Tour Description:
|
|
After passing over Feggesund from Thy to Mors - or inserting kayak on the Mors side, you travel south. The first possible stop is not more than 1 km away. Here it is possible to get up to Moler Museum of the road - about 1km. Shortly afterwards you row on and pass Skarrehage. A seal sanctuary, where there is often plenty of opportunities to observe seals. Some kilometers further down you meet the first of the moler clint as Mors is famous for. Here are significant chances of finding fossils. There are information boards relatively close to the beach. Shortly after Skærbæk Klint there is a meadow, where there are excellent opportunities for landing. Shortly after you see Mors’ highest point (Salgerhøj), which, on the top, provides a great view of both Mors, Thisted Bredning and Thy. Also here it is possible to go ashore and study the information boards. Some kilometers further down is Hanklit - Denmark's largest Moler clint. An amazing sight. Here, too, there is ample opportunities to find fossils. Information board just after creeks ending. Gullerup Beach comes shortly after - also here it is possible to go ashore. After that there is 8 km of coastal meadows - many birds, but also very shallow in several places before the Vildsund bridge can be seen and passed. Best place to dock in the harbor at Østvildsund. Here there is parking, toilet and a pavillion where you can sit and eat your food. Alternatively, you can eat at the Inn.
