The bathing beach on Jammerland Bay and the birdlife at Flasken give Bjerge two distinctive highlights. There are also trails by the Sukkerkanalen, as well as fishing opportunities in the canal and from Bjerge Klint. This lets you focus your stay on swimming, nature or fishing.

Coast and bathing beach

The approximately 9 km stretch of coast on Jammerland Bay runs from Råmosegrøften via Ugerløse Strand and Svallerup Strand, continuing to Bjerge Nord- and Sydstrand and on to the Sukkerkanalen. This sequence provides a guide along the coast and helps distinguish the different beach names. Paths lead from both sides of the Sukkerkanalen to the bathing beach on Jammerland Bay.

The water at Bjerge Sydstrand is shallow and calm, making it suitable for swimming with the family. At the southern end of the beach, there is a beach volleyball court and a playground. This means that this stretch of beach combines swimming opportunities with two specific options for activity and play. You can choose your beach according to what you would like to focus on: calm water for swimming, or time at the southern end with its volleyball court and playground.

Flasken, birdlife and Halleby Å

Reersø Vejle and Flasken make up a 285-hectare area that has been protected since 1979. Flasken is home to a rich and diverse birdlife throughout the year, and the area there has protected bird area status. Its protected status and year-round birdlife make Flasken a nature destination in its own right, alongside the bathing beach. If you are especially interested in birds, you can take this into account when choosing your outings, without needing to plan around a particular season.

An accessible path runs along the Sukkerkanalen. This provides a specific point of interest beyond the beach for visitors who would like to include a walk by the canal in their stay. Halleby Å at Bjerge Sydstrand is part of Åmosen/Tissø Nature Park. Bjerge therefore offers a focus on the coast and waterways, as well as protected landscapes and the nature park.

Fishing and practical information

Fishing in the Sukkerkanalen is free. There are also good fishing opportunities from Bjerge Klint. As well as swimming and nature watching, two specific fishing spots are mentioned: the canal and Bjerge Klint. At Fårehuset, there are tables and benches where visitors can enjoy food and drinks. This is a specific place to sit down and have something to eat or drink during your stay.

The access restriction at Fællesfolden is also important when finding your way around the water: entering Fællesfolden is not permitted. However, you can walk along the shore to the outlet of Halleby Å. On the Bjerge Sydstrand–Reersø route, you have to cross a sandbank some distance offshore at the outlet of Flasken; wading is at your own risk. Water depth and crossing conditions can vary. Bear this in mind when planning your crossing.
