- Book ahead for weekend dinners and holiday periods, as the restaurant and function rooms are often busy with events and group menus.
- Ask for a table by the window or on the terrace to make the most of the Mariager Fjord views, especially around sunset on clear evenings.
- If staying overnight, request a quieter room away from the main road and function spaces, particularly when events are scheduled.
- Bring a light jacket even in summer; the terrace can feel cool when the wind comes in across the fjord during the evening.
- Combine your meal with a short stroll along the waterfront before or after dining to appreciate the shifting colors over Mariager Fjord.

Discover more about Færgekroen Hadsund
Fjordside inn at the edge of Hadsund
Færgekroen Hadsund sits at the waterfront on Færgevej, just outside the town center, where the road meets the Mariager Fjord. From the outside it looks very much like a traditional Danish kro, low and elongated, with views that open straight out to the still water and the opposite shore. The setting feels semi-rural yet convenient, with the hum of local traffic behind and the calm of the fjord directly in front. Inside, the mood is casual and unpretentious. Light streams in through large windows, and many tables are angled toward the water so that the fjord is never far from sight. In good weather the terrace becomes the star of the show, with parasols, fresh air and the gentle sound of boats moving along the fjord creating a relaxed maritime backdrop to meals and drinks.Classic kromad meets Nordic inspiration
The kitchen at Færgekroen focuses on a mix of classic kromad and more contemporary Nordic-style dishes. Expect familiar Danish favorites such as pan-fried fish from local waters, hearty meat dishes with rich sauces, and seasonal vegetables prepared simply. Portions are generous, in keeping with the kro tradition of solid, satisfying food designed to fuel travelers and locals alike. Alongside the traditional dishes, the menu often includes lighter options and more refined plates that nod to modern Danish gastronomy. A carefully chosen wine list, featuring handpicked bottles suited to both fish and meat, adds a more gourmet dimension. Whether you choose a multi-course menu for a special occasion or a single main course for lunch, the emphasis is on well-prepared, flavorful food rather than formality.Staying overnight above the restaurant
Færgekroen also operates as a small hotel, with simple, functional rooms located above and behind the restaurant. The accommodation is in the three-star range, focusing on comfortable beds, private bathrooms and the essentials needed for a short stay rather than luxury frills. Some rooms look toward the fjord, others toward the surrounding landscape and road. Breakfast is typically served in one of the bright dining rooms, again with views toward the water where possible. Expect a straightforward continental-style spread with bread, toppings, coffee and tea, enough to set you up for a day exploring the fjord, nearby forests, or small North Jutland towns. The overall feel is more country inn than city hotel, and suits guests who value atmosphere and location over design details.Events, gatherings and local celebrations
With its combination of restaurant, bar and overnight rooms, Færgekroen is a popular venue for small celebrations. The light, airy function rooms can host gatherings such as family parties, anniversaries or smaller corporate events, all with fjord views as a scenic backdrop. The kitchen is used to serving set menus for groups, often built around seasonal ingredients and matched with wines. Because of this event focus, some evenings will feel lively and festive, with music and conversation spilling out toward the terrace and parking area. On quieter days, the kro is more about lingering over coffee while watching the shifting light on the fjord. Either way, the building and its surroundings are used actively by the local community, giving the place a lived-in, authentic character.Gateway to Mariager Fjord landscapes
Beyond the building itself, Færgekroen works as a gateway to the landscapes of Mariager Fjord. Walking just a short distance away you quickly reach viewpoints where the water, low hills and patches of forest come together in classic Jutland scenery. Cyclists and drivers often use the kro as a stop on longer routes along the fjord, combining a meal with a pause from the road. In summer, long evenings make it tempting to stay outside on the terrace until the last light fades behind the hills. In colder seasons, the appeal shifts indoors, with the contrast between a warm dining room and grey, wind-stirred water outside the windows. Across the year, the constant is the sense of being right at the meeting point between travel route and waterside calm.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
