Vejlby Fed: Coast, Cycling Routes and Kitesurfing

Vejlby Fed appeals to travelers who want to combine a coastal stay with time outdoors. The shallow waters of Båring Vig, two cycling routes with distinct characteristics and a kitesurfing spot give you specific points to consider when planning. Depending on whether you mainly want to spend time by the water, explore a route by bike or go kitesurfing, different aspects of the area will come to the fore.

Shallow water at Båring Vig

At Vejlby Fed, you can wade far out into the shallow waters of Båring Vig, where the water reaches only ankle height. This makes it easy to assess whether an extensive stretch of shallow shoreline suits your preferences. If you are weighing up beach days, cycling and kitesurfing when planning your vacation, the shallow water is a specific reason in its own right to consider Vejlby Fed.

Cycling routes with different layouts

The 6 km cycling route from Svenstrup to Vejlby Fed passes through fields and small villages and ends at a child-friendly beach. This gives you a specific route length, a rural setting and a beach destination for a cycling trip. The description “child-friendly” refers to the beach at the end of the route.

The Banestien – Staurby/Vejlby follows a disused railway line from the new Lillebælt Bridge to Vejlby and is suitable for cycling and walking. This makes it an option for a walking trip as well as a bike ride; the route’s defining feature is its former railway alignment.

The routes have different features: the Svenstrup route ends at the beach, while the Banestien follows a disused railway line and can also be used on foot. This lets you choose based on whether you prefer a beach destination or a railway-line route, and on how you want to get around.

Kitesurfing and practical information

The Vejlby Fed kitesurfing spot supports the styles of wave, freeride, freestyle, slalom and cruising. These five named styles give kitesurfing a distinct place alongside swimming and cycling routes. If kitesurfing is a deciding factor for your trip, you can assess Vejlby Fed based on the styles supported at the spot.

There is good parking close to the water at the kitesurfing spot. A public toilet is located at Vejlby Fed Camping. Bikes, SUPs and pedal boats are available for rent at Vejlby Fed Strand Camping. If you plan to rent any of these, check availability in advance.

Vejlby Fed is accessible from the south via Hovkrogsvej and from the north via Kogagervej. Which of the two roads is relevant to you depends on the direction you are traveling from.
