Bjerge South Beach - Reersø

The main route runs along Reersøvejen which is followed all the way to Reersø. It is a busy route.

The beach route goes from Sukkerkanalen and is an alternative route that is recommended in the summer. Where Flasken has its outlet, it must be passed via a sandbank a little out in the sea. The water level can vary, but usually not deep. It can reach an adult man (about 180 cm) to the crotch. Wading is at your own risk.

The beach route After passing the outlet, there is a field path a little up on the beach meadow. It is followed a bit westwards and then a footpath is followed southwards until the busy Reersøvej is reached. Stay on the path, as part of the area is privately owned. After that, continue to Reersø.
