Bjert is a quiet small-town base about 7 km from Kolding for families, with a shallow, child-friendly beach at Bjert Strand. Most homes have a fireplace and a typical one sleeps six. Museums, shops and the fjord town all mean a drive.
Bjert is a small town about 7 km southeast of Kolding, with a church built near the end of the twelfth century and a first inn that opened in 1759. The homes sit in one tight group, so you are in a single neighbourhood and reach Kolding by car. Bjert Strand is a small beach with shallow water and a sandy and stony bottom, with a bathing jetty, a car park and a toilet. A typical home has three bedrooms and sleeps six, most have a fireplace, some have a sauna and a private pool is unlikely. It is a small place, so expect it to be quiet out of season.
Seaport at the head of Kolding Fjord, about 7 km northwest, with direct InterCity trains and the main sights.
Former royal castle in Kolding, built in the 13th century by King Eric Klipping and now a museum.
Art museum with mainly Danish work from 1900 onward and a large collection of chairs.
Botanical garden of 14 hectares with more than 2,000 kinds of plants arranged by region.
Billund Airport is about 46 km northwest of Kolding, roughly a 40 minute drive, so allow a little longer to reach Bjert. Kolding has direct InterCity trains to Copenhagen, Aarhus and Hamburg. A car is needed for the village homes.
Bjert Strand has a bathing jetty and shallow water, which points to summer for swimming. The rest of the year Kolding's indoor sights carry the trip: Koldinghus and Trapholt both work in wet weather, and most homes have a fireplace. Check museum opening days if you travel in winter, and drive into Kolding for any shopping.
