Surroundings and experiences
Øster Hurup Camping is situated only 150 m from the clean and safe beach ideal for children, where you can enjoy surfing and fishing too.
Øster Hurup is a real Danish seaside resort with a lot of activities, such as angling, crazy golf, tropical aqua centre, surfing, cycling, riding.
The nature in the area varies a lot, and suggestions, below described in details, about walking, cycling, or driving by car e.g. through Lille Vildmose, around Mariager Fjord, or a tour on the former railway line Randers/Hadsund/Aalborg which now is a cycle path.
Nice and cosy restaurants, good shops, and an “El Dorado” for night owls.
The harbour is full of life and activities. The atmosphere and surroundings are kept as in the good old days, when the fishing still thrived.
A tour to Rold Skov with a walk in the Rebild Bakker and a visit to Thingbæk Kalkminer is a good way to spend an afternoon. Or take a trip with the paddle steamer “Svanen” on Mariager Fjord.
Among the museums in the area are Als Hjemstavnsmuseum, Hadsund Egns Museum, Nordjysk Motorsamling, Saltmuseet, Cirkus Museet, and the Vikingecentret Fyrkat.
It is also worth while to visit the manors in the area. E.g. is the white horse on which King Christian X crossed the German border by the reunion in 1920 burried near Visborggård. You can also visit the manors Ravnborg, Wiffertsholm, Havnø, and Willestrup with its beautiful baroque garden.
Øster Hurup Camping is only a thirty minutes´ drive from Aalborg with many cosy and special shops together with the Zoo, the Marinemuseum, Lindholm Høje, Aalborg Historiske Museum etc.
It only takes an hour to drive to Djurs Sommerland, Fårup Sommerland, and Aquapark, where the whole family can have a lot of fun.
