all the lovely island harbours. And then, we have all the others, each with their own, distinct attraction. Read along and learn a bit about each of them!

The large and small sailing ships gently rock in the water. Sailors and visitors to the harbour stroll along at a leisurely pace. Some take care of a few chores, others eat an ice cream, and it all contributes to creating a cosy, maritime atmosphere in which it is great to sit back.

Horsens

We love Horsens Marina for its closeness to the city and its liveliness. It has kept its original quality with charming wooden sheds from the old fishing environment. For families with young children, there’s a large playing area, a jetty for crab fishing and even a cable ferry. There are many new, exciting projects at the harbour right now - including the harbour lido which opens in the summer of 2021! Enjoy a nice meal and a glass of chilled wine at Pynten with eminent views of the marina.

Hou

You might have heard of Hou as the ferry harbour with connections to the islands of Tunø and Samsø. But Hou is so much more than that. The marina offers classic, Danish maritime atmosphere, while staying in touch with the unspoiled, old ferry port. Visit Hou and take a seat with a cold beer in the summer or hot cup of chocolate in the winter chill. The marina is located close to the town Odder as well as some of the best beaches of the area.

Norsminde

Snaptun

Sailors make pilgrimages to this super family-friendly marina in a cosy setting, perfectly situated at the mouth of Horsens Fjord. A large playground, a pagoda, an ice cream kiosk and several restaurants as well as small “bush paths” along the beach make the harbour an activity El Dorado for the little ones. There is always something going on here, especially because of the ferry service to Endelave and Hjarnø. With its proximity to the islands and other harbours, the harbour also has everything your family-holiday-heart could wish for.

Rosenvold

If you are looking for a quiet and intimate marina in a scenic setting, then Rosenvold is the obvious choice. Located at the mouth of Vejle Fjord, you are surrounded by forests and beaches, just a short walk from some of the area’s great nature experiences. Rosenvold is the perfect place to unwind.

COSY URBAN SPACES AND SHOPPING

The cosy marina at Norsminde Fjord is the perfection destination for a day trip on a warm summer day. First, thanks to the exquisite eateries – whether you have a taste for fish cakes from Norsminde Fiskehus or gourmet at the historical Norsminde Kro. Bring your family, buy an ice cream cone, or have a stroll at the beach. Norsminde marina is located right where Norsminde Fjord meets the Kattegat via a lock and a narrow entrance.

The old station town full of charm Don’t miss out on a get-away to Odder. An old station town with beautiful buildings, a lovely shopping street, green areas, atmospheric squares and a chirping creek that runs straight through town. And of course – a free treasure hunt!

Odder is a busy town full of commerce as well as a haven for the family with children. Here you’ll find lots of exciting chain stores as well as unique specialty boutiques. Enjoy a much-earned break at Polititorvet, where the soft sounds of the creek sets the perfect backdrop to the charming old-town square. It’s one of our absolute favorites! Odder is buzzing with life and activities for both young and old.

Did you know?

…that “Odder” means “otter” in Danish? However, the town was not named after the animal. The name probably refers to a crossing between two water courses or a ford. Thus, on the municipality’s crest, you can see two streams that meet, thereby creating aspit of land.

The magic of the roadside stall

Grab a bag of fresh carrots and some homemade jam - but remember to pay. The self-service roadside stalls are based on an old, Danish tradition and our deep trust in others. That is a thing of beauty!

The roadside stall is open Everywhere, you’ll come across small roadside food stalls where you can buy everything from berries and fruits to apple juice, jams and the freshest vegetables. With fresh air and scenic surroundings included, it is the perfect family getaway.

The slightly larger version of the roadside stall is the farm shop. And there is certainly no shortage of farm shops. Fru Møllers Mølleri is a complete and authentic country experience with everything you would expect. Make sure to set aside plenty of time so you can pop into the ice cream shop, the slaughterhouse, the garden centre and the mill - and fill your basket with freshly baked bread, aioli, cake and flour for your pantry.

Continue to Karensminde Orchard and buy their delicious, home-pressed juice and, of course, a tray of fantastic cherries which you are allowed to eat in the car. At Karensminde, you’ll also find delicious apples, pears, plums and other berries - and you can even choose to pick them yourself. Also, visit the organic farm of Brandbygegaard and fill your car with their cider and wines. In the southwestern part of the region, you find the farm Blåbærgården which is so beautiful and charming. If you are visiting during the short blueberry season in July and August, this is a must for any lover of farm shops. Find many more farm shops in the overview on page 151 and hunt for road stalls yourselves.

CULINARY EXPERIENCES

One of the best things about whizzing around the Coastal Land is the many cosy farms you pass along the way. They supply high quality local produce to restaurants, supermarkets and other locals. But you are also allowed a taste! Take an excursion in the countryside and find delicious produce right by the roadside.

Danish specialties Go on a tasting journey into the traditional Danish kitchen. This is solid, authentic food that really satisfies you and makes your taste buds rejoice.

In the Coastal Land the traditional Danish cuisine never goes out of fashion. Danish minced beef steak, fried pork with parsley, chicken and asparagus tartlets, “smørrebrød” and “wienerbrød” – they have a special place in the Danish heart. The most famous Danish dish of all is probably crispy fried pork with boiled potatoes and parsley sauce, often served with pickled beetroots and cucumbers or gherkins. Try it at Dollys in Horsens, Pejsegården in Brædstrup or Korning Kro. Fried fish filet is another danish specialty.

Get it a Pynten in Horsens, where you have a full view over the scenic marina. If your heart skips a beat when hearing about these classic dishes, then a trip to the charming island of Alrø is highly recommended. Here you find several great eateries with traditional Danish cuisine on the menu. Enjoy the view of the inlet of Horsens Fjord, while you eat a beef tartare at Møllegården, a farm which is included in the writings of the famous Danish author Morten Korch.

126

Or visit the hilly countryside (Bakkelandet) west of Horsens and stop by Det Gamle Posthus, or go to the top of the Coastal Land, to Norsminde Smokehouse & Seafood Restaurant. Both establishments serve the fish-dish “Stjerneskud” (shooting star) – which is a favourite among guests. Are you more into cold plates, then visit Restaurant Møllers in Juelsminde or Mejeriet Tunø at the island of – well – Tunø, that both serve the culinary classic: Danish “smørrebrød”.

Kystlandet.com

“Smørrebrød”

Denmark is world famous for the “smørrebrød”: an open sandwich where the base is a slice of rye bread spread with butter or grease, which is then topped with a good layer of cold cuts. The Danes have enjoyed “smørrebrød” since the 1880s, where the Industrialisation meant that many workers spent their days away from home, and therefore had to bring a packed lunch with them.

Traditional cuisine

Extraordinary gastronomy

Here, you find superb restaurants and eateries, the best local produce, well-appointed wine lists and exclusive surroundings that provide you with a true gourmet experience. Bon Appétit!

At the top of the Coastal Land, at the charming harbour in Norsminde Fjord, you’ll find a heavyweight in Danish gastronomy. Norsminde Kro has existed since 1693 and has both a brasserie and Restaurant Près, a top-notch gourmet restaurant, as well as an authentic wine cellar. In Horsens, the pedestrian street Søndergade along with the small streets in the area is known as “the Latin Quarter” They truly form the city’s gastronomic nerve. Here you can have almost everything your hungry heart desires, regardless of whether you prefer the classic, the spicy or the delicate. For example, visit the modern steakhouse Møhr, enjoy the well-selected, organic seasonal menus at Gasfabrikken, or gorge yourself on street food from the various food stalls at Posthuset. Having difficulty deciding? At Ji-Mi’s in the Latin Quarter, simply choose whether you want five or seven delicious gourmet dishes and then just sit back and enjoy great food in an intimate restaurant and in extraordinarily good company.

At the centre of Odder, the taste of a small Romanesque village peeps out. Vecchio Convento means “the old monastery” and this family-run restaurant serves you a portion of real Italy, honest ingredients and a deeply felt passion for food, wine and classic gastronomy. A surprising and very special experience. The restaurant at Hotel Juelsminde Strand is definitely worth a visit for those who enjoy particularly good food. They even produce their own wine! With views of Juelsminde and the blue sea of the Kattegat combined with an exciting seasonal menu, you are guaranteed a full and tasty experience. On the island of Alrø, you can enjoy a meal in a renovated pigsty. We are not joking! In fact, we would say that you would rarely have eaten so well in such a small island. Contemporary, seasonal dishes with a personal touch. See the full list of restaurants at the pages 150-151.

First-class spa and wellness

Holiday at last! It is time for relaxation. And for pampering. And preferably both at the same time. If this is your type of holiday, then you’ll love the spa and wellness experience at Hotel Vejlefjord Kur & Spa. Bring your friends or your sweetheart � but leave the children at home. This is your day.

Putting it shortly: Mmmm! Hotel Vejlefjord offers to pamper your body and soul. Feel the worries and thoughts of work melt away as your muscles relax. With a formidable selection of thermal baths, sensory showers, salt pool, saunas, steam baths and spa treatments, a visit to Vejlefjord is pure therapy. You will experience how temperatures, lights, sounds, scents, tactile stimulation and the scenic surroundings sharpen your senses while simultaneously activating and relaxing every fibre in your body. In addition, you can experience Denmark’s only Thalasso spa where you can enjoy the softening and de-stressing effect of salt.

Since 1900, the treatments at Vejlefjord have focused on pampering, tranquillity, immersion, healthy eating, exercising and fresh air.

When it was a sanatorium, these elements were essential for the recovery and healing of the patients. And more than 100 years later, these are still the principles - in renewed and refined form - that make you leave Vejlefjord as the best version of yourself. A visit to Hotel Vejlefjord Kur & Spa includes fresh fruit, water and coffee/tea ad libitum. In the Vitalbar, you can buy extra refreshments, drinks and a light meal.

132

Kystlandet.com

The health resort paths Enjoy a healing walk or run along the signposted paths in the lush park of Vejlefjord. It is open to the public – even if you are not visiting the spa.

Imagine waking up with a view of the fjord and surrounded by beech forest. Hotel Vejlefjord - also known as the castle in the woods has lovely, atmospheric rooms and suites where you can get a good night’s sleep whether you want to use the spa or not.

133

ACCOMMODATION

Sleep at the castle in the woods

Unusual accommodation Spend a night at a manor house, at a mansion, a sanatorium, a ceramics workshop or a prison and make the night an experience in itself. Here, you can still feel the presence of history - but do not worry, we have let in fresh air and the bed is new.

Jørgensens Hotel is a beautiful, completely renovated mansion from 1744 located in the middle of Horsens’ historic pedestrian street. In addition to elegant surroundings, the hotel has a wine bar, a wine shop and a restaurant. At Scandic Bygholm Park, you are also met by historical charm and romance and, if you are (un)lucky, maybe even The White Lady. Hotel Vejlefjord is a former sanato rium and today its luxurious wellness and spa department means that the buildings have a healing effect on

both body, mind and relationships. However, if authenticity is the alpha and omega for you, go to prison in SleepIn Fængslet. Sondrup B&B is so idyllic that we can barely contain ourselves. Surrounded by forest in Sondrup Hills by Horsens Fjord and the most beautiful ceramics, handmade in the workshop by the host herself, you have every opportunity to attain much-needed zen. The breakfast is organic and consumed in the orangery. What more do you want?

134

Did you know?

… that the building in which you find Jørgensens Hotel (The Lichtenberg Mansion) was built in 1744 as a residence for the successful noble merchant Gehrdt de Lichtenberg and his family. Today, Jørgensens Hotel is a modern hotel in touch with its famous history and the present as once.

Year-round holiday homes

What is more ideal for indoor comfort than a holiday home with a crackling stove? Meanwhile, the family can play a game or do those other activities, we so rarely have time for.

A holiday home is the perfect setting for your holiday in the Coastal Land, regardless of the season. Here, you’ll find homes that suit both hot summers and cold winters and which invite to relaxation, tranquillity and new experiences. The windy days of autumn provide ample opportunity to fly a kite or go for a walk in the forests and collect chestnuts for making chestnut animals.

Late summer and fall season is perfect for visiting local farm shops and orchards

Most of our holiday homes are equipped with a cosy wood-burning stove

Did you know?

…that you can find any kind of outdoor activity in the Coastal Land? The beautiful Danish nature is best experienced on foot or on a bike. Find the perfect trail for your family at page 78 and 80.

137

Staying in a holiday home during springtime is also perfect! As the weather slowly gets warmer, you’ll experience the bustle of tourists and activity slowly rising. Dip your toes in the warming ocean, or maybe put on a sweater and eat the first ice-cream of the season. The Coastal Land offers many fun and exciting activities year-round – which turn into great memories that’ll last a long time. For example, go on a rewarding treasure hunt in Odder, on the island of Tunø, or in Juelsminde. It’s fun, challenging, (and free), for both kids and adults. Find out more on page 18.

ACCOMMODATION

In the winter, you can visit cosy Christmas markets and small galleries before returning to your holiday home, the blanket, and the crackle of the wood-burning stove. Also, winter bathing is more popular than ever. Do you dare experience the cold shock? Many holiday homes are located so close to the beach that you can quickly run back and get warm again.

Ready – steady – camping!

With nature as your next-door neighbour and nothing but the sky above, camping gives you a feeling of freedom. And community. Caravan sites offer the perfect surroundings for families and people with a taste for cosy gatherings.

Did you know?

…that most of our caravan sites offer glamping? We love it! The hedonistic holiday trend for those who want to relax in nature without getting their hands dirty.

Hjarnø

However, when staying inland, you do not have to miss out on water – here, you can choose between lakes or the river Gudenå as the backdrop. And where there is no blue, there is green. All in all, the optimum conditions for slowing down completely in meditative nature or getting up your heart rate in the soft hilly landscape. Ajstrup Beach

Is your tent full of holes?

Kysing Beach

And do you have no caravan? No problem. At almost all caravan sites in the Coastal Land, you can spend the night in a cosy wooden cabin.

139

The local caravan sites in the area are equipped with family-friendly facilities which means that the youngest members of the family do not get bored while on holiday. Playgrounds, games rooms, ball courts, ice cream kiosks and miniature golf are just some of the things on offer at the sites. And the beaches and the surrounding nature make up one big playground in themselves. Caravan sites are popular and fill up quickly, so hurry up and book for your next holiday. Find a list of all of them at pages 152-153.

ACCOMMODATION

The Coastal Land has a wide belt of lovely beaches, each with its own beautiful caravan site. If you cannot get enough of the sea, you can even camp on an island.
