Local tips
- Bring binoculars—Ejerslev Lagune is one of the best spots in Limfjord for watching rare birds, especially during migration.
- The lagoon circuit takes about an hour at a relaxed pace, but allow extra time to explore the cliffs and fossil hunt.
- Facilities are limited off-season; the café is usually open weekends and summer only—pack snacks and water if visiting out of peak times.
- Parking is free, but spaces can fill quickly on sunny weekends—arrive earlier for the most peaceful atmosphere.
- Swimming is possible but the water can be cold and the shoreline rocky—use caution and supervise children.
Getting There
-
Public Transport
From central Limfjord towns like Nykøbing Mors, local buses frequently travel north across the island toward Ejerslev. The trip across rolling farmland and through small villages usually takes 30–40 minutes. Disembark at the nearest village stop—signs for the lagoon are visible from here. A gentle 10–15 minute walk past farmsteads and open views leads directly to the lagoon. Single bus tickets within Mors island are typically 24–30 DKK. Note that service frequency decreases outside of peak hours and on Sundays.
-
Driving
Most visitors arrive by car, journeying along well-marked island roads with sweeping views over fields and fjord. The approach is unmistakable as the distinctive pale cliffs become visible beside the narrow access road. There is a free parking lot just a short stroll from the lagoon, though spaces are fewer during high summer and holiday weekends.
-
Cycling
Adventurous visitors regularly cycle from Limfjord’s larger towns, enjoying dedicated bike paths and light island traffic. The final segment offers broad views of water, meadows, and the dramatic headland. Bike racks are available near the main entrance and access is barrier-free.
-
Taxi
Taxis can be arranged from central Limfjord towns or Nykøbing Mors. The journey is typically 25–35 minutes depending on the starting point and traffic, with costs generally in the range of 180–220 DKK per car.
