The water sports facility has two different lanes that you can use with wakeboards or waterskis. Those looking for something less action-packed can rent a SUP board or use the sauna. Reservations are recommended.

Worth a visit at any time of year. Walk around and discover the many different animals that live here. With luck, you might even spot newts.

Closest to the harbor entrance, just behind the green lighthouse, is the AARhus. A very impressive residential building in the newly designed harbor of Aarhus.
