Experiences around Horsens Fjord

Horsens Fjord offers a varied landscape, and here we have compiled some of the most beautiful forests and natural areas you can experience on the trip.

If you stay on land, we guide you to some of the best vantage points, where you get a stunning view over one of Denmark’s most beautiful fjords, Horsens Fjord.

At Horsens Fjord, you can take a dip and spend a pleasant day at the local beaches in and around Horsens, along the north side of the fjord at Sondrup or on Hjarnø and the harbour town of Snaptun on the south side of the fjord.

In the middle of Horsens Fjord is the small, idyllic island of Alrø, which is packed with real Morten Korch atmosphere, beautiful nature and the most delicious dining experiences. For example, sink your teeth into a real bison burger or what about the country’s biggest giant tartlets?

Although Hjarnø is only 500 metres from the mainland, you can feel the island atmosphere. As soon as you arrive at the little ferry quay, time stands still and the history is lurking just below the surface.

As a blue oasis in a green landscape, Snaptun is beautifully situated next to Horsens Fjord. Here it is buzzing every day with sailors, ferry guests and nature lovers who use the harbour as a cosy pit stop or a reason-to-go in itself. 

Are you up for island hopping in Horsens Fjord? Start the cycle trip in Horsens and cycle north around the fjord out to Alrø and across Hjarnø. Along the way, you will even get out sailing on the charming little bicycle ferry.
