On the hike, you will pass Bovbjerg Minimuseum, Ferring Church, Jens Søndergaards Museum, and last but not least Ferring Lake – a large beautiful nature experience. Here you will be walking between the lake and the North Sea with a view to Vejlby Dune, a summerhouse area.
After app. 13 km you will arrive at Victoria Street St. (no kidding). If you wish to experience the famous VLTJ-train you can go onboard and continue to Harboøre. This is a cosy and very special westcoastal experience.
After a good day’s hike in the salty wetwind you will spend the secound night at Harboøre Hotel, situated in the little western town.

This is a good place for rest and reflection, you may sit down in the grass and enjoy the peace for a while. Thoughts, quotes, and greetings are more than welcome on a stone brought along, which we invite you to leave here as a memory – a greeting for the future bypassers.
In Thyborøn, more attractions await you, like The Seashell, Sea War Museum, Jutland’s Aquarium, Iskunsten – and how about a ride on a Puch Maxi, the legendary retro moped, or a surf lesson with Thyborøn Surfcentre?

Information omkring cykelferien
Det er desværre ikke muligt at medbringe sin hund på nogle af vores cykelferier i øjeblikket, da et par af vores hoteller på begge cykelruter ikke tillader det.
Dog må man medbringe hund på nogle af vores vandreferier.
Ja. Skulle I af en eller anden grund være nødsaget til at afbestille jeres ferie, kan I annullere jeres booking og få refunderet det fulde beløb frem til 14 dage før feriens start. Kommer I indenfor de 14 dage, har vi ikke umiddelbart mulighed for at refundere beløbet, og man skal derfor tage fat i sin egen private rejseforsikring. Vi tager gerne dialogen med forsikringsselskabet for jer.
Ja og nej. Det er muligt på Hotel Tante og Seaside Hotel, men desværre ikke på sidste overnatning, Hotel Havbadet i Nørre Vorupør.
Vedersø Klit:
Der er pt. ingen el-ladestandere i Vedersø Klit. De nærmeste steder, hvor det er muligt at oplade sin el-bil er i Ulfborg (13km fra Vedersø Klit) eller Thorsminde (16km fra Vedersø Klit):
-Ved Borgerservice, Thingvej 5, 6990 Ulfborg
-Ved ABC, Harbogade 17, 6990 Ulfborg
-Ved Stabil Service, Industriarealet 63, 6990 Ulfborg
-Ved Min Købmand, Vesterhavsgade 8, Thorsminde, 6990 Ulfborg
Du/I cykler som udgangspunkt for jer selv, selvom det selvfølgelig er muligt at møde andre rejsedeltagere på jeres tur.
1. dag (Thorsminde – Fjaltring):
Her vandrer I primært langs stranden, som er en smuk og hård oplevelse, da sandet kan være løst flere steder.
2. dag (Fjaltring – Harboøre):
I starter dagen med at bevæge jer ned mod stranden og Høfde Q i Fjaltring, hvor I vandrer i ca. 2 kilometer langs stranden, inden I møder trappen mod Trans Kirke og stien mod Bovbjerg Fyr. På den resterende del af turen mod Harboøre, vil I opleve et vekslende underlag med stenmel, grusveje, stier med hårdt sand (specielt omkring Ferring Sø) og asfalterede cykelstier omkring Vrist.
3. dag (Harboøre – Thyborøn):
Denne dag vandrer I igennem det smukke naturområde ved Harboøre Tange, som tager jer videre mod vandreferiens sidste overnatning i Thyborøn. I vandrer på et fast underlag med stenmel på cykelstien mellem Harboøre og Thyborøn, men I har også mulighed for at tage afstikkere til stranden, hvis I ønsker et mere vekslende underlag på turen.
4. dag (Thyborøn – Agger):
Fra Thyborøn Hotel til færgelejet ved Sydhavnen i Thyborøn, vandrer I langs landevejen eller asfalterede og mindre veje omkring havnen. Fra færgelejet på Agger Tange, følger I den asfalterede cykelsti i 2,5 kilometer, inden I kan vælge at dreje til venstre og følge „Redningsvej‟ (vores klare anbefaling) mod Agger, som er en god blanding mellem lidt grus-sti i starten, hårdt sand det meste af ruten og en lille smule beton-sti (lige før Agger). Det er også muligt at fortsætte ad den asfalterede cykelsti mod Agger, men det er ikke den mest charmerende mulighed.
Det kan være en smule besværligt at komme frem til Vedersø Klit med offentlig transport, men det kan selvfølgelig lade sig gøre.
Vi henviser til www.rejseplanen.dk.
Hvis I har tilkøbt bagagetransport, afleveres den bagage, som I ikke ønsker at slæbe med rundt med på turen, ved jeres vandreferies startsted. Her udleveres nogle gule bagagelabels med jeres navn på, som sættes på bagagen. Vores chauffører vil herefter hente det og bringe det til jeres første overnatningsted, imens I vandrer afsted. Ligeså bliver det hentet og bragt til jeres anden og tredje overnatningssted samt hentet, når ferien for jer slutter.
Der vil være nogle tidspunkter, som skal overholdes ift. jeres henstilling af bagage til vores chauffører. Disse tider vil fremgå af det materiale, som I får ved en evt. booking.
Betingelser vedr. bagagen:
– Maks. 1 stk. bagage pr. person
– Bagagen må maks. veje 15 kg pr. stk
Der er helt sikkert en mulighed for at få forlænget jeres ferie, hvad enten I ønsker en ekstra overnatning før eller efter cykelferien.
Vi vil gerne se, om vi kan være behjælpelige med at booke en ekstra overnatning for jer eller I kan vælge selv at tage kontakt til det ønskede overnatningssted. Herunder er listet nogle muligheder:
Vedersø Klit (startsted):
– Vedersø Klit Camping
Tæt på Vigsø (Slutsted):
– Hotel Havbadet Nørre Vorupør (anbefalet)
– Guesthouse Klitmøller (anbefalet)
– Montra Hotel Hanstholm (anbefalet)
Hvis I stadig ønsker at benytte jer af vores hjemtransport tilbage til startstedet og gerne vil forlænge jeres ferie med én eller flere dage, – giv os da besked, så vi kan undersøge om der er plads i minibussen på den nye hjemrejsedag. Er vi nødsaget til at indsætte en ekstra bil og chauffør pga. pladsmangel, vil I blive opkrævet en merbetaling på 1.495kr.
I betaler hele beløbet for jeres vandreferie, når I booker inde i vores bookingsystem.
