Tour Description:

The trip begins at Løgstør Rowing Club. You can choose to row through Løgstør Habour to the east and then row to the west, but the waters at Løgstør Grunde are very shallow and you will have to row far off the coast and follow the fairway into Løgstør Bredning. When you get to deeper waters, you will then row to the south until you reach the summer cottage area at Lendrup Strand. Alternatively, you may also choose to row the first part of the trip (approx. 5 km) in the Frederik VII’s Canal until you reach the lagoon at Lendrup Strand. The exit is silted and you will have to shortly carry your kayak to reach open water. 

The trip continues southwards along steep cliffs towards Rønbjerg. A little south of Næsby Hage a few clefts cut into the cliffs. In the southernmost cleft, a path leads to a viewpoint at an old dance hall. Parking is possible, but it will be difficult to carry kayaks up from the beach. 

A ferry leaves from Rønbjerg Habour to Livø, where you can find a fine fishmonger. 

The trip continues southeast. Vistkøl Abbey (Vitskøl Kloster) is located at the outlet of Bjørnsholm River. 

The trip ends at Ertebølle. You can go ashore at the head of Ertebølle Hoved.
