Highlights Ulbjerg - Viborg

• 0 km: Ulbjerg

  The start

  You start your ride through town and pass Ulbjerg Kultur og Fritidscenter, which provide good framework for the local sports clubs.

  Ulbjerg is situated in a beautiful fjord landscape with the 30 meter tall Ulbjerg Cliff down towards the fjord and the beach, where you can go for a swim in the summer.

  The area is also popular with hikers all year round, and during the spring a special type of flower covers everything in purple.

• 6 km: Sundstrup Habour

  Breath in the fresh sea air

  On this route, the fresh sea air is a constant companion.

  Continuing from here, you enter the countryside and experience the area's biggest biogas plant, which provides heating for the local residents.

• 12 km: Hjarbaek Fjord

  Holiday paradise at Hjarbaek Fjord

  Do you like fishing or golf, camping or summerhouse?
