Winter bating spots

Where can you winter bathe?

In principle, anywhere along the approximately 300 kilometres long coastline of North Zealand. However, most people prefer a small bathing bridge or, when it's from an open beach, they prefer sand at the bottom. And if you can walk, bike, or drive right up to it, that's perfect.

Nivå

• South beach at Nivå Harbour and the Waterski Club's bridge at Nivå Harbor. The beach is wide but not very long. The harbour has an intimate environment with red wooden houses and parking spaces. Before and after winter bathing: Restaurant Trekosten.

Sletten

• Peter Madsen's beach and Bjerre Strand. Peter Madsen's beach is a wide and long beach. Possibility to park right by the beach. At Bjerre Strand, you can change under the open sheds and use the bathing bridges. Before and after winter bathing: Restaurant Sletten, Sletten harbour.
