Glyngøre

About This Anchorage

Glyngøre is a traditional Limfjord fishing village best known for the Sallingsund bridge (1978) which now connects the Salling peninsula to Mors island. The village has a small, active fishing harbour with a fleet of traditional Limfjord fishing smacks. Fresh eels — the Limfjord's most famous product — are available from the quay in summer, along with fresh flatfish and perch. The anchorage east of the harbour is comfortable in northerlies on excellent mud holding. The village has a basic shop and a summer fish restaurant at the harbour. The Sallingsund bridge has 26m clearance — yachts with air draught above 26m must turn back here. The scenery around Glyngøre is flat but characteristically Limfjord: reeds, willows, and distant church spires.

Hazards

• !Sallingsund bridge — air draught limit 26m; check before proceeding east
• !Active fishing harbour — give working boats clear access at all times
• !Open to south and west across Limfjord — in southerly above F4 uncomfortable
• !Draught limit 2.0m throughout Limfjord
• !Eelgrass on south shore

Skipper's Tips

• →Buy fresh Limfjord eels directly from the fishing boats at the quay — smoked eel (røget ål) is Denmark's finest local delicacy
• →The Sallingsund bridge is photogenic — anchor in the evening light with the bridge reflected in the still water
• →If heading east through the bridge: check air draught carefully (26m fixed); Skive Fjord is 15nm east
• →The Mors island (north side of bridge) has the excellent Morslands Historiske Museum covering Stone Age finds
• →Glyngøre is a good last stop before the westward run to Thyborøn — stock up on fuel and provisions at Thisted (25nm NW) first
