If you are looking for a hotel in Mou, these themes can help you choose a destination that suits your interests.

Mou Church and summer singing

Mou Church is whitewashed and roofed with tiles. Its Gothic nave dates from the first half of the 15th century; an extension was added on the north side in the 18th century. This means you can see different building phases in the church: the Gothic nave and the later addition on the north side. Details of its appearance and architectural history give the church a distinct place in Mou’s cultural history.

Every summer, people gather in Kirkeskoven by Mou Church for summer singing. The parish’s two musicians play and sing, while everyone sings together beneath the green tree canopy. The venue is Dokkedalvej 10B, Mou, 9280 Storvorde. Dates may change, so check the latest announcement if you want to plan your trip around the summer singing.

Before the summer singing, Mou Spejderne opens a stand serving coffee and homemade pastries. This is part of the event and may vary from year to year. The summer singing and a visit to the church therefore offer different reasons to visit: the event revolves around its date and singing together, while the church, with its architectural features, provides a lasting cultural landmark.

Moorland and nature experiences

In the area around Mou, Lille Vildmose offers observation towers, platforms and viewpoints, as well as trails and routes for independent nature experiences. The area, designated a Natura 2000 site, covers 7,824 hectares. When planning a stay in the moorland, you can choose between viewpoints and trails for exploring on your own.

Portland Moor has a 1.1-kilometre boardwalk. Its length provides a specific reference point for planning your walk; infrastructure may change over time. The Lille Vildmose Centre complements the nature experiences with exhibitions, films, and activities for play and learning about the wildlife and natural environment of the moor. It also presents the area’s natural and cultural values and offers guidance for exploring independently. Guided tours can be booked there. Visitor facilities and activities may change, so check the latest information in advance if you are planning a visit to the Centre or a tour.

Mulbjerge, the Limfjord and the harbour

The moraine of Mulbjerge is located near Dokkedal. It offers a scenic view of the Kattegat and Lille Vildmose; there are also several hiking trails in the Mulbjerge area. This landscape spot combines views of two named areas with local trails, giving it a different character from the moorland centre with its exhibitions, films and learning activities.

Mou Beach is on the Limfjord, near Mou and Mou Marina. The harbour has a slipway and lends bicycles to visiting boaters on request. This service is for guests arriving by boat; contact the harbour directly if you are interested. The beach, harbour and moorland offer different options for planning your trip, while the summer singing is a recurring annual event with dates that may vary.
