Beach and kayaking on Venø Bay

Ejsingholm Beach is located on Venø Bay in the southern part of Ejsingholm. Its designation as a family-friendly beach makes it particularly appealing to families who would like to include a day by the water in their travel plans. Kayaking is also possible on Venø Bay near Ejsingholm. One specific option for planning an active day is the kayaking stage from Struer to Ejsingholm: it is 17 km long and ends at a campsite in Ejsingholm. Take these 17 km into account when planning.

Arrival and orientation can also be planned around specific facilities. At the end of Fjordvej, there is free parking at the endpoint of the kayaking stage to Ejsingholm. There are also toilets and drinking water near Ejsingholm. For an outing on the water, you can include the free parking, toilets and drinking water in your day plan in advance.

Discover nature and explore by bicycle

A special natural feature is the 25,000 m² area transformed by Ejsing Fodboldgolf together with Danmarks Naturfredningsforening. It has been converted into an insect-friendly area that benefits endangered butterflies, wild bees and other insects. For travellers interested in nature, this creates a tangible connection to the landscape: the stay is shaped not only by water and paths, but also by the habitats protected in such an area.

Cyclists can include Ejsingholm in their plans via designated routes. Regional cycling route 20 continues to Ejsingholm and there runs together with national cycling route 12 as far as Lihme. Together with the possible hiking and cycling tours in the surrounding area, this provides a range of options for active days without requiring you to commit to just one type of excursion.

Historical traces near Ejsingholm

The area's history also offers a distinct perspective. Ejsingholm was formerly known as Nygård; the spelling “Nyegaard” is documented for the year 1683. Nygårdshøj is also located near Ejsingholm and is one of the 35 protected prehistoric burial mounds. The mound is relatively large but has been heavily affected by excavations. Anyone interested in early settlement history and archaeological traces can include this aspect in their holiday planning alongside the beach and landscape. The historical name and burial mound give Ejsingholm an additional, surprising dimension.

Which starting point suits your trip?

Ejsingholm is a holiday area with the DCU-Ejsing Camping campsite and a holiday home area.

Families interested in the family-friendly beach can give greater priority to the water area; active travellers can take the 17-km kayaking stage or cycling route 20 into account. Those who want to combine different interests will find several objectively definable holiday themes in Ejsingholm that can be considered when choosing the right location.
