Mors Island Morsø

In the Limfjord there are numerous islands both large and small, the most important of which, Mors (Morsø), is reached by bridges over the Sallingsund to the south and the Vilsund to the north, or by ferries across the Neessund and Feggesund. The charm of Mors lies mainly in its magnificent scenery. Especially impressive is the Hanklit in the north, a 65m/200ft high crag which falls almost vertically down to the sea and contains animal and plant fossils of the Tertiary period. Ice Age glaciers have worn the rock into fantastic shapes. At the northern tip of Mors lies Feggeklit, the place where - according to legend - Hamlet is said to have killed his stepfather King Fegge. The Moler Museum exhibits fossils and diatomites (opening times given).
