Out in nature: Lots of hiking and cycling routes from Skive Fjord Camping

The area around Skive Fjord Camping offers lots of exciting hiking and cycling routes, so you can safely pack your hiking boots for your holiday.
We have collected a few examples here on the page, but to get a more complete overview, you can pick up a map of the hiking routes at reception or download the Destination Limfjorden app, so you are ready to go on an adventure on the Salling peninsula by the Limfjord. 

196 kilometers of coastline are waiting for you right here! Skive Municipality alone has 196 kilometers of coastline. That's a lot! And all within a maximum of 25 minutes drive from the campsite (the coastal kilometers furthest from the campsite are located on the island of Fur). The many kilometers of waterfront offer lots of lovely walks along cliffs, piers, on sand and stones. 

Always a water's edge in the shelter - regardless of wind direction: On the west side of Salling you will find beaches that bring to mind the windswept and harsh nature of the North Sea, while on our side, the east side, you will find peaceful, safe Limfjord beaches with everything from lots of sand to fjord shores with stones.

Good trails to and around Skive Town In addition to specific hiking and cycling routes, there are also plenty of other paths, for example to the harbor, the center of Skive town and the Low Water Route, which goes towards Lyby at the water's edge. You can walk across Denmark's longest wooden bridge, which lies across the innermost part of the fjord after the harbor. Come by and enjoy our beautiful nature, the magnificent Limfjord, experience the agricultural land of Salling, the heathland south of the city and much more.

We have collected three of the beautiful routes directly from the campsite below.

Invite big and small, four-legged and two-legged, along for a cozy walk, bike, roller skate or scooter ride along the Limfjord's water's edge. The paved path that starts on the beach just below Skive Fjord Camping is a safe place for the kids to burn off some energy, because there are no cars nearby. You walk through a couple of forest areas that go all the way down to the water's edge, you can switch between walking on the beach or on the path, and about 2,4 km into the path you can turn off for a walk into Krabbesholm Forest, which also offers lots of lovely routes. You can also continue to Skive Harbour, which is 3 km from the campsite on the path and enjoy homemade Italian ice cream while admiring the many beautiful yachts.

The path leads to many eateries, experiences and the pedestrian street.
In addition to Krabbesholm Skov, the path also leads to Restaurant A Hereford Beefstouw, which is located approximately 2,8 km inland, the working workshop at Guldsmed Ø and the Glaspusteriet Gnist in the beautiful, old Resenlund. At the harbor you will find (in addition to one of the country's most beautiful marinas) Restaurant Ballast, and about 700 meters past the harbor is the Havnekiosken with ice cream and sausages, which also marks the entrance to Krabbesholm Herregård, which today houses a design and architecture college. After that, you can either turn down past the industrial harbor, where you can walk across Denmark's longest wooden bridge, or you can follow the road up to Skive Gågade with plenty of shopping opportunities and cafes. All within walking or cycling distance!

Distance to the start of the trail from Skive Fjord Camping: 150 meters 

For the more off-road-oriented (and possibly those with waterproof shoes) there is the Low Water Route, which goes to Hagensmølle Å. The route can only be used when the water level in Skive Fjord is low, as the beach you follow is otherwise flooded. The trip starts from Marienlyst Strand, from where you follow the coast north. The first part is rocky and requires good shoes, but after that there is sand.

If you are really fit, it is actually possible to walk all the way to Sundsøre via Blue Walk.

The nature trails follow, among other things, the old railway track on the Salling peninsula, on which Skive is located, and the trails form a network of good routes that take you around the entire area. The trails are covered with gravel and are even and well-groomed. There are many kilometers of varying nature and routes waiting for you if you follow the Nature Trails around the area. You can get to the Nature Trails just around the corner from the campsite - it is about 1,3 kilometers until you reach the path near the golf course. 

Cultural experiences and Salling's history are evident from the Nature Trails
Salling clearly shows that people have lived here for many years; you will see burial mounds, jetties, castles, churches, manor houses, and how farmers have improved their farming methods over time with field boundaries that ensure that the crops are not affected by the wind. Get a map of the nature trails at reception or find them in the Destination Limfjorden app.

Via the Fjord Path (or by driving towards Skive Marinas and Parks) you will find Krabbesholm Forest. The forest offers old, enormous oak, ash and beech trees, which are several hundred years old, especially in the southern part. It is one of the forests in Denmark with the highest average age of the trees, so it is incredibly beautiful and magical here with old, gnarled trees, winding paths, streams and forest lakes. A forest like Krabbesholm Forest with old, large deciduous trees is very, very unusual to find in Central and West Jutland, so if you love a nice walk in the forest, this is an area you should not miss.

It is beautiful and adventurous here with great routes, orienteering posts, a forest lake, small streams and of course a rich wildlife. Krabbesholm Forest is part of the same green belt for wildlife as the campsite's forest.
In the forest you will also find Krabbesholm Manor, whose main building was built in 1565, and today houses Krabbesholm College.

Skive Municipality has a really good map, where hiking and cycling routes in the area are drawn in. We have a printed version of the map at the campsite reception, which you can get as a guest for free and take with you on your trips around the Skive area. 

Below you will find a link to the Skive Municipality website, which describes some of the routes and gives you the opportunity to view/download the map of the area's many good hiking and cycling routes, including the Nature Trails. Blue Walk is a newly established route and can be found independently. HERE
