Aarøsund Ferry Terminal

Highlight • Rest Area

Perhaps Denmark's fastest ferry ride, 8 minutes from the mainland and you're in Aarø harbor.
Would you like to take a trip to the pearl of the Little Belt, Aarø? Then the Aarø ferry will take you over to the island. The ferry follows a timetable and runs daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., outside of this time there is an emergency standby for acute cases, such as B. Illness.


The ferry has space for 12 cars and 98 passengers. Reservations are not possible and as a rule you will be transferred in the order in which you arrive at the ferry.

There may be a shift in departure times in connection with additional trips that can be carried out if more cars or passengers are available for a departure than can be taken.
You can buy tickets either at the ticket machine in the entrance hall of the waiting room (credit card) or directly at the dock (cash) when you get on board in Aarøsund. The tickets are valid for the return journey.

Årø Harbor

Highlight • Rest Area

The Aarø ferry operates between the island of Aarø and Årøsund on the mainland.

Today's ferry was deployed on the route on May 1, 1999. The ferry can accommodate 12 cars and 98 passengers.

The ferry runs daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The crossing takes 8 minutes. It is not possible to reserve a seat, but board the ferry on a first-come, first-served basis.

Before 1965 there was no car ferry to Aarø. There was only one boat for transporting people. Larger items were shipped in barges. From 1931 to 1965 a cargo ship sailed to Haderslev on Mondays and Fridays. It also went to Assens once a week. Before that time, crossings took place in rowing boats, where a transfer cost a day's wages.

Årø Vingård

Highlight • Restaurant

Small winery on the island. Delicious wines - the rosé is recommended - and lovingly prepared dishes in a hygge atmosphere. You can also buy wine and small items of furniture on site. Nice personel.

In 1905 they received their own small church, which, however, remained an annex to Oesby. It is a Protestant church community.

With the small ferry, we quickly went to the mini island with bicycles and the dog Tilda in the trailer. It was not a problem that the ticket machine did not accept the EC card and had then acknowledged its service - card payment on the ferry was possible without any problems. The tour of the island took us past …
