Hiking trails and cycling routes

The Nissum Fjord Route offers hiking opportunities close to the fjord and its harbours. Nearby, Husby Klitplantage has four marked hiking trails, two bridle paths, a permanently marked orienteering course and three marked running routes. This gives you several ways to enjoy the outdoors.

The Husby Klitplantage Route is a certified, 15-kilometre hiking route on the North Sea coast. It begins at the small fjord harbour of Helmklink Havn on Nissum Fjord and passes through varied terrain close to the water, through dunes and across heathland. Route access details may change; check them before setting out.

The yellow cycling route around Nissum Fjord offers a different scale: it is 84.5 kilometres long. As a simple comparison of distance, it is considerably longer than the 15-kilometre hiking route. If you’re deciding between hiking and cycling, these distances can help you plan more specifically.

Nature, water and seasons

Nissum Fjord Nature Park encompasses the fjord and the surrounding natural and cultural landscape. This includes forests, meadows, dune heaths and lakes, as well as villages, manor houses, farms and agricultural land. Nissum Fjord and parts of its surrounding area are designated as a bird protection area.

For seasonal nature watching, a small natural harbour at the southwestern tip of Fjandø offers views of the birds nesting there in spring and early summer. You can swim in Nissum Fjord at Nørhede Havn, where the fjord bed is sandy and firm. Nørhede, on the fjord’s southern shore, provides access to a small natural harbour nearby.

Windsurfing is also possible on Nissum Fjord, but only at certain times and in specific areas. These time and location restrictions are important to bear in mind if you’re including the activity in your travel plans.
