Ejerslev Lagune, Mors
A former moler quarry turned blue lagoon, framed by steep clay cliffs and a small working harbour on Mors, perfect for slow walks, geology and sky-wide views.
Carved from an old moler quarry on the north coast of Mors, Ejerslev Lagune is a striking blue lagoon backed by steep clay cliffs and opening towards the Limfjord. A 1.4 km path circles the water, bringing you close to the layered moler slopes where fossils can be found, while wide skies, seabirds and the working harbour next door keep the scene lively. It is a tranquil, scenic place for short hikes, quiet contemplation, photography and gentle watersports in a distinctive Danish island landscape.

Local tips
- Walk the full 1.4 km loop around the lagoon to see the moler cliffs from every angle and spot the most interesting rock formations.
- Bring shoes suitable for gravel and occasionally muddy patches, especially after rain, as sections of the path can be soft underfoot.
- If you plan to look for fossils, use only hand tools, respect any on-site signs and avoid damaging the steeper parts of the moler slopes.
- Aim for early morning or late afternoon for softer light on the cliffs and calmer conditions if you want to paddle on the lagoon.
- Pack a windproof layer even in summer; the exposed Limfjord coast can feel significantly cooler than inland areas.

Getting There
-
Car from Nykøbing Mors
From central Nykøbing Mors, driving to Ejerslev Lagune typically takes about 25–30 minutes, following main island roads across gently rolling countryside. The last stretch is on smaller rural roads that are paved but narrow in places. There is usually free parking close to the harbour and lagoon, though spaces can be limited on sunny summer weekends and during Danish school holidays.
-
Bicycle from Nykøbing Mors
Cycling from Nykøbing Mors to Ejerslev Lagune takes around 60–90 minutes each way, depending on pace. The route uses a mix of local roads and quieter lanes with modest hills and occasional exposed sections where wind from the Limfjord can be strong. The ride suits reasonably confident cyclists; there is no dedicated cycle path all the way, so expect to share the road with local traffic.
-
Public bus and short walk
Regional buses on Mors connect Nykøbing Mors with villages in the northern part of the island, with typical journey times of 30–45 minutes to the nearest stop to Ejerslev. Services usually run several times per day on weekdays but can be limited in the evenings and on weekends, and there may be no direct stop at the harbour itself. From the closest village stop, expect a walk of 20–30 minutes on quiet country roads to reach the lagoon, so this option suits visitors comfortable with an extended outing.

A lagoon shaped by clay and sea
Ejerslev Lagune sits tucked behind the natural harbour of Ejerslev on the northern edge of Mors, where the Limfjord meets dramatic banks of moler clay. Once an active quarry extracting this soft, layered sediment, the pit slowly filled with water and was later reshaped into the sheltered lagoon you see today. The result is a calm basin of blue-green water, protected from the fjord by a narrow barrier yet still connected to the rhythms of tide and wind. Walk a few steps from the shoreline and you notice how steeply the cliffs rise from the water’s edge. Their pale, almost chalk-like faces are striped with darker bands, each line a trace of ancient seabeds and volcanic ash that settled here millions of years ago. The setting feels both intimate and expansive: a contained bowl of water framed by sky and cliffs, but open towards the broader Limfjord seascape beyond.Moler cliffs and stories in the rock
The trademark of Ejerslev Lagune is its moler, a unique clay formed from countless microscopic diatoms mixed with volcanic dust. Along the circular path, the cliffs stand close enough that you can see delicate folds, slumps and fractures running through the strata. In some places erosion has carved shallow alcoves and miniature pillars, giving the slopes a sculpted look that changes subtly with light and weather. Hidden in these layers are fossils of fish, insects and plants, remnants from an Eocene sea that once covered northern Jutland. Fossil hunting is allowed in designated areas, provided you treat the fragile slopes with care and respect any local guidance. Even if you never spot a fossil, knowing that the cliff beside you holds such a long geological story adds a quiet sense of wonder to a simple walk.A gentle circuit on foot and by water
The classic way to experience the lagoon is to follow the 1.4 km path that loops right around the water. The route is mostly level and easy underfoot, making it suitable for unhurried strolls, short photo stops and families with time to spare. Benches and informal seating spots appear at intervals, inviting you to pause and watch the changing reflections on the surface or the soft ripple of wind across the reeds. On still days, the lagoon’s sheltered water is ideal for stand-up paddleboarding and gentle paddling. The cliffs rise close on one side while the low harbour buildings and small boats frame the other, so even a brief trip on the board feels immersive. In cooler months, the same sheltered setting makes the circuit appealing as a brisk walk, with clear views towards the Limfjord islands when the air is crisp.Harbour life and fjord horizons
Just beyond the lagoon, Ejerslev Harbour preserves a working character that links the site to the wider Limfjord. Established in the early 1900s to serve local trade and fishing, the small marina is still home to vessels that head out after herring, eel and lobster. The masts, nets and gear on the quayside bring a human rhythm to a landscape otherwise defined by rock and water. From the outer edge of the harbour you gain broader views across the fjord, where low islands and distant headlands line the horizon. In clear weather you may spot seals resting on the sandbanks at Ejerslev Røn offshore, and sea birds tracing long arcs above the channel. The contrast between the enclosed calm of the lagoon and the open sweep of the fjord is one of the site’s quiet pleasures.Light, seasons and the mood of the place
Though compact in size, Ejerslev Lagune changes character with light and season. On bright summer evenings the western sky often glows over the fjord, and the cliff faces catch warm colour as the sun drops low. In winter the tones are subtler: slate water, pale clay and bare shrubs creating a stark northern palette that suits a solitary walk. Windy days send small waves slapping against the stony shore, while calm periods turn the lagoon into a mirror reflecting cloud patterns overhead. Throughout the year, the area retains a reflective atmosphere. There are no loud attractions here, only the quiet sounds of water, birds and the occasional boat engine from the harbour. For many visitors, that understated mix of geological drama, working coast and simple walking paths is exactly what makes Ejerslev Lagune linger in the memory.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
