As you move along the fjord, you will experience the flat, shallow fjord meadows, which are a true paradise for migratory birds. Guests driving along the dunes on the coastal road experience the fjord and the meadows as a vast, often bird-rich area. If you stop at the small, idyllic fjord harbors or take a trip with the locals, the diverse nature and cultural landscape that characterizes Naturpark Nissum Fjord all the way around will open up to you.

There are 3 routes around Nissum Fjord, all of which operate as loops. Therefore, you always finish at the same place you started. The official starting and parking points are:

Blue route (Hiking trail by Indfjorden) | 14.7 km:

Start and finish: South of Bøvlingbjerg (e.g., at Bøvling Harbor or Gørding - fjord house and bird tower).

Red route (Nissum Fjord Hiking Trail - Large route) | 70.9 km:

Start and finish: The harbor town of Thorsminde (by the sluice/North Sea). The route leads you all the way around the fjord and through all the small, local fjord harbors.

Practical information for the trip

Accommodation: Along the red hiking route, you will find good opportunities to stay overnight in shelters, at a local nature school, or at campsites, such as Nissum Fjord Camping in Fjand.

Dogs on the trail: The route crosses several enclosures with cattle or horses that maintain the landscape. You are welcome to pass, but your dog must always be kept on a short leash.

Digital maps: You can download the route to your smartphone via the official map guide at Naturpark Nissum Fjord or find inspiration on Udinaturen.dk.

Remember provisions: Since shopping opportunities can be far apart out on the open fjord meadows, it is a good idea to stock up on food and water in the local towns before starting the tour.
