The islands and peninsulas in Destination Limfjorden
"To travel is to live" - H.C. Andersen
Each island and peninsula have different experiences – some has many local galleries, some has small attractions, and some are known for their local restaurants and breweries. But one thing they all have in common is the beautiful nature, surrounded by our beautiful Limfjord.
Below you will find a small selection of the things you can experience on each island and peninsula.
Try also one of the boat trips, where you sail to a selection of islands and learn about the nature and the islands along the way. You can for instance try ”Island hopping to the island Livø”, where you for instance will see seals. You can also try a boat trip with a guide around the island Fur and you can sail with Denmark’s smallest ferry, Venøsund, from the island Venø.
