Ertebølle Lille Badebro
A simple wooden bathing jetty on the Limfjord, Ertebølle Lille Badebro offers calm waters, big skies and quiet moments framed by Stone Age history and fjord views.
Ertebølle Lille Badebro is a small wooden bathing jetty on the Limfjord near the village of Ertebølle in Vesthimmerland. Backed by a modest sandy stretch with stones and wide views towards Fur, it offers easy access to the shallow, often calm waters of the fjord. Locals use this petite pier as a relaxed spot for summer swims, quiet sunset moments and as a starting point for shoreline walks that tap into the area’s rich Stone Age heritage and dramatic coastal landscapes.

Local tips
- Bring water shoes or sturdy sandals, as the beach and seabed around the jetty include stones and small pebbles that can be uncomfortable on bare feet.
- Pack your own drinks and snacks; facilities are minimal at the jetty itself, and you are likely to be relying on supplies from nearby shops or your accommodation.
- Check wind and weather forecasts before planning a long swim or paddle session, as conditions on the Limfjord can shift quickly even if the water is usually calmer than the open sea.
- Combine a visit with time at the Ertebølle Stone Age Center or a walk along the cliffs at Ertebølle Hoved to better understand the area’s archaeological and geological significance.

Getting There
-
Car from Farsø town centre
From central Farsø, reaching Ertebølle Lille Badebro typically takes around 15–20 minutes by car, depending on traffic and season. The route follows local country roads through gently rolling farmland, with clear signage towards Ertebølle and the coast rather than major highways. There is usually informal roadside or small parking-area space near the beach access, but it can feel limited on peak summer afternoons, so arriving earlier in the day helps. Fuel stations and supermarkets are in Farsø, so plan to bring any food or beach supplies with you.
-
Bicycle from nearby holiday houses and campsites
Many visitors arrive by bicycle from summer houses and campsites scattered around Ertebølle and the Limfjord coast. Typical riding times range from 10 to 30 minutes, with gently undulating terrain on paved lanes and smaller roads that are generally quiet but shared with cars. There is no dedicated bike parking infrastructure at the jetty, so you will usually lean or lock your bike against a fence or rail near the beach entrance. Cycling is free, but bring lights and reflective gear if you plan to return after sunset, as rural lighting can be sparse.
-
Regional bus and walking combination
Regional buses in Vesthimmerland connect Farsø and nearby communities with stops in or near Ertebølle, usually as part of routes serving villages along the Limfjord. Services are not high-frequency and may be reduced in evenings and on weekends, so it is important to check current timetables and plan for waiting times. From the nearest village stop, expect a walk of 15–25 minutes along local roads to reach the shoreline and the small jetty, over largely flat terrain without continuous pavements. Standard regional bus fares in this part of Denmark are typically in the range of 25–50 DKK per adult for a one-way journey, depending on zones and route length.

A Small Jetty on the Edge of the Limfjord
Ertebølle Lille Badebro is a modest wooden bathing jetty reaching into the Limfjord from the low shoreline at Gammel Møllevej on the outskirts of the village of Ertebølle. Here the coast forms a gentle curve of light sand mixed with stones, framed by grassy banks and summer houses set back from the water. The jetty itself is simple and functional rather than grand: a narrow structure designed to step you past the first belt of stones and seaweed into deeper, clearer water. Because the Limfjord is protected compared with Denmark’s open North Sea coast, the water around the jetty is often calm, with ripples rather than pounding waves. On still days the surface becomes mirror-like, reflecting the sky and the silhouettes of distant islands. Even when the wind picks up, the fjord tends to feel more intimate than dramatic, which makes the little bathing bridge a comfortable place for less confident swimmers and families who prefer gentle conditions.Shallow Waters and Simple Beach Life
The beach by Ertebølle Lille Badebro is part of the broader Ertebølle Strand area, a roughly 300-metre-long stretch described locally as mainly sandy with a fair number of stones. Underfoot you can expect firm sand interspersed with pebbles and patches of seaweed, especially near the waterline. Once you step off the jetty, the depth increases gradually, so many visitors wade for a while before needing to swim. Facilities remain deliberately low-key. You are here for the water, the view and the fresh air more than for a full-service beach set-up. The atmosphere is quiet and local, with swimmers sharing the shore with anglers, paddleboarders and walkers. On warm summer days it becomes an easygoing base for a couple of hours by the fjord, while in shoulder seasons it feels almost contemplative, suitable for a brisk dip followed by a wrapped-up stroll.Part of a Landscape Shaped by Stone Age History
Although the jetty is small, it sits within one of Denmark’s most intriguing cultural landscapes. Just south of the village rise the cliffs of Ertebølle Hoved, around 20 metres high and rich in folded layers of moler clay and volcanic ash that date back about 55 million years. These cliffs, along with similar formations elsewhere around the Limfjord, have been recognised as a special natural and cultural heritage area and nominated for potential World Heritage status. A short distance inland lies the famous Ertebølle kitchen midden on the old seabed, where archaeologists uncovered a vast man-made heap of oyster and mussel shells in the 1890s. The discovery revealed that late Mesolithic hunter-gatherers lived here some 7,000 years ago and gave their name to the Ertebølle Culture. Nearby, the Ertebølle Stone Age Center uses an extensive outdoor landscape to recreate that era, with reconstructed dwellings and demonstrations of traditional crafts like flint knapping and boat building.Views Across the Fjord and Seasonal Moods
From the end of Ertebølle Lille Badebro, the view opens across Løgstør Bredning towards the island of Fur and other low-lying shores of the Limfjord. The horizon feels broad but not empty: lines of wind turbines, scattered farms and wooded ridges punctuate the skyline. This makes the jetty an appealing spot not only for swimming but also for simple contemplation, photography and watching the sky change over the water. Summer brings long, lingering evenings when the sun drops low, colouring the fjord in soft gold and pink. In mild weather you may hear children playing on the sand, the splash of a diver and the distant hum of boats. On colder days the scene shifts to greys and silvers, with brisk winds and sharper air that appeals to hardy winter bathers and walkers following coastal paths linking the beach, the village and the nearby cliffs.Quiet Moments and Everyday Danish Coastal Life
This little bathing bridge is not a dramatic destination on its own so much as a window into everyday coastal life in Vesthimmerland. Locals come to test the water at the start of the season, to cool off after a cycle ride or hike, or simply to sit with a thermos and watch cloud formations drift over the fjord. Holidaymakers from nearby summer houses add a gentle buzz in school holidays, while at other times you may share the jetty with only a couple of early-morning swimmers. For many visitors, Ertebølle Lille Badebro works best as a pause point within a broader exploration of the area: a refreshing dip before visiting the Stone Age Center, a scenic stop on a coastal walk, or a quiet place to reflect after fossil-hunting near the cliffs. Its charm lies in its simplicity and its setting, offering a direct, unfussy connection with the water and with a landscape layered by both deep geological time and human history.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
