Ejsingholm combines a holiday area with a beach on Venø Bay and various traces of natural and local history. When choosing where to stay, you can consider whether the beach, outdoor tours or cultural heritage should be your priority. The options described differ in character and can be weighed according to your own interests.
Beach and Holiday Area
Ejsingholm Beach is in the southern part of Ejsingholm on Venø Bay and is a child-friendly beach. For visitors specifically looking for this kind of beach, this provides a clear point of reference when choosing a destination. Ejsingholm is also a holiday area with the DCU-Ejsing Camping campsite and a holiday home area. These details present the town as a holiday destination without describing individual accommodations. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether you want to focus your stay mainly on the beach or combine it with other activities in the area.
Nature and Tours
Together with the Danish Society for Nature Conservation, Ejsing Fodboldgolf has transformed 25,000 m² into an insect-friendly area. It benefits threatened butterflies, wild bees and other insects. The specific focus of this project is therefore on habitats for insects. For nature enthusiasts, this offers a different perspective from the coast: the focus here is on the animal groups mentioned and the area transformed for them.
Walking and cycling tours are possible in the area around Ejsingholm. One specific cycling connection is described by regional cycle route 20, which continues to Ejsingholm and runs from there to Lihme together with national cycle route 12. The route description was updated on 17 April 2019; check local conditions before setting out. The route described makes clear that cycle route 20 does not end at Ejsingholm, but continues together with route 12.
A kayaking leg also connects a different starting point with Ejsingholm: a description updated on 25 July 2018 gives the route from Struer to Ejsingholm as 17 km and takes it to a campsite in Ejsingholm. Route details may change, so you should check the route before setting out. The two route details answer different planning questions: the cycle route continues past Ejsingholm to Lihme, while the kayaking leg described ends at a campsite in Ejsingholm.
Local History and Cultural Heritage
The town’s name also points to its history: Ejsingholm was formerly known as Nygård; the spelling “Nyegaard” is documented in 1683. Another historical trace is Nygårdshøj near Ejsingholm. The mound is one of 35 protected prehistoric burial mounds; it is relatively large, but has been severely affected by excavations. The former town name and the burial mound represent different kinds of historical evidence: an earlier form of the name and an archaeological monument. A stay at the beach or on a tour can therefore be complemented by a look at the town’s history.
When looking for a holiday apartment, you can weigh up the different options: the beach, walking and cycling in the surrounding area, or the history of Ejsingholm. The tours also differ in their described routes and destinations, while the beach and historical traces appeal to other interests. This gives you a concrete starting point for deciding which aspect of the holiday area best suits your stay.
