See the hiking trails 

At Louns, the entire nature of Vesthimmerland is gathered in one place. High hills, deep valleys, forests, lakes, heathland, and beaches, among others. The hilly landscape was formed by glacial deposits, where the ice left behind a landscape with large, smooth hills, and subsequent meltwater and rainwater have eroded the landscape, forming gorges down towards the coast.

In several places, there are small forests with oak groves that appear old and gnarled like a real enchanted forest. The outermost part of Louns is now protected, and along marked footpaths, you can descend to the flat beach where you often find a spot sheltered from the winds from Limfjorden. Here, you can take a dip in the clean bathing water, enjoy the magnificent view, and savor the tranquility, while swallows busy themselves flying in and out of the holes in the cliff.

There is also a nature campsite at Lovns where you have the opportunity for free overnight stays in a bivouac.
