Voerså offers clear options for planning a stay: a ten-kilometre route, birdwatching at the harbour, canoeing at the mouth of the Voer Å and a beach right by the harbour each offer a different focus. When looking for a holiday rental, first consider what you’d like your stay to centre on: a longer route, observing nature or spending time by the water.

Route and Birdlife

The Voerså–Stensnæs route starts at Voerså Harbour and is 10 km long. It runs alongside the protected Stensnæs nature reserve and through the distinctive Østerbyen area. The reserve is home to a rich variety of birdlife. The Voerså–Stensnæs wildlife reserve protects marine and land areas around Voerså and Stensnæs as a resting and feeding area for waterbirds. The 10 km distance gives you a concrete measure for planning your day. You can also watch birds in the reserve from a birdwatching tower at the harbour. The route may change in future editions, so check the route details before setting out.

Canoeing, River and Harbour

Canoeing is possible at the mouth of the Voer Å in Voerså. Voerså Kanoudlejning offers four routes, all of which end at Voerså Harbour. Having the same endpoint makes it easy to choose a route. As route details may change, check the latest information before your trip. At Riverside Voerså, you can rent pedal boats, rowboats and canoes; also check the latest information about the operator before your trip. The Voer Å has good stocks of sea trout and brown trout, among other species, which are maintained through stocking. The routes concern the choice of course, while pedal, rowing and canoe boats concern the choice of boat type.

Beach and Finds

Voerså Beach extends along the southern mole next to Voerså Harbour and is suitable for windsurfing. When beachcombing, you may find razor clams, common pelican’s foot shells, purple snails, crabs and sea snails, among other things. Windsurfing offers a focus on water sports, while beachcombing turns your attention to finds along the shore.

Planning for Strengsholt Mose

To reach Strengsholt Mose, take the access road from Holtbjergvej via Voerså Hedevej. After crossing Strengsholt Bæk, park on the left by the forest track. Road and parking conditions may change, so check the information before driving there. The plant composition can vary with the seasons; the bog has raspberry and blackberry thickets as well as bog myrtle. Long trousers and rubber boots are recommended for your visit because blackberry thickets line the narrow paths. You can take the access and clothing advice into account when planning this nature outing.
