The Blue Clover Leaf Trail by Skåstrup is a medium-length route along the beach, the pretty coastal meadows and the old, idyllic village of Skåstrup.

Along the route

The route begins and ends in the idyllic old village of Skåstrup, where you pass the village pond and old, well-preserved houses. The route also takes you past the holiday home area, large fields and coastal meadows.

Skåstrup Strand offers an impressive view. You can easily see Jutland and Juelsminde, and the two islands further away are Samsø and Endelave. Off to the side towards Bogense, you can see the wooded, uninhabited island of Æbelø.

Skåstrup is a lovely beach for swimming, and there is a bathing jetty if you want to go a little further out into the water. You can also catch crabs if you fancy a fun activity with the children, and in season it is also possible to net shrimps and catch sea trout here at Skåstrup.

If you have time to look out across the beach and the sea – and perhaps bring binoculars – you may also spot seals and porpoises in the water.

There is a fire pit on the beach between Møllermarksvej and Strandgyden, where you can enjoy the view and warm up by the fire. Remember to bring your own firewood.
