Navigation
The entrance to the lighted harbor (Fl.R and Fl.G) is unproblematic by day and night. Coming from the north, keep to the northern green sector of the light Kronborg (Oc(2)WRG.6s) until it is possible to enter the harbor with a westerly course. The traffic separation area in the northern part of the Sound, which is used very intensively by large ships, should be avoided by pleasure boats at all costs. Under land can be at times a fairly strong current (up to 3 sm / h).
Achtung: The ferries operating between Helsingør and Helsingborg do not take into account the pleasure craft. In the harbor entrance, incoming ships have right of way.... The maximum permitted speed is 2 kn.
The commercial and ferry port of Helsingborg is closed to recreational shipping in principle. Large yachts (at least 50ft length) find berthing facilities in the modernized and redesigned cultural harbor in the north of the harbor basin. The harbor office can be reached via VHF channel 16 or telephone (45) 2531 1080. The entry is allowed only with permission of the harbor office and then in the time from quarter before to quarter after every hour.
Berths
If not just the mammoth regatta "Round Zealand" (with often over 1,000 ships) takes place, there are many guest places here. You put your ship in a free box (width often only 2.5m), but must report to the harbormaster. The water depth is 2 - 3 m. The equipment pier (crane, bunker) may only be occupied for a short time.
Surroundings
This modern marina, which is one of the largest in Denmark, offers all kinds of services (including customs, fuel, shipyard services and sailmaking). Utilities are available directly in the harbor or in the nearby center of Helsingør.
ÅLSGÅRDE:
The dinghy and small boat jetty about 3 nm northwest of Helsingør
is not suitable for yachts to moor.
NV Land Guide
As the starting point of the world's largest regatta, Helsingør is known above all to sailors. On up to 2,000 boats, 10,000 sailors fight to be the first to arrive back in Helsingør during the approximately three-day "Sealand Round Trip." One day before the regatta starts in mid-June, there is an absolute lack of space in the northern harbor with its 900 berths, even though it is one of the largest in the country. Therefore, Elsinore, as it is called in English, should be avoided during the mammoth regatta. Nevertheless, the harbor is worth a visit because of a number of sights - first and foremost, probably the most beautiful Renaissance castle in the north, the unmissable Kronsburg immediately south of the harbor.
The forerunner of the mighty structure on the Öresund was a castle built around 1420 by Erich of Pomerania, which soon became obsolete due to the rapid development of firearms. In 1558, the Saxon master builder Hans von Dieskau was commissioned to build bastions around the castle. And King Frederick II commissioned Hans van Paeschen in 1574 and Antonius van Opbergen in 1578 to rebuild the complex in the style of the Dutch Renaissance. For only a few years, the castle was one of the most magnificent buildings of the 16th century, before a major fire largely destroyed the Kronsburg in 1629. Although Christian IV had the castle rebuilt immediately, it served as barracks for many years and was therefore soon in need of renovation. In 1924, it was thoroughly renovated.
Right next to the Kronsburg is the new, extremely impressive Danish Maritime Museum. It documents the history of shipbuilding and maritime trade. It also explains where Frederick II took the immense funds to finance the construction: from the Sund customs duty. Every ship that passed through the Sound had to take off its flag and clear in Helsingør. Erich of Pomerania had already introduced this duty, which remained a nuisance for shipowners and captains of other seafaring nations for over 400 years. Cannons on both sides of the Sound, however, left sailors no choice but to pay.
Political pressure from European nations forced the abolition of the Sound duty in 1857. With military pressure, the Swedes had already abolished customs duties in 1658. In the Peace of Roskilde, the Danish province of Skåne fell to the Swedes, making Helsingør a border town in one fell swoop. Sweden was now a Sundan riparian itself.
One of the most impressive rooms in the castle is the 63-meter-long Knights' Hall. Below the ramparts in the casemates, the Viking chieftain Holger Danske, a statue of powerful, dark stature, waits to save the Danes. According to legend, however, he awakens only when the country is in the greatest danger. On the walkable bastions in front of the castle, Shakespeare lets the spirit of the Danish king pass the guards in his drama "Hamlet."
Worth seeing are, among other things, the furnishings of the King's Chamber and the Renaissance inventory in the castle church. Under the inner fortress walls are still the original crew casemates. A walk on and under the bastions is especially recommended in the evening sun, when isolated rays of sunlight bathe the corridors under the walls in yellow light in some places.
Helsingør has much more to offer than the castle. So you should not leave again without having been in Axeltorv (one kilometer southwest of the North Harbour). The large market square actually still fulfills the traditional function of a meeting place for young and old.
Southern flair arises when people enjoy the square in the middle of the city of 45,000 inhabitants on beautiful summer days. During the summer months, there is a market on Wednesdays and Sundays and a large flea market on Fridays.
Sights near the market square include Helsingør's well-preserved medieval town center, the town museum in the Carmelite House, the town hall and the churches of St. Olai and St. Mary. The glass mosaics in the town hall depict motifs from the town's history, in which Queen Margarethe I played a crucial role by uniting the three Nordic kingdoms in the Kalmar Union. The city benefited from its central location in this union. In addition, the queen brought in her great-nephew Erich of Pomerania (1412-1439) as heir to the throne, whose customs policy brought the city tremendous economic development.
The city museum in the old monastery buildings (600 meters south of the northern harbor), which is open daily, has an extensive collection of historic handicraft tools, and St. Mary's Church impresses with its magnificent furnishings and the magnificent organ on which the world-famous Baroque composer Dietrich Buxtehude played between 1660 and 1668. The musician's house can be visited at St. Annagade 6. Also in the Annagade (21) is a club pub worth seeing with a beautiful courtyard for wandering journeymen craftsmen.
Particularly in the Strandgade and the Stengade (pedestrian streets east of the market) there are a number of beautiful old houses to see. The pharmacy in Strandgade 77 dates from 1577, and the magistrate's court in Strandgade 74 dates from around 1530.
The Marienlyst Castle, which serves as a museum, stands 700 meters west of the North Harbour. It was originally built in 1587 as a royal garden house. Among the exhibition topics is the Sundzoll. The rooms of the castle are also used for temporary art exhibitions. Marienlyst Park features the Hamlet Memorial Tomb, a granite sarcophagus created by sculptor Utzon Frank in 1926. A must-see is the Maritime Museum, opened in 2013 at Ny Kronborgvej 1, right next to Kulturværftet. Set up in an old dry dock, a ramp leads to the underground museum rooms where Danish shipping history can be experienced.
One kilometer southwest of Marienlyst Castle, the Technical Museum displays means of transportation of bygone times, including Ellehammer's airplane from 1906 and the Danish car "Hammelvognen" from 1886. Old railroads, streetcars and buses can be seen as well as technical equipment from the beginnings of science and industry.
In the ferry and commercial port there is a lot of activity. Kronborgvej, south of the castle, and Færgevej are busy in the high season, as cars jam with passengers who want to cross to the Swedish side of the Öresund (25-minute drive). There is not much of this in the northern harbor, although its size means that it cannot be described as a quiet marina.
The dinghy and small boat jetty in Åalsgårde, three nautical miles northwest of Helsingør, is not suitable for keelboats. The outstanding sight here is Hammermølle, an old watermill two kilometers southwest of the jetty.
