Højslev suits families and groups who want a house with a fireplace near Skive and its fjord. Viborg is about half an hour away by car. It is rural, so a car is essential, and few homes have a pool.
Højslev proper is a village of around 200 people with a church, and its larger neighbour Højslev Stationsby, about 4 km south, is a railway town on the Langå to Struer line and an eastern suburb of Skive. The homes here are spread over about 4 km, so check where each one sits. Skive, a town of about 20,000 some 7 km west of the Stationsby, lies at the mouth of the Skive Fjord, part of the Limfjord. The Limfjord is a shallow stretch of sea, not a surf coast, so days are for walking, cycling and museums rather than sand. Most homes have a fireplace, and around a third have a sauna. In the evening, expect rural quiet.
Town of about 20,000 on the Skive Fjord, with an art museum, Spøttrup Castle and the Hjerl Hede open-air museum among its sights.
Town about 24 km south-east of Højslev Stationsby, a drive of roughly half an hour or a short train ride on line 030.
Shallow sea area about 180 km long, running from the North Sea to the Kattegat, with Mors and Fur among its islands.
The nearby Midtjylland airport at Karup no longer has a scheduled Copenhagen route, so plan on flying into another Danish airport and driving. Viborg is about 27 minutes away by road, and Højslev Stationsby has a station on the Langå to Struer line, but a car is needed for rural homes.
Fireplaces and saunas make this a house for cooler months as much as summer, when cycling and days by the fjord at Skive come into their own. Attractions around Skive can have shorter hours outside high season, so check before planning a day out.
Close to the fjord rather than the open sea. Højslev Stationsby is 7 km east of Skive, which sits at the mouth of the Skive Fjord, part of the shallow Limfjord, so expect calm water, not surf.
Around a third do, and most have a fireplace. Few have a private pool, so filter for one if you want it.
About half an hour by car. Viborg is roughly 27 minutes from Højslev by road, and trains from Højslev Stationsby also reach it.
Plenty, mostly around Skive. Its sights include the Skive Art Museum, Spøttrup Castle, now a museum with a medicinal herb garden, and Hjerl Hede, an open-air museum of country life.
Both names exist. Højslev is a village of around 200 with a church, and Højslev Stationsby, about 4 km south, is a railway town and eastern suburb of Skive.
