    The Limfjord area offers a lot of outdoor activities, and the fjord is ideal for bathing, sailing, surfing and fishing. For the brave ones, you find areas where you can paraglide, but also diving, windsurfing and water-ski is some of the sports, which can get the adrenalin pumping.  The changing landscape offers some lovely nature experiences along the many good walking and biking trails in the area. The anglers also have good conditions here, both from bridge, beach, dinghy and fishing boats as in the areas streams, lakes and fishing parks.
