A very good and diverse breakfast at Dronninglund Castle got us launched into Monday's activities.
Heading southeast through the countryside we stopped and chatted a bit with a flock of Zwartbles sheep; a Dutch Friesland race that is very rare in DK.
In wet and cold weather we arrived in the village of Hou at the Kattegat shore on the east coast of Jutland. A not-too-exciting parking lot near the beach was chosen for a coffee-and-croissant break.
The town of Hals at Limfjorden's east exit/entrance is also home of pilot boats and Denmark's last two large icebreakers afloat: Isbjørn and Danbjørn. The icebreakers have been inactive and out-of-job for many, many years.
We boarded the small shuttle ferry in Hals and crossed Limfjorden to Egense on its south coast.
About 15 km south of Limfjorden we visited Lille Vildmose, a vast wilderness of mostly bogs and moorlands.
We looked for moose and otters but saw "only" various birdlife.
Lille Vildmose is Denmark’s biggest protected region with its 7600 hectares.
This and neighbouring fields adjacent to the wilderness are where the famous Lille Vildmose potatoes are produced.
We are spending our indoor hours until tomorrow morning in an AirBnB in the tiny village of Dokkedal and are preparing ourselves for Tuesday's westbound stage to Nibe.
