The Lakeside Gem of Horsens: Langelinieanlægget
Langelinieanlægget: a tranquil lakeside park in Horsens offering picturesque walks, vibrant gardens, playgrounds, and local culture in a lush urban oasis.
Langelinieanlægget is Horsens’ scenic urban park and lakeside refuge, beloved for its tranquil walking paths, lush lawns, waterside views, and year-round horticultural displays. Situated along the gentle curve of the inner city’s lakefront, the park blends peaceful Danish landscape design with energized recreational spaces, making it a favorite spot for families, runners, and picnickers. Its roots trace to Horsens’ 19th-century expansion, and today, it remains a verdant centerpiece connecting city, culture, and nature.
A brief summary to Mågebroen
- Østre Kirkevej 2, Horsens, 8700, DK
Local tips
- Early mornings offer the most peaceful lake views and fewer crowds—ideal for photography or a quiet stroll.
- Bring snacks or a picnic; while there are seasonal kiosks, food stalls aren’t always open, especially off-season.
- Check local event calendars—free concerts and festivals are often held here during summer weekends.

- Look for local art installations and historic plaques scattered throughout for a glimpse into Horsens’ cultural heritage.
Getting There
-
Walking
From Horsens’ vibrant city center, Langelinieanlægget is an easy stroll—simply make your way from the bustling main shopping avenues toward the lakeside. The park’s leafy edges and open lawns soon become visible as you move away from central squares, with church spires and café terraces behind you. Most visitors find themselves at the park entrance within 5–10 minutes on foot, with paved paths suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.
-
Public Transport
City buses regularly run from major downtown stops to areas bordering the park’s grounds. The journey takes under 10 minutes, and a standard one-way ticket for adults is typically 22–24 DKK. Alight at stops near the lake, from which the park is easily found by following the sound of water and gathering of locals.
-
Taxi
A taxi from central Horsens to Langelinieanlægget is quick—usually under 5 minutes in light traffic. The fare for this short trip falls between 55 and 80 DKK, depending on time of day and pick-up point. Taxis can drop you close to the main entrances.
-
Driving
If arriving by car, municipal parking areas are available by the lake and near park entrances. Expect moderate competition for spaces during weekends or event days—parking fees typically range from 8 to 16 DKK per hour. There are no toll roads for this approach.
