Naturepark Randers Fjord
Randers Fjord Nature Park is one of Denmark's largest nature parks. Here, the fresh water from the Gudenå River meets the salt water of the Kattegat. The 293 square kilometre area has been designated a nature park and contains a wide range of different habitats.
Randers Fjord is almost 30 kilometres long and the estuary of Denmark's longest river, Gudenåen. The reed forests and salt marshes along the fjord, together with the fjord itself, harbour a rich bird life, and the fjord is home to a wide range of fish species. Here you'll find wonderful nature experiences, exciting cultural history and fantastic opportunities to enjoy the Danish outdoor life.
There are tables and benches, shelters and birdwatching towers in several places along Randers Fjord, which you are free to use.
Ferries across Randers Fjord
In two places in Randers Fjord Nature Park you can cross the fjord by ferry. The ferries cross the fjord at Mellerup-Voer and Udbyhøj. The Mellerup-Voer ferry crossing can boast of being both Denmark's oldest Kgl. Privileged crossing from 1740 and Denmark's smallest ferry. Out there, where Randers Fjord flows into the Kattegat, sails Denmark's only cable-drawn ferry, Udbyhøj Færgen.
