Spend some quality time in a holiday home in Spottrup

Beach

The beach by Spøttrup is a good Liim Fiord beach with a bathing jetty. The beach is very suitable for children because of its shallow water.

Nature

The nature landscape of Salling offers many experiences. Enjoy f.x. a walk by Denmark's largest and most beautiful moor lake 'Flyndersø'. The 8 km long lake is surrounded by heathery areas, oak coppices, pine plantations and an amazingly rich bird life, which can be experienced at all times of the year. This is also the case by the lake 'Spøttrup Sø', where you can experience the otter if you are in luck. Marked routes, which lead you through some very beautiful area, are available by both lakes. By Spøttrup you will also find the mound 'Vendal Høj', an app. 3,500 years old grave mound from the bronze age. The mound is scenically situated in the landscape, and from the top you can enjoy an amazing view of the Liim Fiord, the area Thyholm and the bay Venøbugt. The plantation 'Ginderup Plantage' is a 50 hectares pine plantation with i.a. the only passage grave on Salling.

Activities

By Ejsingholm, just north of Vinderup, the shallow water, the calm waves and the certain wind provide surfers with good conditions. Here you will also find a surf centre with a surf school. Salling is famous for its good fishing spots, and here it is possible to fish along the shores and in the Put & Take fishponds of the area.
