Swim in Roskilde Fjord in central Frederikssund

Bring your swimwear on a day trip to Frederikssund and add a swim to your visit. Frederikssund Harbour Bath, known locally as Kultur- og Havnebad, is centrally located by the fjord. Admission to the swimming basin is free throughout the year.

Enjoy a swim in the fjord and time in town on the same trip. On a warm day, the harbour bath is an ideal stop for a swimming break. In the cooler months, it offers the chance for a quick dip if you are used to swimming in cold water. Bring a towel and dry clothes so you can continue exploring the town afterwards.

Combine your swim with a day in Frederikssund

The harbour bath’s central location makes it easy to include a swim in your visit to Frederikssund. Take a walk along the harbour, find somewhere for lunch, or pause by the fjord between the day’s other activities. You do not need to plan your whole day around swimming: the harbour bath can simply be a stop on a longer walk or bike ride.
