Mountain biking
The western part of Jutland is home to some of the best and most demanding routes for mountain biking in Denmark. Varde Municipality has eleven of them.
You can experience top class mountain biking in six different areas: Blåbjerg Klitplantage, Bordrup Klitplantage, Søndre Plantage, Sønder Heden Plantage, Ølgod Byskov and Ansager Plantage.
Especially Blåbjerg Klitplantage is widely accepted as one of the undoubtedly best trails in Denmark and among the prestigious “10 spir”. This area has previously been the venue for the Danish national championship in mountain biking.
