Fur (alternative older spelling: Fuur) is a Danish island in the Limfjord. It is located just north of Salling peninsula in Skive municipality. As of 2022, the island covers an area of 21.8 km2 and has a total population of 752.[1] The village of Nederby is the largest town on the island.
In 2010, readers of the Danish newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad voted for Fur as "Denmark's most wonderful island", ahead of Læsø and Ærø.[2] The island is linked to the mainland through a 24-hour ferry, the Sleipner-Fur ferry, sailing from Branden. The crossing of the Fur Strait takes 3–4 minutes.[3]
