About This Spring

## Overview Tucked away in the small village of Tjærby, just outside Randers in the Jylland (Jutland) region of Denmark, this modest natural spring offers a quiet spot to experience raw, unfiltered water straight from the Danish earth. While it may not be a major tourist destination, the spring holds the simple charm of a traditional public drinking spring — the kind that has served rural Danish communities for generations. The spring is situated near Tjærbyvej in the 8930 Randers NØ postal area. Denmark's Jutland peninsula is known for its glacially shaped landscape, and many of its natural springs emerge where underground aquifers meet the surface through layers of sandy moraine deposits left behind by retreating ice sheets thousands of years ago. This geological heritage gives Danish spring water its characteristically clean, mineral-filtered quality — though, as with any natural water source, the water here has not been officially tested or certified for drinking. ## Directions 1. From central Randers, head northeast toward the village of Tjærby. 2. Follow Tjærbyvej (Tjærby Road) into the village. 3. The spring is located near **Tjærbyvej, 8930 Randers NØ** — look for it along or just off the roadside. 4. **GPS coordinates:** 56.472176, 10.095153 — use these for precise navigation, as the spring is small and easy to miss. The area is accessible and shows signs of human upkeep, so reaching the spring does not require any off-road hiking or special equipment. ## What to Expect This is a small, unassuming natural spring — don't expect dramatic scenery or visitor facilities. What you will find is a quiet, accessible water source in a rural Danish setting. The spring is located in an area with clear human intervention, meaning the surroundings are maintained and the site is reachable year-round without difficulty. The flow is modest, typical of the small countryside springs found throughout Jutland. The landscape around Tjærby is flat to gently rolling farmland, offering a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors have historically used springs like this one as a source of fresh water, and it remains a point of local interest for those who appreciate natural water sources. Because the spring is roadside and in a settled area, there are no access restrictions or limited visiting hours — you can stop by at any time. There are no restrooms, signage, or dedicated parking, so plan accordingly. If you're touring the Randers area, the spring makes for a brief but pleasant stop, especially if you're interested in Denmark's tradition of natural springs.
