Rent a holiday home in Mariager Fjord for a relaxing break
Long celebrated for its landscape, Denmark's largest fjord, Mariager Fjord, weaves its way between flat marshy areas and high sloping hillsides past the old town of Hadsund and on to Mariager and then to the fishing villages of Stinesminde, Bramslev Bakker and Rold Skov before ending at the home of the Vikings at Hobro. This scenic passage past picturesque towns offers holidaymakers a lovely choice of holiday rentals, holiday houses and holiday apartments set amidst a dramatic landscape in locations such as Helberskov, Als Odde or Ajstrup.
Cultural highlights of a holiday home in Mariager Fjord
One of Denmark’s smallest merchant towns, Mariager was an obscure fishing village until 1410, after which trade blossomed. Located by the harbour, Mariager's biggest attraction is the Salt Centre where visitors can experience the subterranean salt mine or take a swim in “The Dead Sea". The paddle steamer Svanen offers cruises along the fjord and just across from the Mariagerfjord Golf Club, the Aa Mølle watermill offers dramatic views of the surrounding area. The summer is great time to enjoy a trip on the Mariager-Handest Vintage Railway. Hadsund, the birthplace of author Hans Kirk, is known for its local museum which occupies an old water mill in a peaceful natural setting and has its own animal park. Hobro has an organic indoor market where farmers graciously allow visitors to sample local produce. Restaurants in all of the towns and villages around Mariager Fjord serve traditional Danish cuisine and the locally caught trout is a speciality.
Outdoor pursuits in the Danish countryside
The trout to be found in Mariager Fjord are the reason this areais known as a paradise for anglers and if you book a holiday home or holiday rental in the area you can rent a boat and enjoy a family fishing excursion. Kattegat Beach on the east coast is ideal for kite surfing, wind surfing, water skiing, sailing and swimming while Østerskoven Forest, with its centuries-old oak trees, offers an extensive network of well signposted trails for hikers and cyclists.
