Discover Lundø: coastline, trails and nature

Coastline and landscape

The Lundø peninsula has beaches on both sides. Lundø Øst Strand is on the east side near Lundø Camping; Lundø Strand is also located on the scenic peninsula. There are various walks along the long coastline. If you are looking for a hotel in Lundø, the coastal landscape, trails and waterside activities can offer different focal points for your stay. Termø is a stone spit about one kilometre long that extends west into the fjord; Jelse Odde is a narrow sand spit.

Hiking on Lundø

The Termø hiking route starts at Lundø Kirke and is marked with blue arrows. The section running along the fjord can be difficult to pass when water levels are high. Take the water level into account when planning and check the current conditions before setting out. One route runs across the Termø stone reef and along Bådsgård Vig.

A 2.1-kilometre walk is possible at the tip of Jelse Odde. The “Vandretur: Jelse Odde” route is 4.9 kilometres long. If you are weighing up the distance, the walk at the tip is the shorter option compared with the longer route. Jelse Odde extends 1.5 kilometres into Hvalpsund. The narrow sand spit serves as a resting place for flocks of seabirds, including herring gulls, great black-backed gulls and cormorants. The route to Jelse Odde, also called Lundø Tap, passes low-lying areas, stretches of meadow and dykes.

Water and activities

At low tide, you can walk a kilometre out into the Limfjord. As this outing depends on the tide, be sure to check the water level and local conditions in advance. The shallow water along Lundø’s coasts offers good conditions for children and adults to learn to sail. Conditions and places to get started may change; check both when planning locally. Many surfers can often be seen on the west side of the tip of Lundø. Wind and water conditions vary.

Nature and history

The Lundø nature reserve was established in 1965. There is a car park and paths within the area that provide access for visitors. Check the condition of the facilities before visiting.

In 1231, Lundø was referred to as “Lognø”; the name means “a place where there is shelter or calm water”. Lundøtårnet offers a small glimpse into the nature and history of the area. Former teacher Henning Kristensen made a church ship for Lundø Kirke. The road to Lundø also has a historic date: it was secured by dykes in 1878.
