Hike the undulating landscape in the Fosdalen forest and the Lien coastal hills. The well-marked trails are relatively short, but the terrain can be exhausting. The longest trail is 11 km, but you can cut it short in several spots, and also extend it. The hiking trails here are highly rated and include highlights such as holy springs, wild woodland, heaths, ancient barrows, and the highest hill of the entire region (Bavnehøj). There are two public toilets and options for camping overnight.

Galleri Lien
Large art gallery with changing exhibitions of modern and contemporary art.
Three short and marked trails in the Svinkløv coastal woodlands. Do one or them all in one hike, they are 4.3 km (red), 3.2 km (yellow), and 4.5 km (also red) respectively. The yellow route is the easiest way to pack in a varied experience, ranging from pine forest and dune heath, to a surprising ravine with deciduous woodland and abundant honeysuckle. The honeysuckle blooms in June and July and covers the valley in their overpowering scent. There is a public toilet at the parking lot near the Svinkløv beach hotel. One of the red trails reach southward along the coastal bluffs, an area known as Svinklovene. The grasslands are maintained by wild horses and the hills presents grand vistas of the North Sea coast.
Grønnestrand Mølle
Nice old heather-covered mill, and the only one of its kind in Denmark. It was built in 1876 with driftwood and restored in 1990. Can only be experienced from the outside.
Woodland immediately north of Fjerritslev. Three short, marked trails of 4 km (green), 6.4 km (blue), and 1.4 km (yellow), respectively. The forest is mostly conifer, with heathland in between and a central bare hill. Look out for mountainbikers. There is a public toilet at a shelter near the hill in the middle of the forest. The short yellow trail leads you around another local hilltop, presenting great vistas across the landscape and two Stone Age passage graves.The trails in Kollerup Plantage connects to the nature site of Grønnestrand and to the Svinkløv Plantage further north.
Unique and well-preserved ancient passage grave from the Stone Age, built by the Funnelbeaker Culture more than 5000 years ago. It is possible to enter the three empty chambers on occassion. Many other ancient barrows in the area, but Hvisselhøj is the most interesting one. If you go south, past the farm at the road bend, you will find a public trail to the tiny nature site of Alsbjerg Hills. There is a great view across the landscape from the hill top there, itself an ancient barrow.
Nice small park, but avoid after heavy rain.
