A large, fantastic holiday home with a view of the water

Welcome inside

A new 128 m² holiday home built in 1980, with ongoing renova­tion work due to be completed by 2025, ta­ste­ful­ly decorated to a high standard using quality materials and featuring all the necessary fa­ci­li­ties. You step into the hall, which provides access to the guest toilet and two of the house’s bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom and lovely views of the fjord. From there, you enter directly into the large family room with kitchen, dining area and living room, offering panoramic views from the entire room of the fjord and the large garden, as well as a further bedroom. From the living room and con­ser­va­tory, there is direct access to the large, beautiful wooden terrace with steps leading down to the garden.

Enjoy life outdoors

Enjoy the large wooden terrace where you can open a bottle of wine, light the barbecue and relax whilst enjoying good meals. Here you can savour the tranquil­li­ty and the fantastic sunsets. Settle down with a good book, or play a game. The large garden offers plenty of space for play and fun, whilst the terrace has lovely spots for re­laxa­tion. Take a walk down to the water – or borrow the house’s electric bike with trailer (use of this is at the tenant’s own risk) – and pop down to Gershøj harbour with its eateries and beach. The fjord is ideal for stand-up pad­dle­bo­ar­ding or kayaking due to the shallow water. There is a jetty/swimming jetty about 800 metres from the house.

Enjoy the sur­ro­un­dings

The holiday home village of Gershøj is situated close to Roskilde Fjord. Here you can enjoy nature, go for a swim in the fjord and spend time with family and friends.

Take a dip in the waves at Gershøj harbour, which is very child-friendly. You can also take the Columbus ferry from Kulhuse to Sølager and explore Arresø, Denmark’s largest lake. There are several cycling and walking routes around the lake. You can set off on an adventure to Hundested, where there’s a wide selection of re­stau­rants and shops, or to Lynæs, which has a charming harbour and is a fantastic spot for ki­te­sur­fers.

Get a taste of the local area by stopping off at the many farm shops and spe­ci­a­list shops found in North Zealand. Several re­stau­rants also spe­ci­a­li­se in local and organic produce. You’ll easily find plenty of de­li­ca­cies to take back to your holiday home.

From Gershøj, you can quickly reach Jægerspris and Jægerspris Castle. In Nord­s­ko­ven near Jægerspris stand Denmark’s three oldest oak trees: Stor­ke­e­gen, Snoegen and Kongeegen. Kongeegen is estimated to be between 1,500 and 2,000 years old. This makes it the oldest oak tree in Northern Europe. During the summer months, a visit to Poulsens Ishus – founded way back in 1913 – is also well worth it. Or a walk along Skuldelev Ås – a nature ex­pe­ri­en­ce
