Ordrup: Village Character, Fjord Trail and Valley Views

Ordrup preserves parts of its historic village character. At the western end of the village, an exceptional view opens across Elverdamsdalen; in the Ordrup By district, the Fjord Trail runs along Elverdamsvej. Village character, valley views and paths through the landscape shape different aspects of a stay. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can weigh up these options: Would you mainly like to get to know the village, enjoy the views or spend your days on the Fjord Trail?

Getting around on foot and by bike

The path at Tempelkrog Nord lets pedestrians and cyclists continue to the village of Ordrup. There is a car park in Ordrup providing access to the route for a walk along the Fjord Trail by the Isefjord. From Ordrup, you can follow the Fjord Trail to the mouth of the Elverdamsåen and enjoy views of Egernæs along the way. As local parking conditions and path conditions may change, check them before setting out.

For planning your day, these routes can be distinguished by destination and mode of travel: at Tempelkrog Nord, pedestrians and cyclists can reach the village, while the walk along the Fjord Trail leads to the mouth of the Elverdamsåen and views of Egernæs. On another route, the return journey passes through Ordrup Skov to Vintre Møller. This gives you a choice of different points of interest: the village, fjord views and a stretch through the forest. Ordrup Landsby is one of the sights along the Fjord Trail section 5.

Village character, forest and landscape

Several prehistoric burial sites lie in Ordrup Skov. Rundhøj is located there beside a forest path, about 350 m from a public road, on the edge of a higher-lying moraine and on a valley slope descending towards the northeast. The preserved village character, Ordrup Landsby on the Fjord Trail and the prehistoric sites represent different historical connections in the area. The landscape also offers different perspectives: at the western end of the village, the view opens across Elverdamsdalen; at Rundhøj, the moraine edge and descending slope define the setting.
