DJURSLAND A POPULAR HOLIDAY DESTINATION
Fjellerup and the surrounding area offers several scenic cycling routes suitable for both experienced cyclists and families looking for a relaxed ride. The area around Djursland is known for its varied terrain with hills, forests, and beautiful coastlines that make it a pleasure to explore by bike.
One of the most popular routes is along the north coast, where you can cycle from Fjellerup Strand to Bønnerup Harbour. This route offers great views of the Kattegat and is relatively flat, making it suitable for all ages. Along the way you’ll find small villages and cosy places where you can take a break and enjoy nature.
Fjellerup Strand is a popular spot for anglers who want to fish with a fishing rod. The long, wide beach with clear water and varied seabed makes it an ideal place for coastal fishing. The area is known for its good fishing opportunities, with flatfish such as plaice and flounder being common, but sea trout and garfish can also be caught here in season.
The beach is easily accessible and has good conditions for both experienced fishermen and beginners. The calm waves and clean water make it easy to cast your line from the shore, and the fresh sea air and beautiful nature around the beach make fishing a pleasure.
The Museum in Fjellerup is a little gem for those interested in the history of fishing. The museum provides a fascinating insight into the traditional bottom net fishing that has been practised in the area for generations. Bottom net fishing is an ancient method where large nets were set up close to the shore to catch fish as they followed the current along the seabed.
At the museum, visitors can see authentic bottom nets and fishing gear used by local fishermen. There are also exciting exhibitions that tell the story of the fishermen’s daily lives, their challenges and working methods. The museum provides a unique opportunity to understand how fishing has been a lifeline for the local community in Fjellerup and the rest of Djursland. Fun for both adults and children, borrow a fishing net and see if they can catch a small fish!
