About Ørsted
Ørsted is a town of around 1,300 people in the north-west of the Djursland peninsula, about 6 km east of Randers Fjord. It has a church but no seafront, and the nearest water is the fjord, where the Gudenå, Denmark's largest river, meets the Kattegat and reed beds are still cut for thatching. The homes sit in a tight cluster, mostly for around six people, and the largest is big enough for a family gathering. Nearly all have a fireplace, and the listings record no private pool or garden. Djursland's north coast has long shallow sand beaches that suit children, but reaching them means driving. Aarhus is about 47 minutes away by car.
Is Ørsted right for you?
- Best for
- Fireplace homes and fjord days, with a car for the coast
- Not for you if
- You want to walk to the sea or a pool, as neither is on offer here.
