Borgerstien and its route

The information highlights different aspects of the route: the place names describe where it runs, while the tunnel is a structural feature of the project. For travel planning, this means Borgerstien is not associated with Gandrup alone; Øster Hassing is also part of the connection described. The tunnel adds a specific detail about the infrastructure beneath Omfartsvejen.

Teglværkssøerne: landscape and brickmaking history

Teglværkssøerne is a natural area near Gandrup where several natural lakes formed as a result of earlier clay extraction. The clay was extracted by Gandrup Teglværk to make yellow bricks. This work continued for 40 years, from the 1960s until 2000. This explains the landscape not only in terms of its lakes: their formation is connected to brick production at the time. The natural area is also characterized by a rich variety of bird and plant life. Here, you can consider two aspects together when choosing what interests you: the natural surroundings and the history of the activity that shaped them. The connection stretches from the clay that was extracted to the yellow bricks and the lakes that formed later.
