Horsens Fjord is a Danish fjord in the east of Jutland which stretches from the islands of Alrø and Hjarnø in the east to the town of Horsens on the mainland. It is some 20 kilometres (12 mi) long. The navigational channel to Horsens has a depth of 7 metres (23 ft).[1] Like the other East Jutland "fjords", geologically it is no fjord.
The islands in the fjord are low-lying with grasslands and lagoons along their coasts.
