INTERNATIONAL VULCAN RALLY 2017
VRA Denmark is the proud host of the
13th International Vulcan Rally, held from
Thursday 17th – Sunday 20th of August,
where old friendships will be renewed and
new ones will be made.
We’ll be chatting about the motorcycles,
eating good food, drinking cold Danish
beer and singing karaoke. And of course
looking at all the beautiful bikes, that have
one thing in common: Being Vulcans!
The rally is held in Fruerlundparken on the
seashore in Øster Hurup on the eastern
coast of Northern Jutland in Denmark.
The park consists of 15 ha. fenced area with
scattered vegetation, two lakes, several
buildings including a brand new toiletbuilding – and a large parking area.
The park is entirely reserved for the rally.
On the site can be set up caravans and
tents. If you travel light, you can rent a
caravan in the park – or cabins and rooms
in close proximity to the park.
In the center of the park there will be a big
tent, where you can enjoy yourselves with
good music, each others company and
serving of original delicious Danish food.
Thursday and Friday evening there will be
live music in the tent – and naturally a bar!
Saturday will be the main day of the rally
with the traditional Ride Out. We’ll be
riding our bikes through the beautiful
Danish countryside, stopping along the
way to enjoy the scenery.
Well back at the park you may get lucky
and win prices in our big Karaoke-contest!
Here the presentation of nations, the best
bike contest and drawing of the winners in
the lottery will also take place.
We look forward
to seing you
in Denmark
in the summer
of 2017!

ØSTER HURUP
There is no denying it: Øster Hurup is the
holiday destination with the best beaches
and biggest ice creams in Denmark!
You get miles and miles of lovely sandy
beaches, and within a 10-minute walk from
the beach – in town or at the harbor –
you will find all the shops, restaurants,
pubs and cafees along with multiple
events and activities all summer.
This is all adding up to the special summer
vacation feel – and it is only a 2 minute ride
from Fruerlundparken – the place of the
International Vulcan Rally 2017!
LILLE VILDMOSE
Go exploring in Lille Vildmose – a true
Danish wilderness with impressive and
untouched nature, a unique wildlife and
a fascinating cultural history.
Lille Vildmose is the largest protected land
area in Denmark – 76 km2 – and it contains
a natural wealth. Enjoy the silence, the
smells, the wide open spaces and the fantastic flora and fauna, hiding in the marsh.
Discover golden eagles, cranes, wild boar,
red deer – and as the first place in Denmark
you can experience moose!
You can go to the bog and if you jump
you will notice the shaky ground, giving in
under you.
In the nature center you can obtain maps,
see beautiful nature films and look at the
exhibition about the bog.
HADSUND
Hadsund was established as a trading
post in 1854. The history can be relived
in Hadsund District Collection at the old
watermill farm Rosendal – in a beautiful
setting with a pond and deer park. A visit
can give a good understanding of how
the area around the outer fjord evolved.
ALS & ALS ODDE
Als and Als Odde is a scenic area, that lies
at the mouth of Mariager Fjord, where the
fjord meets the Kattegat. In the Stone Age
the area was hill islands, surrounded by
the sea. Here, archaeologists have found
the remains of 2000 year old houses.
Als Church from the 1300s has for centuries
been used as a navigational aid. From here
you have a beautiful view of the Kattegat.
KONGSDAL
At Kongsdal you can relax after a nice ride
in the area, enjoy your picnic basket or buy
refreshments in the marina cafe.
The distinctive red and white lighthouse
was found at a scrap dealer. The lighthouse
was restored and erected in 1989.
In Hadsund you can also find Mill Historical
Collection, which is Denmark’s only mill
museum. The collection focuses on the old
hydro, wind and animal-drawn mills.
The town has a large selection of supermarkets, specialty stores and restaurants.
DANIA & THE SWAN
When driving along the south side of
Mariager Fjord you should not miss out on
a walk around the charming Dania. Here
you’ll find the only place left in Denmark
where we still obtain salt from the Danish
underground. The salt factory Akzo Nobel
obtains its raw materials in a salt dome
west of Hobro where the salt naturally is
located approximately 200 m below the
surface of the earth. The factory produces
600.000 tons of salt every year.
You can in the summer season also choose
to sail with “paddle steamer” The Swan
from Mariager and Hadsund to Dania.
MARIAGER
The towns biggest tourist attraction is
Mariager Salt Center, which is located on
the harbor. Here you can learn all about
the history of salt and its use, visit an
underground salt mine and test the waters
carrying capacity, similar to The Dead Sea.
A new attraction is Mariager Rose Garden.
Experience 400 different variations of the
beautiful rose in 800 plants. The garden
covers more than 20.000 square feet, and
is particularly beautiful where the roses
bloom from May till the frost sets in.
In the summer it is possible to take a trip
by the Mariager–Handest Veteran Railway
– a scenic tour of 15 km. The railway station
is located on the harbor, and here you also
find the “paddle steamer” The Swan, with
daily sailing trips on Mariager Fjord.
The harbor in Mariager is incidentally the
meeting place for lots of bikers every day
of the week during the summer.
HOBRO & FYRKAT
Deep in Mariager Fjord is Hobro. The city is
best known for the unique viking fortress
Fyrkat, that a thousand years ago was built
a few kilometers west of the current city.
Here is also Fyrkat Viking Centre, a reconstructed viking farm with lots of activities
during the summer.
At Hobro Harbor the new meet the old, as
the area is a mix of history, atmosphere and
culture. Sydkajen is the berthing place for
the “paddle steamer” The Swan.
Further along the harbor is the Gas Museum,
which offers a unique experience.
This is also where you will find the Maritime
Cultural Center, a brand new attraction
built around Hobro old shipyard.
BRAMSLEV BAKKER
The north side of Mariager Fjord is a true
paradise for nature lovers. The hilly area
from Hobro to Stinesminde further east is
called Bramslev Bakker (Bramslev Hills).
There is access to Bramslev Bakker from
the town Valsgaard. Follow the road past
the Hotel Bramslev to the parking lot at
Restaurant Bramslev Bakker, where there
is a unique view of Mariager Fjord.
STINESMINDE
The small fishing village Stinesminde is
one of Mariager Fjord’s cultural gems. Here,
time has virtually stood still for many years.
The village Stinesminde consists today of
15-20 houses, dating from the mid-1800s.
It is possible to drive all the way down
to the beach to experience fishing or
swimming in Mariager Fjord.
