Local tips

Build time into your stay to walk at least part of the 2 km stretch towards the tip of the peninsula, where the fjord views open dramatically to both east and west.
Pack suitable footwear and a windproof layer – paths combine sand, grass and forest tracks, and the exposed spit can feel breezy even on sunny days.
If you are attending a course or meeting, ask in advance about arranging simple team activities such as paddleboarding, beach games or guided walks on the private peninsula.
Swimmers and paddleboarders should stay aware of boat traffic in the narrow fairway between Borre Knob and Alrø and keep close to shore when visibility is reduced.
In spring and early summer, bring binoculars for birdwatching along the shoreline and near Lillestrand lake, but respect nesting areas and signed restrictions.

Getting There

Car from Horsens

From Horsens town centre, driving to Borre Knob typically takes 25–35 minutes, depending on traffic. The route runs via regional roads through small villages and is straightforward in normal conditions. There is free on-site parking at the fjordhotel, but spaces closest to the entrance can fill when large conferences or weddings are held. No road tolls apply, and fuel is the main cost for this option.
Car from Vejle

If you are coming from Vejle, allow around 35–45 minutes by car to reach the fjordhotel. The drive combines faster main roads with narrower local stretches near Juelsminde. Parking at Borre Knob is free of charge and suitable for standard vehicles; larger coaches used for group events usually set down guests near the entrance before moving to designated parking areas. In winter, check weather reports, as strong winds along the fjord can occasionally make driving conditions more exposed.
Bus and taxi via Juelsminde

Public transport is possible by taking a regional bus to Juelsminde from Horsens or Vejle, a journey of roughly 40–60 minutes depending on the timetable and route. From Juelsminde, the final leg to Borre Knob is a short taxi ride of about 10–15 minutes. Combined, you should expect total travel time of around 1–1.5 hours. Bus tickets generally cost in the range of 30–70 DKK one way, while the taxi portion may add approximately 100–200 DKK, depending on time of day and waiting time.
Bicycle from Juelsminde

For an active arrival, you can cycle from Juelsminde to Borre Knob in around 20–30 minutes, following minor country roads through gently rolling farmland. The terrain is mostly easy, but there are short inclines and the route is more demanding in strong wind or rain. This option is best in daylight and fair weather, as some stretches are unlit. The hotel usually has places to park and lock bicycles, and in the summer season it may offer bikes for guests to use on local rides.

Fjordside retreat on a private peninsula

Borre Knob Fjordhotel occupies a uniquely narrow peninsula that stretches around two kilometres into Horsens Fjord, so wherever you are on the property the water never feels far away. The hotel and conference buildings sit close to the base of the spit, surrounded by lawns, hedges and low trees that quickly give way to open beach and low dunes. Inside, the atmosphere is deliberately homely rather than grand, with simple Scandinavian furnishings and big windows that pull in the soft coastal light. Because the peninsula is so slender, you are constantly aware of the fjord on both sides. To the east the water opens towards the islands of Hjarnø and Alrø; to the west you look back towards Horsens at the end of the fjord. Step outside the main buildings and in a few moments you are on sand or grass with uninterrupted views in almost every direction.

Conferences, courses and team retreats

The core of Borre Knob is a modern conference center designed for meetings, training courses and company gatherings. Flexible meeting rooms of various sizes can be combined or separated, with standard audiovisual equipment, daylight and views towards the water helping long workdays feel less confined. Breakout spaces and lounges are scattered around the main building, so groups can shift easily between plenary sessions and smaller discussions. The grounds lend themselves naturally to team-building: there is space for outdoor exercises on the lawns, easy access to the beach for more playful activities, and partners can arrange everything from mental fitness workshops to water-based games. After focused sessions indoors, participants can walk straight out to the jetty, follow a path into the shelter of the trees or simply sit on a bench watching the light move across the fjord.

Seaside stays and celebrations

Alongside its corporate functions, Borre Knob also works as a laid-back fjord hotel and a venue for private celebrations. Guest rooms are typically simple and bright, prioritising comfort, good beds and a calm colour palette rather than decorative excess. Many look out over lawns and water, and you can usually step outside directly into the coastal landscape for an early-morning stroll. The event spaces are frequently used for weddings, confirmations and milestone birthdays, with the water and open sky providing a ready-made backdrop for photos. Depending on the specific arrangement, catering usually focuses on seasonal Nordic-style dishes, taking advantage of fresh ingredients. Between meals, guests can drift between the terrace, bar area, garden corners and the beach, never far from the sound of gentle waves.

Nature, shoreline and gentle exploration

The peninsula itself is a significant part of the experience. A sandy beach runs almost uninterrupted along both coasts for around 4.5 kilometres, with shallow, often calm water that is inviting for a summer swim and suitable for less confident bathers. The interior of the spit offers small patches of woodland, low dunes and swathes of hardy rose bushes, changing subtly as you walk towards the tip. Paths weave along both shores and through the trees, making it easy to improvise short walks before breakfast or longer circuits later in the day. Birdlife is rich, particularly along the water’s edge and near the lake Lillestrand at the base of the peninsula. On a still day the fjord can feel almost lake-like; on windier days you sense more movement, but the low profile of the land means the sky always dominates.

Water activities and views across Horsens Fjord

For active guests, Borre Knob is well placed for gentle water sports. The shallow fjord and easy beach access suit paddleboarding and sea kayaking, with plenty of sheltered stretches for beginners. Anglers can cast from the shore where conditions permit, and in summer the small bathing jetty is a natural focal point for quick dips between sessions or before dinner. As you walk further towards the tip of the peninsula beyond the hotel’s immediate grounds, the land narrows and the feeling of being surrounded by water intensifies. Looking east, you can pick out Hjarnø and Alrø, often with the small Hjarnø ferry shuttling across the sound. Turn back west and the view lines up towards Horsens. Boats, kayaks and the occasional yacht drift past, providing a constant, quiet reminder that you are standing in the middle of an active yet peaceful Danish fjord landscape.
