Venø - Nørskov Vig

Nørskov Vig is a coastal area that forms the northern tip of Venø.

The area is considered a type locality for the coastal type angular foreland, which is formed by several headlands growing towards each other and blocking off a beach lake, which will subsequently typically begin to grow. Similar coastal types are found elsewhere in the area, e.g. the Gjellerodde site, but Nørskov Vig can be highlighted as a particularly clear example of the coastal type.

During the maximum extent of the Littorina Sea, the sea surface in the area was approximately 2 m above the current sea level, and there was heavy erosion on both the east and west coasts of Venø. See the Veserne-Plet-Engbjerg site.

The area is designated as a National Geological Interest Area (NGI 72) and is also included in NK 87 Kås Bredning – Skibsted Fjord. The area is also biologically significant and is designated as a Natura 2000 Habitat and Bird Protection Area. Finally, the area is designated a bird/game reserve, which is why access is prohibited from April 1st to July 15th. Resting seals are frequent guests in the area.
