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 liveliness and closeness to the city. 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 2022! 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 brew in the summer or hot cup of chocolate in the winter. The marina is located close to the town Odder, as well as to some of the best beaches of the area.
Norsminde The cosy marina at Norsminde Fjord is the perfect destination for a trip on a warm summer's day. First and foremost 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.
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 haven 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 ports 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.
