Ejby: Forest, bog and beaches in the surrounding area

Forest and bog around Ejby

Immediately north of Ejby lies Vestermose Skoven, covering approximately 46 hectares. In the southern part of Vestermose Skoven there is the “Sundhedsspor” fitness trail, where you can test your fitness. Its location in the southern part of the forest can be taken into account when finding your way around the area.

East of Ejby lies Ejby Mose, one of Funen’s largest bog areas, with reed beds, peat lakes and meadows. In the bogland east of Ejby, reed beds, peat lakes and meadows form different landscape features for observing nature on site. A total of 245 different plant species have been recorded in Ejby Mose. Nature enthusiasts can plan to focus on the diversity of plants in Ejby Mose alongside the reed beds, peat lakes and meadows. Those specifically looking for plant diversity can use the 245 species as a reference point; those who want to compare landscapes can focus on the reed beds, peat lakes and meadows.

When combining walking and cycling, the choice of mode of transport remains open, while the marked route is 4.8 km long. There is also a fire pit in the area of the route. A break at the fire pit can be planned into the same section of the route. For day planning, the route can be treated as a separate activity section.

Outdoor overnight stays and dog run

Vestermose Skoven has a shelter for overnight stays outdoors. Vestermoseskoven near Ejby also has an approximately 5-hectare fenced dog run. Dogs may run off leash there under the supervision of their owners. When planning a stay, these two points can be considered separately: the shelter concerns overnight stays outdoors, while the dog run concerns supervised off-leash exercise. For travellers with dogs, being off leash is subject to supervision by their owners. The stated size of approximately 5 hectares refers to the fenced dog run and not to Vestermose Skoven as a whole.

Beaches in the surrounding area

Varbjerg Strand is a beach in the area around Ejby. The same applies to Skåstrup Strand and Aborg Strand. The three beaches add a beach focus to travel planning alongside the natural areas around Ejby. Those who want to combine forest, bog and beach can plan Varbjerg Strand, Skåstrup Strand or Aborg Strand as a separate focus. This keeps a beach day separate in the planning from the route through Ejby and Kingstrup Mose and from the Sundhedsspor fitness trail.

Other places for orientation include Viby, Gelsted Sogn, Bro, Brenderup, Hjorte, Middelfart, Røjle and Husby.
