The Coastal Route

– rough and gentle – for body and soul
A 150 km nature experience on foot round the island of Mors in the Limfjord. A trip that takes you through a completely unique and fantastic variety of landscapes and natural formations.

The route follows beaches, woodland roads, narrow paths, field paths, passes through meadows with grazing animals and along small asphalted roads.
The Coastal Route opens up a host of possibilities for a trip or holiday with plenty of quality time, healthy challenges and fairytale experiences, no matter if you are on your own or with others.

It’s wonderful to walk along the water’s edge, but also good to vary the trip so you also have terra firma underfoot and come inland. It is from here you have the fantastic views – in over the island and out across the fjord.

Island – a home from home

Maintained
by two bridges
pitching
almost imperceptibly
on the waters of the fjord,
centre
of one of the world’s
largest welkins
such is
this folded expanse
of three hundred and sixty-three
unobtrusive green
square kilometres
covering dramatic
depths
filled with millions of tons
of chalk and moler
sand and ice-age clay mixed
with prosaic gravel and covered
with poetic topsoil,
all of it called Mors
and despite the name’s
medicinal meaning
alive
even so,
chewed through by earthworms
felt over by insects
flown over by birds
trod by four-legged creatures
with good-natured voice
and by humans
for humans too
walk about here
adding speech to voice
and hands
to the pursuits of day and night
humans too
breathe out their dreams
of everyday life
while time’s blue ripples
glide past
out there on the fjord.
