In the rural idyll of Alrø, tranquility reigns, and with its beautiful half-timbered houses lining the winding country road, the island bears witness to a Denmark of days gone by.
With its only 7.7 square kilometres, Alrø is a true little gem in the middle of Horsens Fjord with sea views, small farm shops and lovely places to eat all the way around.
You can walk, cycle or drive to the island via the dam from the north side of Horsens Fjord.
During the summer, you can continue across the fjord island hopping with The Bicycle Ferry (for cyclists and pedestrians) on to Hjarnø and from there reach the mainland in Snaptun.
The ferry sails from the steamship pier at the southernmost end of the island.
There is good fishing on the north side of the island, and the south side of the island offers good conditions for wind and kite surfing.
