Himmerland Trail

Next to Silkeborg, Viborg is the Danish municipality with the most high-quality railway tracks. More than 200 km of car-free lanes leave from Viborg.
The Himmerlands route is built on the closed stretch of railway between Viborg and Løgstør.
There is access for both cyclists, hikers and riders. The trail is paved with stone flour and there is access to riding next to the trail.
The trail passes through varied and scenic landscapes, alternating between hilly moraine landscapes, moors, fjord-adjacent meadows and large meltwater valleys. Such a nature trail on a closed railway line is road-safe and has low rises – a good alternative to cycling on the roads.
The Heart trail
The Heart-trail in Hjarbæk is 3.5 km long.
The tour starts at the campsite next to the reception, and is divided into two circles. About midway you are back at the campsite, before heading for Hjarbæk fjord and Hjarbæk town.
You can get a map of the route at the reception

Golf and camping

At Hjarbæk Fjord Camping you can combine a camping holiday with a good round of golf at Hjarbæk Fjord Golf Club.
The golf courses at Hjarbæk Fjord Golf Club are always mentioned very praisingly, both by the club’s own members, but by other players from home and abroad as well. Primarily because of the difficulty of the course, their physical condition, and not least the beautiful view.
Bring your equipment in the Caravan, and get a good round of golf, in combination with your camping holiday 🙂
The guests are saying
“Festlig familiegolf weekend med ophold i to skønne hytter på Hjarbæk Fjord Camping. Natursmuk beliggenhed samt en velindrettet familiecampingplads. Den perfekte ramme for store og små, sport og afslapning.
Tak for super venlig betjening. 😀”

Canoe and SUP
Enjoy Hjarbæk Fjord on the water by going camping with a canoe.
Borrow a canoe or a SUP board and set off. Maybe you’ll meet one of the beautiful Sjægter or spot a seal on Hjarbæk Fjord.
We have our own beach, where you can certainly have a special experience. Enjoy the scenery that glides by and the sun that sets (or maybe even rises!) in the beautiful water. Follow the wind, the waves and the rhythm of the water in your own personal experience on Hjarbæk Fjord.
Contact the reception if you want to borrow a canoe or rent a SUP board for DKK 100 per hour and paddle away on Hjarbæk Fjord. It’s incredibly beautiful and peaceful.
(Canoeing is free if you stay overnight or are a regular at the campsite – day guests can rent a canoe for DKK 100 per hour)

Sea kayak

Hjarbæk Fjord looks really good from the water.
If you have a sea kayak, you can set off from the beach just below the campsite, after which you have access to the entire fjord.
There are many places to visit when you see the entire area from the water – not least the cozy harbor in Hjarbæk, where you can dock and take a walk in the harbor area and chat with the locals.
You can sea kayak on the fjord all year round. In winter you can come in your own caravan, or rent one of our heated cabins. If you rent “The little house by Hjarbæk Fjord” you have first place for your kayak, which can be put into the water 30 meters from the house.
Angling
Hjarbæk Fjord is the southernmost part of the Limfjord, and is located approx. 10 km north of Viborg and 20 km east of Skive.
The shallow Hjarbæk Fjord has inflows from four streams. In the south from Fiskbæk Å, to the northwest Jordbro Å, and on the east side Skals Å and Simested Å. If you are an angler, here are many opportunities right on the 4 rivers. Fishing licenses must be purchased from the Viborg Anglers Association or at the campsite at the reception.
Karup Å is first and foremost known for its powerful and large sea trout. Every year, sea trout weighing more than 10 kilos are caught, which is something that only a few streams in the world can do
All anglers between the ages of 18 and 65 must have a valid state fishing license to fish in Danish fishing waters, except PUT & TAKE lakes.
