Hornbaek is just 50 km north of the Danish capital Copenhagen. It is a real treat for everyone who enjoys life at the seaside: the beach, the light, the fresh air, the scenery, the quiet of the countryside and peace of mind combined with a wide range of restaurants, a variety of shops and an inspiring cultural life.

All this attracts visitors from a large area including many day visitors from Copenhagen.

With some 6,000 residents Hornbaek is centred round the marina, the old fishing village and areas of holiday cottages. Shopping street and restaurants are within walking distance. The school, the residential home, the day-care centres and the sport centres are located within a range of about 3 km, and so are more recently built residential areas. There are many families with children in Hornbaek. Families who appreciate living in this paradise for families. There are also many holiday cottage owners who have chosen to enjoy the retirement in this paradise. The town that once was a fishing village is now home to many commuters working in the Copenhagenarea. Only a very few fishermen are still working full-time, whereas a lot of people enjoy pleasure fishing.
