Welcome to Vikingeklubben Jomsborg – the largest winter bathing club in Denmark, uniting more than 10,000 members with the common interest in the joys of winter bathing, located at Den Permanente Badeanstalt in Risskov.

Den Permanente Badeanstalt
Our club is very tightly linked to Den Permanente Badeanstalt, where our members have been bathing ever since it was built back in 1933.

Situated on the shore line just below Risskov forrest, Den Permanente Badeanstalt has a design which allows for direct access from the open changing cabins on the piers to the water, enabling us to bathe without disturbances from the outside world. We also have undisturbed access to the beach in the center of the premises, adding yet one more option for bathing at the shore of the Bay of Aarhus, in sea water of high-quality standards.

The club’s activities are centered around bathing in the sea water. Daily opening hours from 6 am to 11 pm, with access to saunas. For more information, go to klubbens faciliteter.

Please note that all bathing and visits to the sauna has to be in the nude and that our facilities are unisex.

Vikingeklubben Jomsborg’s board is elected from and by the members of the club. The board is in charge of the day-to-day operations. Hence, the “ownership” of Jomsborg lies in every member’s hand, and all members are more than welcome to participate in the club’s community.

If you want to join our club, you must register on the waiting list. It normally takes between 6 to 18 months from signing up, until you can expect to get in. New members are admitted each year in September.

Before you register on our waiting list, please read the pages about our culture and rules for more information about what you are signing up for.

Welcome to the club.
