All the way around the Lim- fjord it is possible to follow the Limfjord Route (National Cycling Route no. 12), which totals 610 km. Thanks to the many bridges and nine small ferries it is possible to take a shortcut and thus follow the Limfjord Route as far as you please. On the way you can of course make a detour to one or more of the Limfjord islands. It is also possible to follow the National Cycling Route no.2, which starts in Hanstholm and pas- ses the island of Mors before leaving the Lim- fjord Land in Viborg. Finally there is the path Himmerlandsstien from Viborg to Løgstør, which has been constructed on a former railway line. Maps and tour descriptions can be bought in the tourist offices (see the back page).

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

  • Tre Foredrag På Lemvig Museum Om
    Tre foredrag på Lemvig Museum om ”Den regulerede Limfjord” Museerne omkring den vestlige Limfjord er gået sammen om en større undersøgelse af de menneskeskabte forandringer af Limfjorden. Undersøgelsen har fået titlen: ”Den regulerede Limfjord” Formålet med undersøgelsen er at sætte fokus på menneskets regulering af naturen i Limfjordsområdet. Vi vil se på, hvordan mennesker gennem tiden har påvirket landskabets udseende og funktion og på de ideologier og politiske diskussioner, der har ligget til grund for og styret reguleringen af Limfjorden. Et centralt tema i undersøgelsen er at se på, hvordan de 3 hovederhverv ved Limfjorden - handel, landbrug og fiskeri - har haft interesse i at regulere fjorden til erhvervets fordel, og hvordan der i de seneste 30 år er opstået en ny miljødiskussion med argumenter omkring naturgenopretning og tilbageregulering af naturen til ’det oprindelige’, samt en ny diskussion som fokuserer på konsekvenser af klimaændringer. Limfjordsmuseerne vil i undersøgelsen fokusere på, hvordan erhvervsinteresser og skiftende miljødiskussioner har sat deres spor i landskabet omkring Limfjorden. Som en optakt til undersøgelsen har Lemvig Museum og Nordvestjysk Folkeuniversitet arrangeret tre foredrag, som på forskellig måde belyser sider af ”Den regulerede Limfjord”. Torsdag den 6. november kl. 19.30 på Lemvig Museum: Kystteknisk Chef ved Kystdirektoratet Per Sørensen: ”Orkanen lukkede Thyborøn Kanal i nat” Ser en avisoverskrift sådan ud i 8. januar 2055? Siden havet gennembrød Thyborøn Tangen i 1862, har vi mennesker kunstigt holdt Thyborøn kanal åben ind til Limfjorden.

Collaboration has paved the road to success in North Denmark. Over the years, we have successfully moved the region in the right direction through a number of important parameters. Together, we have generated development and growth that benefit the whole of North Denmark, based on a common understanding of the region’s challenges and opportunities. We want to continue this targeted work in a new Strategy for Regional Development (RUS) for the 2020-2023 period. This strategy differs significantly from our previous Regional Strategy for Growth and Development (REVUS), as business development will no longer be one of the Regional Council’s focuses, in accordance with national policy. Instead, there are plenty of other areas and potential to address, such as education, developing the skills of the future workforce, the green transition, climate change adaptation, the environment and international collaboration. We are also working with public transport and infrastructure, as well as initiatives for North Denmark’s rural areas, nature and culture.

The commercially most important fishery was for herring, Clupea harengus, which spawned in the Limfjord. This fishery underwent large changes in these centuries. High landings occurred in two periods in the early 18th and again in the early 19th centuries, when 4000–8000 metric tonnes were caught annually. In 1830, the fishery collapsed and landings were <1000 tonnes until the 1910s. Even during the 20th century using modern fishing techniques, the herring fishery never exceeded 7000 tonnes. The collapse was most likely due to unsustainable fishing practices (direct impacts on adults, juveniles, larvae and eggs). The second most important fishery of the Limfjord was the eel fishery.

Species description Scientific names: Spartina anglica C.E. Hubbard 1968, Poaceae, Magnoliophyta Synonyms: Spartina x townsendii sensu lato; Spartina x townsendii fertile amphidiploid; Spartina x townsendii agg. Note: Spartina anglica (2n=122-124) was the result of chromosome doubling by Spartina x townsendii H. and J. Groves (2n=61-62), the sterile hybrid between the ‘native’ small cord-grass Spartina maritima (Curtis) Fernald (2n=60) and the introduced North American smooth cord-grass Spartina alterniflora Loiselle (2n=62) (Gray et al. 1991, Hammond and Cooper 2002). It is not clear whether the small cord-grass (Spartina maritima) is an indigenous species in Europe. It is partly suggested that it had been introduced into Atlantic Europe from Africa by shipping (after Wolff 2005).

Research Context & Objectives The Limfjord is a stretch of water that runs east-west across the Jutland peninsula in Denmark. Prior to 1825 it was an estuary that only connected to the open sea at its eastern (Kattegat) end. However, during a winter storm in 1825, Agger Tange, an isthmus separating the Limfjord from the North Sea, was breached and salt water intruded into the erstwhile brackish fjord. This altered the salinity, hydrography and nutrient composition of the water and drastically changed the fjord’s fisheries. The research that generated Dataset 51 focuses on the long-term development of the herring fishery, the largest of the Limfjord’s fisheries in the early modern era.
