About Gørlev
Gørlev is a town of around 2,400 people in Kalundborg Municipality, on Zealand's west coast, with Musholm Bay, the Great Belt and Jammerland Bay to the west. The surrounding area has Stone Age passage graves and Bronze Age mounds, and Gørlev Church has two Viking Age runestones in its entryway. The homes are spread around the town rather than in one cluster. Bathing is at Bjerge Beach, where the seabed is sandy and even and the water deepens only gradually. In town there is Svellas Mølle, a restored windmill built in 1870, and Den Gamle Biograf, an old cinema that is now the municipality's culture centre. Evenings are quiet.

- Best for
