kro

Definition

A traditional inn, often in the countryside, offering food and sometimes rooms. Many kroer sit beside old roads, ferry crossings or harbours and serve regional dishes in a relaxed setting. Opening hours can be short outside the summer season, and rooms are usually few, so book ahead for an overnight stay. Opening seasons and menus vary, so confirm locally.
