Villas in Roslev

About Roslev

Roslev is a small town of around 1,300 people on the flat farmland of the Salling peninsula, with a 13th-century Romanesque church and a mill built in 1882 as a copy of a shingled Dutch mill. The houses are scattered around the town rather than gathered in it, so where you stay decides which stretch of shore is nearest. Glyngøre, about 12 km to the north-west, has a Blue Flag beach in the dunes with a bathing jetty, on Salling Sund, a strait of the Limfjord. Most houses here have a fireplace and sleep around six, some have a sauna and few have a private pool. Evenings are quiet and mostly self-catered, with Roslev and Glyngøre offering little beyond the essentials.

Getting to Roslev

Karup is the closest airport to Skive, and so to Roslev, with Aalborg and Billund further away. Skive is about 19 km from Roslev. Hire a car at the airport, because the houses are spread across farmland and a car is the practical way to reach beaches and shops.

When to go to Roslev

Summer is when the fjord beaches earn their keep, and the Fur ferry makes an easy outing. Dogs must be on a lead at Glyngøre beach from 1 April to 30 September, which covers most of the season. Outside the summer weeks expect quiet villages and fireside evenings in a flat, open landscape; check opening times for castles and cafés before an off-season visit.
