Recreational fishing | Fishing experiences in Horsens

Catch an authentic nature experience

Horsens has one of Denmark’s most beautiful fjords with a twisted coastline, islands and entirely ideal conditions for recreational fishing.

Several creeks flow into the fjord where you can fish. Gudenåen also traverses the area, where many fishermen enjoy fishing in quiet nature.

Gudenåen is connected to several large lakes and a large stock of freshwater fish.

In other words, there are very diverse fishing experiences to be had in the beautiful nature of the city’s backyard.

Glæden ved at fiske

At få frisk luft i kinderne. Dufte naturen. Mærke freden, roen, lytte til vandets skulpen. Følge fiskene som svømmer rundt. Hilse på isfuglen, svanen og de andre fugle. Nyde træer, buske og blomster. Så bliver det ikke ret meget bedre. Sundt og livgivende for krop og sjæl.

Vi har alle behov for, også børnefamilierne, at komme ud i virkeligheden for at samle på oplevelser – og hvorfor ikke vælge den unikke og autentiske danske natur?
