Autumn holiday in Fjordlandet – Discover Roskilde, Lejre & Frederikssund
When autumn lays its golden blanket over Fjordlandet, you can discover Roskilde, Lejre, and Frederikssund in new colours. Here you’ll find the perfect combination of culture and history, fresh air in colourful nature, and plenty of cosy activities by the fjord – whether you dream of exploring the Viking heritage, hiking through forests and along the water, or finding indoor comfort.
Experience autumn in Roskilde
Autumn suits Roskilde well. You can step into history at the impressive Roskilde Cathedral – a UNESCO World Heritage site where Danish kings and queens are buried – or bring the children to the Viking Ship Museum, where original Viking ships bring the past to life. When you need fresh air, a walk along Roskilde Fjord is ideal. Here, the tranquillity of nature meets the town’s lively atmosphere, and the views shift with autumn’s golden shades.
Lejre – history and nature
In Lejre you can travel back in time. At the Land of Legends (Sagnlandet Lejre), the world of prehistory and the Vikings is recreated – an experience for both children and adults. Afterwards, lace up your hiking boots and follow the trails through the autumn landscape of fields, forests, and wide open spaces, perfect for walking or cycling tours.
Autumn holidays for the whole family in Frederikssund
Frederikssund lies directly on the fjord and offers a wide range of activities for the whole family. Visit Frederikssund Museum and its historic surroundings, explore the local museums, or enjoy an active day outdoors. Younger children can look forward to short, cosy walks, while older children can find more speed and challenges on longer routes. Autumn makes these experiences especially atmospheric, with golden leaves and clear, crisp days.
Autumn nature
Fjordlandet is made for outdoor autumn adventures. Go chestnut hunting in the woods, follow marked trails along the fjord, or simply enjoy the calm that settles over the landscape at this time of year. You can also find practical information for planning your walk in the forest or along Roskilde Fjord.
Indoor cosiness when the weather turns
If the rain sets in, Fjordlandet offers plenty of cosy alternatives. Visit the museums and immerse yourself in fascinating stories – there are plenty of experiences waiting, even on rainy days.
