Horsens Fjord, Protected fjord and Ramsar wetland in Central Denmark
The fjord extends 20 kilometers from Horsens Harbor to Gyllingnæs, featuring meandering coastlines and two notable islands: Alrø and Hjarnø.
The area contains archaeological evidence of maritime activities dating back to prehistoric times, including Viking Age shipwrecks near Alrø island.
Maritime traditions shape local communities around Horsens Fjord, where fishing practices and seafaring skills pass through generations of inhabitants.
Visitors can explore the fjord through the Fjordmino hiking trail or take bicycle ferries connecting Alrø and Hjarnø islands from March to October.
Vorsø island within the fjord remains unpopulated for over 50 years, developing into a natural reserve with established heron colonies.
