Haderslev Fjord

The 15-kilometer narrow fjord extends from the Little Belt into eastern Sønderjylland, featuring a dredged channel that reaches depths of 5 meters.

The waterway has served as a vital maritime route since ancient times, connecting the inland settlement of Haderslev to the Baltic Sea trading networks.

Local fishermen maintain traditional practices along the fjord's waters, while the harbor transforms from commercial activities toward residential and recreational purposes.

The sightseeing boat Helene operates regular tours between Haderslev city and Årø during summer months, offering views of the coastal landscape.

Scientists are implementing new environmental initiatives to eliminate deoxygenation in the fjord while maintaining agricultural productivity in the surrounding areas.
