Getting There

  • Walking

    From the heart of Horsens, the park is just a gentle 10-minute walk past the bustling café-filled streets that hug the lake’s edge. As the city’s main public green space, it emerges just beyond downtown’s cultural buildings, with the shimmering lake and open lawns drawing you in. Signage for the lakeside walks and nearby sculptures make it easy to find your way. All routes are free of charge, with paved walkways throughout.

  • Public Transport

    Local city buses run frequently between Horsens Station and the neighborhoods bordering the lake. Most services stop within a short walking distance of the park—look for regional bus shelters at downtown squares. A standard adult ticket within the city zone costs around 24 DKK. Once you alight, expect a 5-minute stroll through a business and residential area before the park’s lakeshore comes into view.

  • Taxi

    Taxis from the city centre reach the park in 3–7 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically between 60–90 DKK. Taxis can drop you off beside the southern park entrance, close to central public art installations. There is no surcharge or toll for this route.

  • Driving

    Several municipal car parks surround the immediate area, though spaces fill quickly on sunny days and during local events. Expect to pay around 10–15 DKK per hour at public lots, with free spaces further away from the lakeshore. Disabled parking spots are available close to park entrances but may be limited.

Stretching gracefully along the western shore of the inner Horsens Lake, Langelinieanlægget is more than just a park—it’s a living tapestry of the city’s outdoor culture and a window into its history. Created during the urban expansion of Horsens in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the park was envisioned as a space where townsfolk could promenade and take in the gentle Danish landscape. Today, it maintains that legacy, offering manicured flowerbeds, elegant tree-lined paths, and broad lawns perfect for picnics and play. Visitors are drawn to the park’s striking sculptures and memorials interspersed among flowering shrubs, each telling a silent story of Horsens’ civic pride and historical figures. The northern end of the park features beautiful lakefront views, where reeds sway gently in the wind and swans glide idly by. Benches throughout the grounds provide restful vantage points, while a paved promenade invites slow walks, cycling, or winter jogs shaded by mature beech and birch trees. Langelinieanlægget is a year-round destination: in spring, cherry and magnolia blossoms create a pastel canopy; summer brings lively gatherings and open-air concerts; autumn sees the foliage turn to gold, and winter transforms the landscape into a tranquil snowscape. The park is popular with families for its playgrounds, as well as with joggers, dog walkers, and anyone seeking a peaceful moment by the water. Despite its central location, the space feels refreshingly open, with plenty of secluded corners that give a sense of privacy and calm. There is no admission fee, and visitors are welcome at all hours, reflecting the Danish tradition of public green spaces freely accessible to all. The park’s location makes it a prime spot to start or finish a lakeside walk, or simply to relax with a coffee and watch the world go by. For anyone wanting to experience the outdoor heartbeat of Horsens, Langelinieanlægget is an essential stop.
