The idylic village of Lynæs | VisitNordsjælland

Lynæs is located in the shelter (’ly’ in Danish) of the high cliffs along with the ’nose’ (næs’ in Danish) at the entrance to Isefjord, just south of Hundested. The idyllic fishing village is one of Denmark’s oldest, and today sailors from Isefjord, Roskilde Fjord and Kattegat flock to the quaint marina, the heart of the city, and fill the harbour with life throughout the summer season.

And did you know that the famous Lynæs dinghy also comes from this area?

Restaurants

During the summer season, there are many activities and musical offerings at the pier, and if you fancy lunch or a bite to eat, the harbour is also home to eateries and an ice cream parlour. In Lynæs, there’s every reason to drop by and soak up the good atmosphere. In addition to a restaurant, Lynæs Fisk & Steakhouse also has an excellent fish shop.

On Saturday, fresh fish are sold at Isefjord Fisk, which has an outlet in the harbour. Here the fish are so fresh that they go directly from the boat to the fish shop counter.
