Binoculars are best; today I was lucky enough to observe a lapwing even without them

On the circular tour around the fjord, you have to cross the Skjern Å twice using a hand-operated ferry. Pulling the ferry across the water is quite easy, but the gates are relatively heavy. If you are standing in front of it alone, a bit more muscle power is required. The solid sandy path has probably been newly renovated recently and is very easy to ride on!

A quick update for all hikers: the bridge is intact and passable. A maximum of two people are allowed on it at a time. Enjoy hiking through the beautiful landscape, right by the water! 🥾🥰 (As of May 31, 2025)

Hello, the bridge has been repaired properly. Many thanks to the hard-working craftsmen. It's definitely worth taking the circular walk, and especially in the area in front of and around this bridge, you can observe and hear a lot of birds. In addition to swans and geese, we also heard reed buntings, sedge warblers, and yellow wagtails. This was actually the most beautiful part of the hike.
