  Port of Aarhus

  0.84 km

  Pleasure cruise ship visiting Port of Aarhus

  When arriving in Aarhus by pleasure cruiser, you are calling at a port which not only played a critical role in the founding of the city all the way back in the Viking Era, but has also grown into the largest container-handling port in Denmark today – by far. In fact it handles more than 50 per cent of all containers arriving in Denmark.

  In addition to being a highly active container-handling port, the Port of Aarhus is also home to some 150 private companies which, between them, employ thousands of people.

  Architecture and urban environment

  However, the harbour area in Aarhus is not only used for commercial purposes. A brand new city quarter is under construction, with modern architecture in marked contrast to the industrial harbour section. Within the next few years approximately 7,000 people will be occupying the new buildings, and some 12,000 additional jobs will be created within the Aarhus harbour area.

  The new vibrating centre of the Aarhus port area is the impressive 'Dokk1' Mediaspace, which is home to institutions such as the city's Main Library and Citizens’ Services centre.

  Isbjerget - The Iceberg on Aarhus Ø

  2.46 km

  Isbjerget - a unique architectural gem in Aarhus

  Isbjerget is designed by a combination of two Danish, one Dutch and one French design studio. The building is designed to maximise the sea views from the 208 rental apartments. The building is broken up in a criss-cross pattern, reminiscent of breaking up floating icebergs.

  Another detail of Isbjerget is that the peaks of the roofs rise and fall in peaks and valleys, creating a visual shift that also happens when you see icebergs in real life. All 208 apartments are different, while the Iceberg as a building has become a landmark for the city.

  Aarhus Ø

  Marselisborg Forests in Aarhus

  2.67 km

  Hilly area

  The ground in Marselisborg Forests is hilly with deep slopes. In some places the clay soil of the slopes has fallen down so that the trees lean towards the water.

  Well-preserved trees and nature life

  Around 1820 the forests were badly overcut. Therefore the present trees have practically all been planted after this period. However, some conifers have been planted in this century. 

  200-300 year old beech trees 

  Spread around the forests, especially in Moesgård Skov you will find a few 200-300 year old beech trees which have been preserved for aesthetic reasons. Today they are the breeding place for some species of birds brooding in caves.

  Ourdoor activities

  The Marselisborg forest is one of Denmark’s most frequently visited nature resorts and is used for an endless list of ourdoor activities such as running and cycling events. Despite the forest’s rugged terrain, it is very well-suited for hiking, just as horseback riders come in large numbers, as the forest has marked off riding trails.

  See map of running routes in Marselisborgskovene.

  Furthermore, a 25 km mountainbike trail runs through the forest, and the mix of flat grit-paths and steep hills and descends adds to the diversity along the way and makes for a great experience for everyone.
