Large ferry, naval and commercial port on the east coast of Jutland with a marina on the southern outskirts.
NV Cruising Guide
Navigation
The approach to the fueled marina is possible day and night. Coming from the north, however, at the level of the commercial harbour, the heavy ferry traffic must be taken into account. In onshore strong winds, there is an unpleasant ground sea directly in front of the harbour entrance, which can make entry and exit impossible.
Berths
In the marina, guest boats are moored either at the south pier or, by arrangement with the harbour master, in free boxes at 1.5 - 2 m water depth.
The ferry and commercial harbour is closed to pleasure craft.
Exceptional permits for large yachts (over 20 m in length or over 2 m draft) are issued by the harbour administration (Frederikshavn Port, VHF channel 16).
Surroundings
In the marina there are good sanitary facilities and the usual services of a marina. Further supply possibilities exist in the center of Frederikshavn, 1 km away. In the fishing harbour there are good repair possibilities, also a sailmaker's shop. There are ferry connections to Gothenburg, Larvik and Læsø.
NV Land Guide
For a longer stay, the industrial and ferry town of Frederikshavn is not necessarily recommended. Those who call at the largest city north of the Limfjord usually seek it out of necessity as a starting point for the onward journey to Skagen, as there are not very many harbours on the North Jutland coast. The southern marina of the city of about 30,000 inhabitants (the commercial harbour is no longer open to yachts) has in the meantime been joined by another, Rønnerhavnen, north of Frederikshavn on the dune beach. With both ports you have to be prepared for a long way to the city.
Frederikshavn is North Jutland's most important port for ferry traffic with Norway and Sweden. This is made clear by the ship and boatyards, repair and engine workshops, ferry traffic and the large fishing fleet. Behind the harbour façade of the fishing, trading and ferry port is a modern town with a high proportion of industry. A pleasant exception is the remaining part of the old town, "Fiskerklyngen", with low fishermen's houses from the 17th and 18th centuries in the typical architectural style of the Vendsyssel countryside. Whitewashed ridges and yellow-washed facades are two characteristics of these tile-roofed buildings. The fishing quarter northwest of the commercial harbour dates from the time when the town was still called Fladstrand, had only a few hundred inhabitants and the Danish-Norwegian naval hero Tordenskjold first made his name here. With a small fleet he faced a superior Swedish force at the gates of the town in 1712, but won the battle by skilful manoeuvres on his small ship "Ormen" (Worm). Tordenskjold, whose real name was Peter Wessel, rose to the rank of admiral, was ennobled, and later established his second base in Stavern, Norway. The chain of his victories in naval battles did not break until the peace with Sweden in 1720. Again and again he returned to Frederikshavn, where he supplied his fleet with provisions.
As early as 1626 the fishing village of Fladstrand, now Frederikshavn, acquired military importance when Wallenstein's mercenaries built a redoubt here. The Danish royal family had the site turned into a fort to protect the merchant ships that sought wind shelter here behind the coastal headland during storms. The redoubt lies about one kilometre north of the trading port. Apart from it, only the commander's dwelling has been preserved from the fort. The white powder tower at the ferry harbour, built in 1686, also bears witness to the town's military past. It was part of the Fladstrand fort and was moved 270 metres on rails in a spectacular operation in 1975 so that the shipyards could be extended. The squat, massive structure is said to be the heaviest in the world to have been moved such a long distance in one piece. It now contains a museum of weapons and uniforms, some of which date from the time Tordenskjold and his fleet fought the Swedes.
Frederikshavn got its current name only after King Frederik VI elevated the village of Fladstrand to a town in 1818. Collections from this period can be seen mainly in the Bangsbo Museum, which, however, is located at a great distance from the commercial harbour on the southern outskirts of the city in the beautiful Bangsbopark.
In this case, those who moor their boat in the southern marina have a less long way to go. After just under two kilometres of walking in a south-westerly direction, you come across the large park through which the little river "Bangsbo" flows. Seafaring is one of the main themes of the museum, the showpiece of which is the Ellingå Ship, a Viking ship from the 12th century. The museum also houses the largest collection of hair ornaments in Europe. A number of exhibits also remind visitors that Frederikshavn was of strategic importance to the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War. The Bangsbo Animal Park, near the museum, is a 25-hectare open-air game preserve.
The Frederikshavn Art Museum on Parallelvej (downtown) is also worth a visit. It specialises in small-scale art, but the exhibition rooms also host changing exhibitions of a wide variety of art styles. One attraction on the western outskirts of the city is the "Jernalderkædrene", seven stone cellars dating from the end of the Celtic Iron Age. Ten kilometres southwest of the town, near the village of Gærum, you can visit one of the best-preserved barrows in Denmark. Eight metres long, the man-sized room dates from the Late Iron Age.
Also to the southwest of the city are Frederikshavn's three well-known lookout points, Closstårnet (Tower), Pikkerbakken and the Øksnebjerg. The closest is the 71-metre-high Pikkerbakken, two kilometres south of the marina. However, the most impressive view over North Jutland and the Kattegat is from the 60-metre-high Closs Tower, equipped with an elevator, from a height of 170 metres above sea level. It is located five kilometres west of the marina.
There is no need to worry about a sufficient number of discos and restaurants in Frederikshavn. Moreover, for a crew change, the city offers the great advantage of a direct rail connection to Hamburg. Ferries depart from Frederikshavn to Larvik, Moss, Oslo, Gothenburg and Læsø.
