The place has had new operators for 2 years who are lovingly setting everything up. It is worth staying for 1-2 days to explore the steep coast with the lighthouse (-cafe), the beach (pebbles, little sand) and the Ferring Lake. Sanitary facilities and common rooms are clean and very nicely designed

From this scenic spot, you can see the Limfjord in all its greatness. Actually, this fjord is huge and extends from Thyborøn Channel on the North Sea to Hals on the Kattegat. It is approximately 180 kilometres long.

Ferring Sø is an inland lake that lies directly on the North Sea. It couldn't be more beautiful. A beautiful, rugged part of Denmark's west coast. The lake is only separated from the sea by a narrow sand dike. A complete circuit is about 9km.

For 25 DKK (adults) you can visit the Sneglehuset Museum. It's quite small and consists of two rooms: a room where you can watch a film about the making of Sneglehuset (in Danish or German) and an exhibition room with lots of shell details, which is lovingly designed.

Really a nice route along the North Sea coast. On the way you can make a lot of meters with the gravel.
