Uggerby River
Uggerby Å (Uggerby Creek)
The 66 km long creek winds its way through the area of Hjørring, Sindal, Mosbjerg, Bindslev and Uggerby. The source of the creek is located just south of Hjørring in Sterup and it ends in Tannisbugten between Hirtshals and Tversted.
You can sail with canoe from Ilbro until Tannisbugten, a 50 km long trip through beautiful nature. In Bindslev you find the old powerhouse and it is defiantly worth a visit. Here you are able to read about the history and how the machines worked. You will also find a great nature playground for the little ones.
