The bridge to Mors

Nyköbing Mors Havn

Everyone knows that Harald Bluetooth brought Christianity to Denmark. Very few know that it all began on Mors. Legend tells that Harald waged war against the German Emperor, Otto II. The Danish army was defeated and retreated up through Jutland where it ended on Mors. Here the final battle took place. The Danes lost, and Harald and all of his men assumed Christianity. A Norwegian army, which had arrived to reinforce Harald, suffered the same fate. The christening took place in a spring, which still runs in Riskjær, close by Legind Vejle.

The most wellknown of the legends of Mors tells of the wicked King Fegge who, out of jealousy, murdered his brother Horvendel. After the murder he married his brother’s widow Geruth and thus became step-father to Prince Hamlet. The royal residence stood on Feggeklit and after Hamlets revenge, King Fegge was buried on top of the cliff, his grave is surrounded by great stones.

Sillerslev of South Mors has a pleasant harbour environment for anglers and sailors, and a unique bathing beach. In the course of the 1950’s and 60’s the harbour was established as a commercial fishing harbour. Prior to that the fishermen took their catch from the coast, and it was not until after many years of stubborn battle that the harbour was built. There are still fishing boats at Sillerslev, as well as a yachting harbour.

The charming area around the fishing harbour and marina at Sillerslev has its own special atmosphere.

Very nice fishing port with good facilities for yachts. Popular place with many Swedes and Norwegians on week-end trips. Sometimes they have a noisy party on Saturday night. In July the harbour might be (over)crowded. However the number of Fishing Vessels is decreasing, thereby leaving more and more space to yachts.
Attractions: Visit "Grenen" the joint where the Skagerak (North Sea) and the "Kattegat" meets. Heavy over falls and rough sea. White beach with dunes and marram grass. Skagen has more sunshine than other places in Denmark due to foehn effect from the Norwegian mountains. Skagen has attracted many artists because of its very special azure sky light. Visit "Skagen Museum", the art gallery, where the most valuable paintings can be seen. All provisions can be bought in Skagen. Visit the early morning "Fish Auction". Excellent restaurants in the harbour and neighborhood. In the month of June, there is a one week "Song Festival" with many foreign groups and artists.

Provincial town. Fishing harbour. Many visitors berth. Beach and a nice "summer town". Great nature in and around. 

This 114 square kilometer island is situated in the middle of the Cattegat and is thus only accessible by sea or by air. The island is, however, well worth a visit as it consists of beautiful areas of nature; the sky is clear, the air is refreshing and the quiet of the night is only broken by the sounds of nature.

Some holidaymakers might find that life on Læsø is too simple and quiet; there are no large hotels with night clubs and neon signs and there is not even one single traffic light on the whole of the island. However, once you have visited the island you cannot help but get attracted by the calm and relaxed attitude of the inhabitants of Læsø; only very few visitors decide not to return to Læsø once they have experienced the wonderful atmosphere of the island.

On Læsø we produce our own salt and make roofs with seaweed. We take pride in serving fresh fish and Norway lobsters and enjoy a game of golf with the visitors of the island on one of Denmark’s most beautiful golf courses situated very close to the sea.

You can travel to Læsø from Frederikshavn by the new Læsø ferry in an hour and a half. This journey is actually very comfortable and gives you a lovely start to your holiday.

Vesterö havn er en lille fiskerihavn, hvor 20 egetræsbyggede fiskekutter har deres hjemhavn. De lander deres fangster af jomfruhummer, rødspætter tunger torsk m.m.tidlig om morgenen. Der landes for ca. 10 millioner om året. Fiskernes rødmalede redskabshuse ligger på kajerne og indrammer disse. Havnen er udstyret med moderne servicefaciliteter - toilet, bad, telefon, vaskeri og indkøbsmuligheder. Servicebygningerne er opført i rødmalet træ og med små hvide kviste på 1. sal.

Indkøbsmulighederne er gode og ligger ca. 100 meter fra kajen. Her er der bl.a. købmandsbutik, restauranter, fiskehandlere og hoteller. De to læsøfærger er hjemmehørende i Vesterø havn, hvor de hver har deres færgeleje i yderhavnen. Her er der altid noget at se på i forbindelse med ankomst og afgang.

I forbindelse med havnen er der 10 km børnevenlig badestrand, og meget store naturområder. Der afgår bus direkte til Byrum 7 km og Østerby havn 20 km direkte fra havnepladsen. Der er også mulighed for at leje cykler få hundrede meter fra havnen.

I de lyse lune sommer aftner er havnebakken samlingsplads for øens befolkning, der sammen med gæster nyder solnedgangen og udsigten over havnen og Kattegat.

Don’t miss this spectacular Island in the middle of the "Kattegat". Large harbour with space for 400-500 visitors.
Fresh fish, Lobsters and the small "Norway Lobsters" (Jomfruhummer) are all available here.
In July it might be quite crowded. I have never seen an island with more different nature than Anholt.
The Westerly part is very green, high real white sand dunes. Excellent beaches with white sand like sugar. After you have left, you will enjoy the fine sand everywhere in the boat during many weeks. Only about 100 residentials on this island. The visitors are mainly sailors. Enjoy it in summer weather. When weather is gray and rainy, it's better to stay away.
The Eastern part is a real desert and is a very sensitive nature reserve. You might see many Seals at this end.
Hire a bike (don’t use your own if you intend to have it for a long time) and take a ride around the whole island, riding on the wet part of the beach.

Fra sejlrenden kan der sejles ind ved den gul/sorte grundkost (østkost), og herfra er der med orange kugler med gule flag markeret en rute til Haverslev Havn. Området indenfor sejlrenden anvendes til kapsejlads af Attrup Sejlklub, og der er derfor lige nord for grundkosten placeret et orange slagmærke, og top-/bundmærke er placeret henholdsvis ved indsejlingen til Haverslev Havn og uden for Attrup Havn. Vanddybde i indsejling og havn 2,0-2,5 meter, i efteråret kan indsejlingen dog være helt ned til 1,5 meter pga. tilsanding.

En af Limfjordens absolutte perler, beliggende mellem Nibe og Aggersund.
Haverslev Havn er nyrenoveret i 1996 og fremstår i dag som en meget smuk marina/havn med ca. 60 bådpladser.

Faciliteter

På havnen er der 2 toiletter og der er adgang til campingpladsens badefaciliteter.
På broerne er der strøm og ferskvand.
På havneområdet findes grill, borde og bænke. Ved vestsiden af havnen er en mindre badestrand.

Approaching the harbour is straightforward. The entrance is easily recognized by the port leading light, a white building with a red line across it. The moorings inside the eastern outer harbour wall are reserved for pilot boats. The end section of the pile jetty on the northern side of the E basin is reserved for the ferry which docks here for the night. This section of the jetty is marked by a yellow stripe.

Yachts should moor in the western part of the harbour, where there are moorings at pontoons with stern posts in the inner section, or in the outer part of the harbour where mooring is at fixed jetties with stern posts. It is also posssible to moor alongside the quays. The W outer basin, which was previously choppy, is now sheltered by a breakwater. In calm weather you can moor alongside the quay on the outside of the outer harbour walls.
Beware of the current running across the entrance.
The harbour is lit.

In addition to the 130-berth marina, the harbour is home to a number of recreational fishermen and some large fishing vessels in the fishing harbour. The pilot boats responsible for this part of Limfjorden also dock here. Hals Boat Club has opened its doors to visiting sailors, and the harbour is a popular destination with locals as well as visitors. Just opposite the harbour are well-preserved fortifications dating back to 1654, with a moat, powder tower and armoury, The local museum now occupies the buildings. The symbol of the town are the jawbones of a 9-tonne blue whale, which stand in the square. The jawbones of a Boryvalus, shot in the Arctic Ocean in 1868, used to be there but a lorry driver unfortunately drove into them in 1953 and, given their fragility, they did not survive. A Norwegian whaling company, based in Sandefjord, gave the town the present set.

Entry to the harbour is via a dredged channel. Depth in the channel and the harbour is 2 m. The channel is marked by two green and two red buoys. The outer ones are top-marked. There are three basins in the harbour. The marina occupies the northern basin. Mooring is at berths with stern posts. Yachts may also moor alongside the quays in the other two basins. The southern and northern jetties in the middle basin have recently been renovated with new wooden piles, electricity, light and water. The harbour is lit. When approaching at night the white vertical fluorescent light between the red and green harbour lights.

In the two southern basins the atmosphere remains that of a fishing harbour, with four registered fishing vessels. Long lines of tool sheds surround the harbour, and the boatyard with its slipway adds to the atmosphere. However, it is mostly yachts that use the harbour now.
An interesting little museum has been set up in one of the old sheds. Rows of little beach huts dominate the dunes along the beach to the S of the harbour, where there is plenty of activity throughout the summer. The shallow waters to the SW of the harbour are excellent for windsurfing.

Livø har været beboet i lige siden stenalderen, der er bl.a. fundet flinteredskaber, rav og resterne af en lerklinet hytte. 1157-1536 tilhørte Livø Vitskøl Kloster som en foræring af Valdemar den Store. Fra 1600 - 1700-tallet var der to gårde på Livø, der blev drevet af fæstebønder. I begyndelsen af 1700-tallet skænkede Frederik IV og dronning Louise et lille kapel til øens beboere. Det var kun 3 meter bredt men overdådigt udsmykket. 1911 overtog "Den Kellerske Anstalt" øen. Den blev et sted, hvor åndssvage og ofte kriminelle mænd blev holdt fanget. De kunne gå frit rundt på øen, hvor de skulle passe landbrug, skov, mejeri og værksteder, da Livø stort set var selvforsynende. Flere forsøgte at flygte, hvilket oftest havde en uheldig udgang. På den tid havde Livø 200 beboere, hvor halvdelen var de åndssvage og den anden halvdel bestod af ansatte og deres familier. De hvide huse med de røde tage, som man i dag kan se på øen, stammer fra denne periode. 

Der er et rigt dyreliv på Livø. Sæler lever længst ude på den fredede og utilgængelige Livø tap.
Rådyr og dådyr græsser vildt i skovene. Hede, fyr, egeskov og bratte skrænter langs kysterne veksler på Livø med enebærkrat, strandenge og Nobilisgran. Det hele omkranset af Limfjordens blå vande, gør en vandretur på øens stier til en unik og varieret naturoplevelse med minder fra stenalder og istid.

Limfjordens største marina har med sin fine beliggenhed og mange gode faciliteter tiltrukket fastliggende lystsejlere fra et stort geografisk område. I takt med stigningen i antallet af faste kunder - og deres tilfredshed - har rygtet spredt sig til de havne, som vore sejlere besøger. I sommermånederne summer havnen af solskin og liv. En skøn forening af landkrabber, turister, fastliggende og gæstesejlere. Alle medvirker til at skabe den stemning og det specielle miljø, som så mange sætter pris på. Den gode omtale har således bevirket, at flere kommer for at få syn for sagen.

Allerede for næsten 1.000 år siden valgte Knud den Hellige at bruge egnen omkring Struer som udgangspunkt for togterne til England. Dette eksempel har en lang række progressive virksomheder siden valgt at følge, når de skulle "erobre verden".

I 1856 blev der anlagt en havn ved Struer. Holstebro-Struer Havn er i dag Limfjordens næststørste trafikhavn med en årlig gods-omsætning på ca. 300.000 tons, ligesom Holstebro-Struer Lystbådehavn er Limfjordens største.

I 1865 kom jernbanen til Struer. Struer udviklede sig til at blive en af Danmarks største jernbanebyer og var en overgang hjemsted for et af Danmarks tre jernbanedistrikter (udover København og Århus). Jernbanen er i dag Struers trediestørste arbejdsplads med over 300 ansatte.
