Discover more about Ejerslev Lagune

Nestled on the wild, northern shore of Mors Island, Ejerslev Lagune is a real Limfjord gem where natural drama and tranquility exist side by side. This crescent-shaped lagoon is encircled by steep, stratified moler cliffs—these ancient volcanic ash and clay layers, deposited some 55 million years ago, hold stories of prehistoric seas and are a major draw for geology enthusiasts. Once a site for marl mining, the lagoon has since been cleverly restored, allowing nature to reclaim the space while preserving its industrial heritage. The old harbor and remnants of mining infrastructure still offer a tangible sense of the area's past, merging seamlessly with the modern-day sanctuary. Wandering the well-maintained trails, visitors are rewarded with sweeping water vistas, bright bursts of wildflowers in spring and summer, and the constant call of seabirds. The calm, shallow lagoon water attracts local fishermen, kayakers, and those simply looking for a peaceful escape from the everyday. On fine days, its mirror-like surface captures perfect reflections of the dramatic headlands and the sky above. Birdwatchers find Ejerslev Lagune thrilling for its diversity of species; herons and waders are commonly seen along the shoreline, while gulls wheel overhead. The moler cliffs themselves occasionally yield fossilized fish and plants, making the area fascinating for children and amateur paleontologists alike. There are picnic tables and simple facilities near the parking area, so visitors can linger and enjoy the scenery. Whether you come for the geological oddities, the peace of the water, or a leisurely walk along the shore, Ejerslev Lagune is a serene spot offering a memorable taste of Mors' wild north.
