Local tips
- Bring sturdy shoes—trails can be slippery after rain, especially near the cliffs.
- Don’t forget your camera for breathtaking photos at sunrise or sunset when the cliffs are illuminated.
- Try fossil hunting along the cliff bases, but do not chip at the rocks—finds are often lying loose.
- Watch for migratory birds from the wooden viewing platforms—binoculars are helpful in spring and autumn.
Getting There
-
Driving
The lagoon is most easily accessed by car from the main road network that runs along the spine of Mors. Approaching from Nykøbing Mors, you’ll pass farming villages and fields before reaching the north coast’s distinctive scenery of steep cliffs and open water. There is a large, free parking area at the former harbor, directly beside the lagoon’s main walking trails. Parking is generally not a problem, even in summer, but the site’s remote location means limited options for electric car charging.
-
Public Transport
Regional buses connect Nykøbing Mors to northern parts of the island, with a stop in Ejerslev village. From there, it’s an easy 15–25 minute walk through farmland and heathland to reach the lagoon, with the cliffs coming into view as you approach. A single bus ticket within Mors costs approximately 24–30 DKK each way. Services may be more limited on weekends and holidays.
-
Cycling
Cyclists can follow rural lanes winding north from the center of Limfjord across open countryside, with wind turbines, wetlands, and fjord glimpses along the way. Bike racks are provided at the lagoon entrance. The journey typically takes 45–70 minutes and is popular with those touring Mors by bike.
