Juelsminde

Denmark’s cosiest harbour town

While the boats rock gently in the water, the quay is full of life and the happy atmosphere of 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 attractive restaurants with freshfrom-the-sea fish dishes, 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, two miniature golf courses and several playgrounds. The large Juelsminde Nature Playpark is 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 head into the backyard of the town, Tofteskoven, either on foot or mountain bike.
