Vejlerne, Protected wetland area in Jammerbugt and Thisted Municipalities, Denmark.

The Vejlerne region encompasses 150 square kilometers of shallow lakes, reed zones, and marshes between Lønnerup Fjord and the Limfjord in northern Jutland.

The Danish state attempted to drain part of the Limfjord for agriculture in response to land losses after the Prussian war, but abandoned these plans in 1916.

The nature center along the main road between Thisted and Fjerritslev presents exhibitions detailing the natural environment and regional characteristics.

While the protected area restricts general access, visitors can observe wildlife from designated observation huts positioned along the edges and on a dam.

The reed beds within Vejlerne form the largest collection of their type in Denmark, providing nesting grounds for bitterns, black terns, and greylag geese.
