Gorgeous view from modern apartment near Aarhus, Denmark
Summer 2025 booked. Open for week 42 and suggestions for other shorter exchanges <
Our home is a 120m2 modern apartment on 3rd floor of a 6 story building - high enough to give a magnificent view of the town of Skanderborg and its beautiful lake and woods behind it. The view can be enjoyed through the panorama windows in the main living room, or from one of the two large balconies facing east and south.
As part of the main living room, there is a nice kitchen with all the appliances you need for cooking and baking. The whole family can easily be together when cooking, either on one side or the other, of the broad kitchen counter.
The living room also has an electric piano and a guitar, if you are into that.
There is a regular bedroom with a 180cm double bed, a teenage room with a single bed (and a magnificent view as well) and an office with a sleeping couch 120cm wide - for one or two persons.
A spacious bathroom with toilet, douche, and washing-machine + dryer.
There is an elevator, or you can take the stairs.
It takes at most 10 minutes to walk to the train station, from where you can:
- Get to/from Aarhus (2nd largest city in DK) in 15 minutes
- Get to/from Copenhagen center in less than 3 hours
- Get to/from Copenhagen airport (CPH) in less than 3 hours
- Get to/from Billund airport (BLL) by bus in about an hour.
The freeway E45 is 5 minutes away.
A perfect base for exploring Denmark either by train or by car - or just to enjoy!

Our Neighbourhood

Nearest Airport: Billund -
-
Small harbor and restaurant (0.6 km)
-
3 good supermarkets (1.3 km)
-
Very nice golf course (4.1 km)
The immediate neighborhood is quiet and children-friendly, with playgrounds just outside. Reserved parking space for one car just outside. 8 pcs 11KW chargers for EV's in the parking lot.
Skanderborg is a cozy town, mostly known for its festival in the beginning of august with 50.000 people gathering in the beech woods south of town. The rest of the year it is more quiet, with a shopping street with good stores and a shopping centre. Beautiful, due to the lake that the town is built around.
We live a 20 min drive from Århus, the 2nd biggest city in Denmark, and approx. 3 hours drive from Copenhagen. The apartment is within 10 min walking distance from the train station, from where it takes only 15 mins to get to the heart of Aarhus, and less than 3 hours to Copenhagen. There are direct trains to/from Copenhagen (CPH) airport. Billund (BLL) airport can also be reached by bus from the station.
The surroundings are particularly beautiful with many hills and lakes all around - have a look at google maps to get an impression.
Within a good hours drive you can reach numerous amusement parks, including Legoland.
