Half the pleasure of a Mörrum trip is how easy it is to reach, and how close you can stay to the water. The Mörrum river is one of the world's most famous salmon and sea trout rivers, celebrated for the size of its fish, and the village sits close to Copenhagen Airport. Staying at Mörrum River House puts you a one-minute walk from Pool 15, with everyday shops, cafés and the golf club within easy reach on foot.
Getting there
Mörrum is well connected: about 2 hours by train from Copenhagen Airport, with a train station just 1 km away served by direct trains. You can leave the car and travel light. If you do bring a car, the drive is straightforward, and having one also makes it easy to reach the larger town of Karlshamn, about 11 km away, a short 10 to 15 minute drive rather than walking distance. Karlshamn has more restaurants, including Wägga Fisk on the dockside, along with shops, the harbour and the Systembolaget.
Where you sleep is a chapter of its own, see where to stay near the Mörrum. The Mörrum River House itself sits a stone's throw from the legendary Pool 15, with two bedrooms sleeping four, an open modern kitchen, two fireplaces, fast fibre WiFi and a fridge and freezer for the catch. The garden is fenced and dog-friendly, though a dog can jump over the fence or gates, so it should never be left unattended outside. Booking direct at morrumriver.com/book.php gives a live calendar, an instant price and 10% off, while the Airbnb listing is only an alternative at full price with platform fees.
Everything nearby
Fishing is 20 m away; the shop, restaurants, Mörrum town, the golf club, Laxens Hus and the sea and sandy beach are all about 2 km. It suits anglers and coastal-holiday visitors alike. That 2 km stretch is comfortable walking distance, roughly a 20 minute stroll, or just a couple of minutes by bike or car, and it takes in two grocery supermarkets, ICA and Coop, right across the street from each other with a bank beside them, plus cosy cafés such as Café Ljusagård, an organic farm-to-table spot with home baking and organic coffee, and River Rhyme at Laxens Hus. Roadside stalls selling fresh tomatoes, eggs and flowers are only minutes away on foot. Karlshamn Golf Club, Blekinge's largest with 36 holes, runs its Gamla Banan course right along the Mörrum river, about 2 km from the house.
