Ordrup preserves parts of its historic village character; at the western end of the village, there is an exceptional view over Elverdamsdalen. Paths along the Fjord Trail and near Tempelkrog Nord offer different ways to explore on foot or by bicycle. You can therefore focus your visit on the village, the landscape or a particular route, depending on your interests.

Village History and Landscape

Parts of Ordrup’s historic village character have been preserved. At the western end of the village, there is an exceptional view over Elverdamsdalen. These offer two different perspectives on the area: the village character draws attention to its historic form, while the view takes in the surrounding valley. If you are interested in both, you can include them as separate highlights in your plans.

Ordrup Skov also has links to prehistory: the forest contains several prehistoric burial sites. Rundhøj in Ordrup Skov lies beside a forest path, about 350 m from a public road, on the edge of a higher-lying moraine on a valley slope descending towards the northeast. A return route leads through Ordrup Skov to Vintre Møller.

Walks and Routes

Ordrup has a car park providing access for a walk along the Fjord Trail beside the Isefjord. In the village district of Ordrup By, the Fjord Trail runs along Elverdamsvej. From Ordrup, you can follow the Fjord Trail to the mouth of the Elverdamsåen and enjoy views of Egernæs along the way. Trail conditions may change; check the current route before setting out. You should also check local parking conditions before your visit.

Near Tempelkrog Nord, a path allows pedestrians and cyclists to continue to the village of Ordrup. For planning purposes, this answers a different question from the Fjord Trail starting in Ordrup: here, the focus is on continuing to the village, while there, it is on the mouth of the Elverdamsåen and views of Egernæs.

Ordrup Landsby is one of the sights along the Fjord Trail 5 section. As well as views of the landscape, the section offers a named village destination to help visitors interested in sights along the route find their way.
