Løserup: Beach, Fjord and Nature

Løserup offers several different starting points for planning your trip: Løserup Beach on Holbæk Fjord is a bathing beach with calm water and a gently sloping seabed. In Mosemark Skov, you’ll find the Bøgebjerg viewpoint and the start of a marked walking route. There is also a longer walking and cycling tour, rich birdlife and a protected settlement site. You can first decide whether you’re most interested in spending time by the water, following a particular route or exploring the natural landscape and settlement site.

Beach on Holbæk Fjord

Løserup Beach is on Holbæk Fjord and is a bathing beach. It is characterised by calm water and a gently sloping seabed. If swimming is important to your travel plans, these features give you a specific point of reference when choosing your destination. The beach is a focus in its own right, alongside the paths and viewpoints in the surrounding landscape. These details describe the beach itself, making it easier to decide between a beach-focused stay and other nature-based activities.

Viewpoints and walking routes

Mosemark Skov is home to a viewpoint called Bøgebjerg. On a clear day, the view stretches across Lammefjord, Udby Vig and Holbæk Fjord. The panorama depends on clear visibility. Also in Mosemark Skov, a marked 3.5 km walking route starts at the car park on Løserupvej. The viewpoint and the walking route offer different ways to plan your visit: you can focus on a landscape vista or on a specific route length.

Another option is the 15.5 km walking and cycling tour near Løserup. It passes through Hønsehalsskov to a bay with views of the fjord and rich birdlife. Compared with the 3.5 km walk in Mosemark Skov, this tour is considerably longer and is described as a walking and cycling tour; the shorter distance refers to a marked walking route. The distances offer a direct basis for choosing a route, while the type of tour provides another distinction to consider when planning.

Birdlife and a protected settlement site

Hønsehals Skov has very rich birdlife on both sides. Common breeding birds include shelducks, mergansers, oystercatchers and grey herons. Alongside the route information, this offers a separate nature-related focus: the birdlife is a specific feature that can guide your interest in the landscape.

The Køkkenmødding at Løserup is a preserved settlement site containing oyster and blue mussel shells. It is protected so that it can be preserved for the future in a physically, chemically and biologically undisturbed state. The protection objective therefore applies to the condition of the site as a whole, not just to the shells it contains. This purpose of preservation sets the settlement site apart from the beach, viewpoint and walking themes.

Getting to Hønsehals Skov

Bus routes 505 and 506 run from Holbæk to Tuse Næs. To visit Hønsehals Skov, get off in Løserup. Check the current departures before travelling.
