Varde Å

If you are interested in beautiful natural experiences, you should visit Varde Å, which originates from the confluence between the Grindsted and Ansager streams and flows north from Esbjerg near Ho Bugt. The area is quiet, offers an exciting nature and is rich in flora and fauna. Here you can enjoy long walks, canoeing or fishing.

Canoeing

Rent a canoe and let yourself be driven down through fields and meadows, where anglers try their luck from the shore, row through Varde and past the Nordholm Gods and Sig Fiskeri, which is one of Denmark's largest pond establishments. Canoeing is both fun and challenging and an obvious choice if you are looking for a common activity for the entire family or friends. If such an experience sounds appealing to you, then you can rent good canoes at reasonable prices at the BTG canoe rental, which is located close on the outskirts of Varde and near the stream.

Angling

Each year, people from both Denmark and other countries visit Varde Å, because it features many different fish varieties. The stream houses among other things, river trout, pike and grayling and in recent years, the stock of salmon and sea trout has also increased considerably, which has made the stream even more attractive for fishing enthusiasts.
