MTB tracks: Go mountain biking on holiday at Skive Fjord Camping

The area around the campsite offers plenty of exciting MTB trails for both experienced and less experienced riders. We have collected a few examples here on the page, but in the mountain bike app Singletracker you can find even more tracks and further details about the routes near Skive. So remember to pack your mountain bike when you go camping - there is plenty of opportunity to air it out!

Mountain bike trails directly at/on the campsite. You don't have to drive far for the first track - in fact it is located in the forest right by the campsite. From the edge of the campsite to the top of the MTB track is about 10 meters. The track is located in the forest on the slope down towards the beach between trees and branches. There are jumps and other fun things here. Parts of the track are for the experienced rider, but there are also sections for the less experienced mountain biker. 

In addition to dedicated mountain bike trails, there are also plenty of opportunities to ride in the forest., in the military training area "Plantagen", which offers forest and heath, or go cycling with the family on the many good cycling and hiking trails that are spread throughout the Salling peninsula, on which the campsite is located.

Right by the campsite in the forest between the beach and the caravans, you will find a really fun mountain bike trail. The trail has both parts that are for the experienced mountain biker and parts where less experienced riders can also join in. The trail winds between trees down the slope, so here is a good opportunity to gain speed and take some good jumps. 

So you can easily just slip away here. to ride a little when there is a small gap in your holiday calendar - you are just around the corner if someone misses you. That's smart! If the rest of the family is also into mountain biking, it is nice and easy to follow junior around, because you don't have to go out riding or on a long journey if you have to "home" to the car to pick up your own bike. 

Only 10 meters from the campsite!

Near the Plantagen and close to Skive Vandværk you will find the Vandværkssporet, which was created by Skive Cykle Klub.
The main trail is of medium difficulty, but there is the option to take a detour to more difficult terrain. The trail is 3,6 km long with lots of fun challenges along the way.

Perhaps one of Denmark's best progression tracks! Every track is an opening to something new, so there is always more to explore. 

Address and parking: Jegstrupvej, 7800 Skive. If you come to the trail by car, it is possible to park right opposite the start of the trail in the parking lot on Jegstrupvej.

Distance to the start of the trail from Skive Fjord Camping: 9,5 km

In the forest by the Skive Barracks training ground you will also find the Bilstrupsporet, a short 2,6 km trail with narrow passages and many tree roots. Here you can get up to speed and pedal - if you dare!
The trail is not quite as technically demanding, so it is perfect for the less experienced mountain biker. There is also a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, as the Vandværkssporet trail is quite close. 

Address and parking: The Bilstrup trail is located in Plantagen near Svansøvej. It is easiest to park in one of the parking lots on Bjørnevej, 7800 Skive, and cycle along the beautiful paths through Plantagen to the start of the trail. 

Distance from Skive Fjord Camping: 9,5 km

In Estvadgård Plantage is Skånsø, which is both a beautiful forest lake - but also the name of the super technical trail that is right next to the lake. The trail consists almost entirely of singletrack and very few transport sections. If you are up for an extra challenge, you can choose extra difficult passages such as Kurts Bakke or Triple Drop. They are marked on the route.

The trail is a full 6,5 km long with very few transport sections. If you follow the main trail, most people can ride the trail, while the named sections like Slangesporet and Kurts Bakke are for those who want something more technical. 

Address and parking: Parking at Skånsø Parking Lot
