THE LAND OF LIGHT
Enjoy your holiday at
the Top of
Denmark
THE LAND OF LIGHT
At the Top of Denmark you’ll be met by
hospitable locals, attractive landscapes
and fantastic white sandy beaches. You’ll
find exciting activities to occupy the whole family, in addition to which you’ll be
able to delight in the art, gastronomy and
wellness on offer in the region.
For generations, the northern tip of Denmark
has been a popular holiday destination, with its
distinctive scenery, broad sandy beaches and
proximity to the sea, which can be seen, heard
and tasted as the salt is carried inland by the
wind. The reflections of the sunlight on the sea
have also given rise to the region’s sobriquet,
the Land of Light.
Further inland, you experience a completely
different atmosphere as the coastal landscape
gives way to forest and fertile farmland. Cattle
graze on rich pastures, and watercourses meander through the countryside. The region is
criss-crossed by bridle paths and footpaths – a
paradise for enjoyable bike rides and delightful
picnics.
Regardless of whether you arrive by car, by bike
or on public transport, or whether you’re staying
at a hotel, a holiday home or a campsite, you’ll
meet people for whom it’s a point of honour to
be welcoming hosts, thus ensuring that your
particular holiday will be absolutely perfect.
Look forward to a holiday at the Top of Denmark! Depending on your mood and interests,
you can choose to relax on the beach, get out
and about in the countryside or experience art
and culture in the region’s towns and cities.

POWERFUL FORCES OF NATURE
Powerful forces
of nature
There aren’t many places in Denmark where you can find genuine untouched
landscapes, but one of the few places is indeed the Top of Denmark. The forces
of nature here are so powerful that we’ve been unable to shape and form the
countryside as we have throughout most of the rest of the country with the
establishment of fields, plantations, towns and roads.
On the headland of Skagens Odde with
the migrating dunes at Råbjerg Mile
and much of the west coast down past
Rubjerg Knude, the landscape has been
shaped by the westerly wind and ocean
currents, with the wind ensuring that
this landscape is in a constant state of
flux.
Råbjerg Mile is one of Europe’s biggest migrating dunes and has an area
of one square kilometre and a height
of up to 40 metres. The dune contains
around 4 million cubic metres of sand
and migrates at a rate of 15-20 metres a year across the headland. It engulfs everything in its path and leaves
a sand-blasted stony plain in its wake.
Any dry sand right down to the ground
water is blown away, so the plain is
pocked by several shallow lakes.
WHERE NATURE HAS PREVAILED
During the 17th and 18th centuries,
dune plantations were established
around Hirtshals and Skagen to arrest
the migration of the sand. In one area,
however, such measures remained unsuccessful – at Rubjerg Knude south
of Lønstrup. Here nature has gained
the upper hand. The westerly wind hits
the coastal cliff almost every day of
the year, loosening the grains of sand,
which are then carried over the edge
and deposited on the top. The mound of
sand gets higher every year, and even
the lighthouse on the summit is now
partly buried. A little further north, the
POWERFUL FORCES OF NATURE
church at Mårup is now at the edge of
the abyss. Parts of the churchyard have
crashed into the sea, and the church
has been dismantled, leaving only the
foundations marking the original outline of the church.
A FOOT IN EACH SEA
The entire region at the Top of Denmark
has been shaped by the wind and the
sea. The absolute tip at Skagen’s Gren
is a piece of Denmark that isn’t easy to
pin down. It’s constantly moving, depending on the direction of the wind and the
ocean currents, and can point in all directions from north to east. It’s also where
the two seas, Skagerrak and Kattegat,
meet. It’s a unique experience to wade out
and stand with a foot in each sea.

LIGHTHOUSES
The lighthouses
along our coasts
Constructed at a time when sailing on the oceans was exceptionally
perilous, the region’s lighthouses bear witness to exciting stories of
shipwrecks and human fates. They are impressive structures, and if
you venture up to the top, you’ll be rewarded by fantastic views.
LIGHTHOUSES
Denmark is an island nation and shipping has had great
importance ever since the Viking Age. Low coasts and
sandbanks made navigation hazardous at night and in
poor visibility, as evidenced by the thousands of wrecks
along the coasts, with more than 10,000 wrecks being
registered by the Danish Agency for Culture. The waters
around the Top of Denmark were particularly difficult to
navigate due to the low coasts and submerged sandbanks.
The first Danish beacon was erected in Skagen in 1561 and was
replaced by a bascule light in 1627.
During the course of the 16th century a lively maritime
trade arose between North Jutland and southern Norway.
The vessels that sailed between the two countries were
flat-bottomed and could land directly on the beach at
Løkken, Lønstrup and Tornby. Grain and butter were exported to Norway, with timber and iron traded in return.

LIGHTHOUSES
The lighthouse on the islands of Hirsholmene guides ships
around the treacherous stone reef on the approach to
Frederikshavn.
Later, this foreign trade was plied by larger ships
from bigger ports on the east coast of Jutland and
Denmark’s islands. Denmark was one of the world’s
great seafaring nations, and all ships had to navigate
around Skagen’s Gren in order to head out onto the
world’s oceans. However, the large, deep-draught
ships were vulnerable to the treacherous sandbanks
that were constantly moving depending on the wind
and the currents. Rounding Skagen’s Gren at night
was extremely perilous, and many didn’t make it.
The numerous wrecks provided a welcome source of
income to the local fishermen and farmers, who – at
the same time – risked their lives to save thousands
of stranded sailors.
As technology progressed, beacons and lighthouses
were developed to guide the seafarers.
The lighthouse at Rubjerg Knude Fyr was erected more than 200 m inland, but the
coast has gradually been eroded. It is expected that the lighthouse will crash into
the sea within the next 10-15 years.

The first Danish beacon was constructed in Skagen
in 1561 on the orders of King Frederik II. It was basically just a fire and not particularly effective. In 1627
it was replaced by Vippefyret. This bascule light was
a construction in which an iron basket containing
burning coal could be raised some 10 m into the air.

LIGHTHOUSES
The grey lighthouse in Skagen is still in service, but the buildings have been converted into a bird experience centre. It’s possible to
climb up the 46-m-high lighthouse.
Over the next 300-400 years numerous increasingly tall lighthouses were erected along the Danish
coasts, in addition to which lightships were placed
at dangerous locations in the open sea. Today, modern navigation technology has made lighthouses
less critical for shipping, and many of them have
been taken out of service. The lighthouses have as
far as possible been preserved as culture historical

in the west around Skagen’s Gren to the islands of

no less than eight lighthouses, four of which remain
in service. There‘s public access to four of the towers
and the bascule light in Skagen.

GOOD STORIES
Good stories
told live
Experiences acquire a greater resonance when told by a living person.
With stories told by passionate locals, you have the chance to get involved
and become part of the experience itself.
Bangsbo Fort, Frederikshavn
Hunting for amber, Sæby
We’ve put together almost
1700 events in our “Good
stories” brochure – pick it
up at the tourist office!

GOOD STORIES
Sæby Church
At the Top of Denmark we’ve turned live storytelling into an
art, one which we’re improving at all the time. New storytellers are engaged every year, and in 2016 we can present
even more events featuring good stories – many of them
also in English or German.
Good stories describe both heroes and villains – including
the rescuers in Skagen and Børglum’s notorious bishop,
Stygge Krumpen. They also provide an insight into everyday life today and during the past. Visit the smallholder’s
family from 1930 at the smallholding in Mosbjerg, which
is occupied during the summer months, or go on a guided
Guided tour - Hirtshals fish auction
tour of Sæby and hear about the town’s history as it developed from an abbey town in the Middle Ages to a popular
spa resort and centre for Danish poets at the end of the
19th century.
Almost 1700 events with good stories are available during the course of the year. Some are for children, others
for adults. Some are for the whole family, others aimed at
enthusiasts. The majority are local events, but guests are
very welcome. Enquire at the tourist office or check online
at toppenafdanmark.dk!

THE BEACHES
Miles of
lovely white
sandy beaches
Broad white sandy beaches are one of the characteristic
features of the Top of Denmark. They’re perfect for bathing and
fun and games when the sun shines, whilst bracing walks, windsurfing
and fishing can all be enjoyed on other days.
Plenty of fresh air and salt on your cheeks are guaranteed.
A day on the beach is one of the highlights of any
holiday, whether you like bathing, sunbathing,
relaxing, games in the dunes or a good picnic
basket. Outside the bathing season the beach is
also a great experience, with activities including
bracing walks, windsurfing or fishing.
On the Skagerrak coast from Løkken to Skagen
you find the broadest sandy beaches with plenty of space for playing games and for relaxing.
In most places it is permitted to drive your car
onto the beach, as long as you pay attention to
the other guests there. If you drive a little further
away from the ramps, there’s usually plenty of
space for playing ball games or flying kites.
The water is of high quality at all the beaches at
the Top of Denmark. In the Municipality of Hjørring, the Blue Flag beaches have white flags, but
they mean the same, i.e. a symbol of high-quality
bathing water and good facilities for guests. On
the Skagerrak coast there are often big waves,
which are popular with many guests. However,
there can be undercurrents – and so you need
to be careful. If you’re not a strong swimmer,
it’s recommended that you only go out to the
first sandbank. Children shouldn’t bathe alone.
On the east coast the beaches have shallower water and smaller waves. You can also find
lovely sandy beaches and dunes here. On the
east coast shells tend to be washed up onto the
beach, so there are good chances of finding amber. Generally speaking it’s not possible to drive
your car onto the beach. Instead it must remain
behind the dunes.
On the beaches at Løkken, Tornby, Tversted and
on the palm-lined beach in Frederikshavn there
are manned lifeguard stations during the bathing season. During the winter months – 1 Octo
ber until 1 April – you can let your dog off the
leash on the beach, whilst during the summer it
must be kept on a lead.

FUN ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN
Fun and games
for the kids
During the holidays the family has time to do things together
– often spanning several generations. Such experiences are
exciting and take place on the children’s terms.
Mum and dad – and perhaps also granddad and grandma – can also join in.
Fun-Park Hirtshals
Bolcheriet
FunHouse
FUN ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN
15
Nordsøen Oceanarium
Children and animals are a sure-fire combination, and a day in one of the funparks is a great experience for the whole family, with fascinating animals, some
of which you can pat and stroke, pony-riding and lots of opportunities to play. If
the weather is more conducive to indoor activities, a fun-house, the swimming
baths or a bowling centre are obvious alternatives.
Skiveren miniature golf centre
If you’re a sporty family, you may wish to rent bikes or canoes and enjoy a lovely
day in the countryside. A picnic in the forest or a walk along the beach to find
amber or conches are great ways of doing things together. If an element of
competition is required, there are several good miniature golf courses in the
area, or you can play football golf, which is a challenge for both older children
and adults alike.
Nordsøen Oceanarium in Hirtshals is both educational and exciting. Here children meet flatfish that can be patted and stroked and seals that display their
acrobatic skills to get hold of a herring at feeding time. Pay a visit to the crab
coast and try to catch a living crab.
One of the best attractions in Løkken and Skagen is a visit to Bolcheriet to see
sweets being made. The kids will also love to go ghost hunting at the historic
manor house at Sæbygård Slot.
A few kilometres south of Løkken you find Fårup Sommerland, which is bound
to be on any child’s wish-list. The amusement park has attractions and rides to
last a whole day or more.

EVENTS
Exciting events
throughout the year
Regardless of whether you’ve travelled specifically to experience them or whether you just happen to be in the area when they
take place, the year’s different events always provide an extra
dimension to your holiday. There’s always something going on at
the Top of Denmark – from intimate happenings to major events.
Major events: Historical plays, enjoyable
harbour festivals, music festivals and
sports events. Small gems: Song evenings, lectures or walks to experience the
nightingale. The Top of Denmark offers a
wealth of exciting activities.
You may have heard of some of the events,
or even experienced them yourself – Days
of Tordenskiold in Frederikshavn, or the
Fish Festival in Hirtshals. Other events
may entice you to experience something
completely new – the winter bathing festival at Skagen’s Gren, for example, or
Stygge Krumpen Days in Hjørring and the
antique fair in Løkken.

Music generates
great memories
Music has great importance at the Top of Denmark and it can also enrich your holiday.
Experience your favourite music or learn about new genres and musicians!
Some people travel a long way to listen to a
particular band or a solo artist. Others prefer
festivals with a wide range of different bands.
And some just come to enjoy the company of
others facilitated by the music.
Almost all genres of music are represented
in North Jutland, so you’re sure to be able to
find interesting music to listen to. The Top of
Denmark has a great many music venues and
talented local performers, whilst a wealth of
concerts and festivals are organised throughout the year.
Amongst the biggest events are: Vendsyssel Festival, Scandinavia’s biggest classical
music festival, which features more than 50
concerts during the summer; Skagen Festival, Denmark’s oldest music festival, featuring
a wide variety of music that brings Skagen to
life during the first weekend of July; and Rock
in Frederikshavn, which presents well-known
Danish bands such as Gnags and Kim Larsen
in the middle of June.
All towns – both large and small – have their
own musical events that attract people from
Denmark and further afield. These include
Jazz and Fish in Sæby, the accordion rally in
Bindslev, Jazzy Dayz in Tversted, Løkken concert, Blues Festival in Frederikshavn and Music under the Steps in Hirtshals.
You can see a list of events at toppenafdanmark. dk or check out the major venues like

GET ON YOUR BIKE
On your bike
in the holiday region!
On a bike there are practically no limits as to where you can go.
You can get close to the flora and fauna, see landscapes from new
angles and enjoy adventures that you’d never experience in a car.
GET ON YOUR BIKE
The cycle is an ideal means of transport at the Top of
Denmark. The region has no severe climbs, but many
good cycle paths and routes away from heavy traffic
featuring lots of attractions en route.
Hirtshals there’s a special cycle route featuring the sign
of the fish. However, the region has good and attractive
cycle routes throughout. At the tourist office you can find
informative cycle maps and descriptions of the routes.
CYCLING HOLIDAY
Set off on your bike with a sleeping bag and tent – there’s
nothing that beats such a sense of freedom! It’s easy
to get around in the region. You can stay overnight at
campsites or at one of the many camping grounds that
have been established along the cycle routes in the region. You can stay an extra day or continue on your way,
depending on your mood and what you meet en route.
TAKE A SHORTCUT!
If you’re staying at a holiday home, a campsite or hotel, cycling is a good way of getting around in the local
area and experiencing things that car drivers are unable
to. On a bike you can travel everywhere, including minor
roads and paths where vehicular traffic is difficult. You’ll
see towns and landscapes from new angles and will find
it easier to speak with the locals. On a bike you stimulate
all your senses – sounds and smells, the wind in your
hair and the sun on your cheeks.

SP ORT ON YOUR HOLIDAY
Sport is fun
on your holiday
Perhaps you’ve travelled to the region to compete in one of the
season’s many sports events – or perhaps you just can’t imagine going on
holiday without your bike, wetsuit or running shoes. The Top of Denmark is full
of challenging terrain and surrounded by enticing waves.
Use your holiday to concentrate on
your sport – or try something completely different. Sport is a great
way of experiencing the countryside and provides a good chance
to spend time together with family
or friends. You can also sign up for
one of the season’s many events
and enjoy a great day out that can
satisfy your competitive streak. The
region boasts good running routes,
challenging MTB trails, golf courses and tennis courts. The coasts
provide an open invitation to a full
range of water sports – sail, surf
and swim as you wish!

a great form of exercise. You can
join guided tours along the coast
or a kayak safari, which begins in
one of the streams and passes
through the mouth of the stream

Løkken is known and loved for
its fine sandy beach and the characteristic
white beach huts and fishing boats
on the beach near the breakwater.
For generations, holiday guests from far
and wide have travelled to Løkken to
experience the sea, the dunes and the
lovely town with sand in the streets.
Løkken is a lively town in the summer months, when a
number of events are organized for both children and
adults.
The high season also features annual events such
as Løkken Concert, Løkken Antiques Fair and the socalled “Vesterhavsmarch”, which is an organized walk
along the beach. Løkken Concert is a great day out with
performances by popular bands playing music that
suits all ages. In winter Santa Claus sails to Løkken and
a Christmas weekend is held at Børglum Abbey.
On the main square and in the pedestrian streets
you’ll find restaurants and cafés with outdoor seating
flanked by shops which help to provide a great atmosphere. Løkken offers good shopping, and at the summer’s Open-by-Night events and flea markets there’s
every chance of getting a bargain.
For families with children and youngsters a visit to
Action House is an essential part of a holiday in Løkken. Action House has go-karts, bowling, laser games,
paintball, disco and many other activities. The kids will
also love a visit to Bolcheriet on the square, where you
can see how sweets are made the old-fashioned way.
There are also a number of attractions within a short
drive from Løkken, e.g. Børglum Abbey, candle production at Bombæk Lys near Vrå and Family Farm Fun
Park. You can also explore the town and the area in
another way by visiting our plantations and following
footpaths such as the North Sea Trail, Kløverstierne
and Hærvejen.
The most famous – or
indeed infamous
– resident at Børglum
Kloster was Stygge
Krumpen, who lived
from 1485 until 1551.
Today the abbey houses
numerous exhibitions
and attractions.

Every year the North Sea takes a bite out of the steep bluffs
surrounding the small fishing village. Several summer cottages have surrendered to the elements, whilst cultural bastions
such as Mårup Church and the lighthouse at Rubjerg Knude
have also been hit.
Mårup Church no longer exists. The church was built at the
beginning of the 13th century and at that time was situated
around two kilometres from the coast. The edge of the cliff has
moved ever closer to the church and in 2008 a decision was
made to dismantle the top of the church, leaving only the walls
in place. In 2015 the final remnants of the church were taken
down. The churchyard and the graves have not been touched
and will eventually surrender to the elements as they crash
down into the North Sea.
Rubjerg Knude is the highest and most spectacular part of the
cliff at Lønstrup. The cliff is 15 km long and runs from Lønstrup
in the north to Løkken in the south. At Rubjerg, the cliff reaches
a height of 90 metres, whilst elsewhere it has a height of 30-50
m. The world’s only lighthouse buried in the sand will probably
crash into the sea in 10-15 years’ time. It was impossible to
foresee the fate of the lighthouse when it was built in 1900 at
the highest point of the rise, approximately 60 metres above
sea level.
Realdania and the Danish Nature Agency are currently working
on a major project involving the lighthouse at Rubjerg Knude
aimed at creating better access to unique locations in the Danish landscape. A new flight of steps is being built up through the
tower to the balcony, whilst a human-sized kaleidoscope will
throw the light reflected off the sea into the tower, providing a
contrast to the days when the light from the lighthouse shone
out to sea.
The countryside surrounding Lønstrup is great for cycling and
hiking. Walk along a section of the North Sea Trail from Rubjerg
Knude through Lønstrup, Harrerenden and Skallerup to the
beach at Nørlev Strand. Or experience the magnificent scenery
in the area on horseback, with riding trips available in the dune
plantation and on the beach. The bridle path passes through
the countryside around Lønstrup.
In Lønstrup you’ll find a great selection of lovely places to eat.
Several cafés have live music on the programme throughout
the summer. Their menus have something to suit all tastes, but
fish and shellfish are of course particularly popular in a town
located just a few metres from the North Sea.
Rubjerg Knude Fyr
It’s once again possible to
get up into the partly buried
lighthouse at Rubjerg Knude
via a new interior flight of
steps. This Realdania project
is designed to ease access
to unique locations in the
Danish countryside.
LØNSTRUP
Lønstrup attracts a great number of artists and
craftsmen. Their galleries and open workshops
are very much part of the townscape. On the
winding high street with its well-maintained
old fishermen’s houses, you find painters,
glassblowers, potters and goldsmiths, and you can
see at first-hand such craftsmanship being
carried out. Lønstrup also has an attractive range
of shops specialising in antiques and retro items.

SINDAL
Hjørring & Sindal
- active urban life, shopping and culture
A trip to the town of Hjørring should be part of your holiday, whilst the Sindal region’s lush
countryside makes the perfect setting for a picnic or other outdoor activities.
Hjørring teater- og oplevelseshus
Sindal
is a good starting
point for a canoe trip.
From Sindal you can

HJØRRING
A little way inland – behind the dunes
and dune plantations – you find
a landscape that’s very different from
the coastal regions. A fertile region with
arable land, meandering watercourses and
peaceful forests. It’s also here you’ll find
the region’s metropolis, Hjørring – an exciting
cultural and commercial town.
|
SINDAL
29
Hjørring is Vendsyssel’s former cultural capital which
welcomes its guests with shopping, cafés, museums, theatre and lots of attractions, such as days to
celebrate Stygge Krumpen, a popular revue and cattle show. The town has also managed to maintain its
historic town centre, whilst encouraging development
in its surrounding neighbourhoods. In recent years
exciting buildings have been built, such as Metropol
with its shopping centre and library, another shopping
centre on the site of the former slaughterhouse and a
block of flats with energy-neutral apartments.
In the town centre you find gems such as three medieval churches, Vendsyssel Historical Museum and several open workshops. If you enjoy art, then head for the
art museum or look out for works of art on the streets
or at the squares, including P. Nørkjærs Plads, where
Professor Bjørn Nørgaard has produced his own sculptural interpretation of Nordic mythology. After a walk
round the town you can quench your thirst with a drink
at Bryghuset Vendia.
Hjørring is a very green town with lovely parks and
green areas. Christiansgave and Svanelunden invite you to relax and enjoy yourself. The park at Sct.
Knuds Kilde has an open-air stage where summer
plays are performed. At the northern edge of the town
are the hills of Hjørring Bjerge, a unique 90-hectare
area of countryside that features the dramatic landscapes shaped by the ice age. At Bellevue you’ll find an
observation tower with a view of the entire region, as
well as a gallows mound that fortunately hasn’t been
used since 1822.
Sindal lies in a lush valley at the point where the stream
of Uggerby Å turns north as it runs out to its mouth
in Skagerrak. The stream is great for trout-fishing and
canoeing. The forest at Tolne Skov is a popular destination, whilst at the agricultural museum in Mosbjerg
you can see what living on the land was like some 100
years ago.

HIRTSHALS
Hirtshals
- adventures by the sea
Great beaches, windsurfers, fishing vessels at the quay, screeching gulls,
busy ferries, dune plantations and a lighthouse at the very top.
Northern Europe’s biggest aquarium
with 6 million litres of water and marine
adventures for the entire family that
last a whole day! Wave to the diver as
he feeds the sunfish and other marine
animals, get close to the seals and catch
crabs with your bare hands!
New: On 27 June the “Whale research hut”
opens, where you can learn all about the
giants of the sea.
31
HIRTSHALS
Hirtshals is the perfect holiday destination
for families that love the countryside and
want to enjoy an active holiday. Here you’ll
find some of the country’s best waters for
windsurfing, lovely sandy beaches and lots
of spots for angling, both from the coast
and on boat trips. The town centre has a
pleasant shopping and café environment
Fishing and the shipping industry have always made
up Hirtshals’ livelihood. Traditional coastal fishing has
been superseded by ocean-going trawlers and seine
vessels. The Port of Hirtshals is one of the country’s
biggest commercial and fishing ports. It’s also an important commercial harbour as a nerve centre for the
ferry routes to Norway, the Faroe Islands and Iceland.
Historically, it was a hazardous sailing route, with
many vessels being lost, but from 1863 it became
considerably safer to sail to Hirtshals, thanks to the
construction of the Hirtshals Fyr lighthouse. The lighthouse remains in service and you can climb to the top
– 144 steps – and enjoy the magnificent view. Close
to the lighthouse is one of the huge batteries of guns
from the Second World War that make up Bunker
Museum Hirtshals.
The western harbour in Hirtshals has grown with the
town thanks to Den Grønne Plads and ‘Trappen’ – the
town square and the town’s characteristic flight of
steps created by painter Dorte Dahlin and sculptor
Mogens Møller in 1997. They make up an architectural gem with fantastic viewpoints of the harbour and
the sea, from where you can let your thoughts wander
to distant skies. Many of the town’s major events are
held at the western harbour, e.g. Hirtshals Fish Festival and Music under the Steps. Popular guided tours
of the town begin at Den Grønne Plads.
Nordsøen Oceanarium has northern Europe’s biggest
aquarium – 4.5 million litres of water – and tells the
story of life in the sea that surrounds the region. You
can get close to all the exciting fish in the North Sea.
The kids will love crab coast, where they can fish for
crab and pat or stroke the back of a plaice or starfish.
The dune plantations at Tornby and Hirtshals provide
great inspiration for hiking, cycling and riding trips.
Here you can head out on Ancient Road Hærvejen,
which runs all the way down to Germany along the
backbone of Jutland, the North Sea Trail, which runs
along the coasts of many countries in Europe, or one
of the many local footbaths and routes, including
Riderute Nordvendsyssel, a 200-km-long bridle path.
At the dune plantation of Tornby Klitplantage you’ll
find challenging MTB tracks and at Hirtshals Golfklub
you can play 18 holes in picturesque surroundings.

TVERSTED
33
Ever since it became fashionable
to stay at beach hotels at the end of
the 19th century, the town on the coast
of Tannis Bay has attracted thousands of
summer guests. Today the old beach
hotel has been turned into a large, modern
holiday resort and has been augmented by
two attractive campsites and several hundred
holiday homes along the coast.
The sun, the sand and the sea are unchanged. Beach
fashions have changed a great deal, however. Holidaymakers no longer arrive by mail carriage, but in their
own car, and a lot more languages are spoken than
when Tversted was discovered as a holiday destination. But the atmosphere is the same. The town has an
atmosphere of tranquillity, relaxation and enjoyment.
Tversted is also a popular destination for most of the
local population of Vendsyssel. At least once during the
course of the summer you should come to Tversted
to enjoy the beach atmosphere, visit the craftsmen,
eat an ice cream at the blue ice-cream kiosk and see
the sunset. Many return in the autumn when there are
Jazzy Dayz in Tversted.
The countryside around Tversted is ideal for hiking,
cycling and riding. West of the town you can see how
the two watercourses, Tversted Å and Uggerby Å, cut
through the dunes as they make their way out to Ska
gerrak. East of the town the dune plantation stretches
along the coast. The lakes of Tverstedsøerne make a
lovely destination for an excursion with a large nature
playground for children. A little further east you find
EagleWorld, where you can experience falconers working with the impressive birds of prey.
Every Sunday and Wednesday from June to August,
Tversted Bjærgelaug launches its barge, with anyone
over the age of 15 being allowed to row it. Depending
on the weather, this takes place every Sunday at 10.00
and Wednesday at 19.00. See you at the boathouse on
Tversted beach.
Det Blå Ishus
The blue ice-cream
kiosk has existed since
1920, and over the years
has satisfied many
locals and tourists with
a craving for ice-cream.
The kiosk is particularly
well-known for its tasty
meringue foam and its
extensive choice of
ice-creams.

An ice cream at the square from
where to watch the sunset, a cup of coffee in
the museum gardens, a beer on the quay,
a glass of white wine at a preview at
one of the galleries – visiting Skagen always
provides something extra. The special
atmosphere in the town, the light which
is reflected in the sea, and the landscape
characterised by the wind and the sand
– adding even more value to your visit.
600 years ago Skagen was the region’s leading royal
borough, although the town didn’t have any streets
or squares. However, it had fishermen and shipping –
which both brought wealth. This period of prosperity
was superseded by flooding and sand migration which
almost destroyed Skagen. From the mid-19th century
things took a turn for the better again, and at the end
of the century artists discovered the unique light in
Skagen and the great contrasts in the landscape and
the local population.
The light and the artists are still here. The scenery is
as wonderful as ever. And the town’s livelihood is still
based on fishing and shipping – and from tourism, because today Skagen has become “public property”.
Most people have something that ties them to Skagen: Perhaps a particular place that’s the essence of
their Skagen, or a season or an event, e.g. local theatre, m
usic festival or the Skagen rally for vintage cars
and motorbikes. You’ll almost certainly find your own
piece of Skagen that you’ll look forward to returning to.
That’s the thing about Skagen – it’s highly addictive.
The countryside on Skagen’s headland is a magnificent
attraction. Make sure you don’t miss out on a trip to
Råbjerg Mile, a huge migrating dune covering one
square kilometre which is swept across the country by
the wind at a rate of 15 m per year.
If you raise your head, you’re bound to spot exciting
birds, not least birds of prey. Skagen is one of Europe’s
best locations for bird-lovers.
Skagens Museum
The Museum has recently
been extended and
revamped, thus providing
even better conditions
in which the works of
the Skagen painters
can be exhibited.

Frederikshavn is used to receiving many
guests. With the region’s largest hotel
capacity, the town is well equipped to
receive both large groups of conference
guests and individual families that choose
Frederikshavn as a starting point for a
holiday in the Land of Light.
Exciting adventures await you in Frederikshavn, which,
due to the ferry routes to Norway and Sweden, has an
international atmosphere and a cultural and commercial life that far exceed that which could be expected
of a town of its size. It’s a small city with a museum of
art, attractive pedestrian precincts and exciting cafés
and restaurants.
Throughout the year Frederikshavn puts on a number
of cultural events such as outdoor rock concerts, the
celebration of Tordenskiold’s deeds in the Great Nordic
War of the 18th century and a succession of shows and
concerts in Arena Nord and Det Musiske Hus.
At the southern outskirts of the town you’ll find the
idyllic manor house at Bangsbo with its museum, bota
nical gardens, animal park, etc. Here you can see the
well-preserved Viking ship, Ellingåskibet. The museum
also has an interesting exhibition based on World War
II – a good prelude to visiting the big gun positions in
the bunker museum, which is located at Bangsbo Fort
at the top of the impressive hills high above Kattegat.
Bangsbo Botanical Gardens and Animal Park, with its
herds of fallow deer and stags, are also well worth a
visit for the whole family.
North of Frederikshavn you’ll find the palm-lined beach,
Palmestranden, which is a beach that lies close to the
town and features beach volleyball, a barbecue and
activities for both children and adults. The area also
has a delightful marina, golf course and fishing park.
On cool days you can have fun in the swimming baths
and aqua complex, e.g. at the Caribbean-inspired The
Reef.
Krudttårnet
The town’s landmark
was built at the end of
the 17th century and the
gunpowder tower was
of strategic importance
during the Great Nordic
War at the beginning of
the 18th century, when
Tordenskiold used
Frederikshavn as a base.

SÆBY
- the delightful town by the sea
Child-friendly beaches, good hotels and campsites, in addition to a charming
urban and harbour environment make Sæby a unique experience.
Sæby, which literally means the town by the sea, was a town
of great importance in the Middle Ages, when the Carmelite
monks built a large monastery in 1475, of which the church
of St. Maria still exists. The natural harbour at the mouth
of the stream made Sæby a nerve centre for trade and
brought wealth to the town. Some of the large merchant
houses can still be seen in Algade.
At the end of the 19th century Sæby developed into one
of the leading spa resorts in the country following the discovery of a life-giving spring, Jernkilden. During the same
period Sæby became the preferred summer residence for
the country’s leading poets and authors, including Herman
Bang, Henrik Ibsen and Holger Drachmann, in addition to
Gustav Wied, who lived here permanently.
Sæby is still a popular holiday town and home to a number
of artists and craftsmen, who contribute to the generation
of life and soul in the attractive old royal borough throughout the year. The town has a lively square with lots of specialist shops, restaurants and a harbour where you can get
a huge variety of fish and shellfish. Sæby is a musical town
with two wind ensembles, a big-band, a Tyrolean band and
a myriad of small ensembles and young talents. There’s
often music in the streets, culminating in the Whitsun jazz
festival, “Fish and Jazz”. Holiday cottages in Sæby are
located close to the beach along the long promenade which
links the harbour and town to the beach, whilst the summer
cottages south of the town have a scenic location in the
dune heath landscape close to Lyngså’s wide, child-friendly
beaches that provide plenty of space for both games and
quiet contemplation.
Lying slightly west of the town in the beautiful Sæbygaard
Forest is Sæbygaard Manor, which has been home to many
historic individuals, including Stygge Krumpen, the Bishop
of Børglum, and no less than three admirals. Here children
and adults can meet the castle’s ghosts throughout the
summer!
Voer Å
East Vendsyssel’s longest
watercourse meets the
sea in Voerså, where it’s
possible to rent both
canoes and pedalos. The
canoes can be delivered
at any one of five different points, so your trip
can last from 5 to 25 km
SÆBY
Sæby has to be experienced – it’s really that
simple. The old cultural town at the mouth
of the stream with its monastery church,
renaissance castle and medieval town centre
has its own unique atmosphere and charm.
Sæby has attracted tourists for generations
– spa guests, artists and bonvivants.

ACTIVITIES
Active holidays
When you’ve had enough of lying on the beach and soaking up the sun,
you can get out and enjoy a range of activities that make for a fun and unforgettable holiday
– and the family can take part in these activities together.
ACTIVITIES
Football golf is both fun and challenging and can
be played at several places in the region. The same
applies to miniature golf. Perhaps you’d like to try
your hand at real golf, although you aren’t actually
a regular golfer. The majority of clubs have a par-3
course that’s open to all.
A canoe trip on one of the region’s more extensive
watercourses is a fun activity for the whole family. You can rent a canoe in Sindal, Uggerby and
Voerså. Back on dry land, but still offering plenty of
fresh air, you can head off on a great riding trip at
Skallerup Seaside Resort.
10-pin bowling is possible in several towns – an
activity where everyone can join in and have fun
together. There are also several squash and badminton courts, whilst fitness centres can also be
used.
If you’re looking for more speed and action, you
can get behind the wheel as a racing driver at
Action House in Løkken, try the Segway course in
the same town or challenge your friends to paintball or laser games. You can also learn to surf or
paddle a sea kayak – or even go on a kayak safari.
The major towns at the Top of Denmark have good
swimming baths, where there are play areas for
children and the opportunity for adults to get good
exercise. You can always finish your visit with a
Jacuzzi, sauna or massage.

OUT AND ABOUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
We’ll come back next year
and continue our trip
“We began going on hiking holidays
six years ago, when we walked Gendarmstien from Kruså to Sønderborg. The following year we walked
along Ancient Road Hærvejen from
Viborg to the German border. It took
four summers, and now we’re starting the new stretches of Ancient
Road Hærvejen north of Viborg,” explains Birgit Hutters and continues:
“We found out that a walking holiday
is a great way of spending time together. There’s plenty of time to talk
and enjoy things together – whereas
finding time at home can often be
difficult, where we both have families
and Elsebeth is still working”.
Elsebeth Jarmbæk is a physiotherapist
and employed at the Danish Working
Environment Authority, whilst Birgit is
a retired associate professor in linguistics at the University of Copenhagen.
The two sisters have prepared their
trip from home by studying, among
other things, Ancient Road Hærvejen’s
website, so they’ve booked overnight
accommodation at hostels, inns or
bed & breakfast in advance. During
the hike they use Hærvejen’s app to
learn about the route and any attractions in the vicinity. They travel to a
nd
from the route by public transport and
walk around 20 km per day.
“The trip though the dune plantation
at Tornby was absolutely wonderful. We walked along paths you could
only reach on foot, and we didn’t
meet another soul. We had the won-
derful scenery to ourselves. Rubjerg
Knude was a fantastic experience
and the heather further south was
quite unique,” says Birgit Hutters, who
warmly recommends a hiking holiday. “Backpackers have something
in common. Everyone is friendly and
helpful and we’re able to meet and talk
to a lot of people.”
In 2015 the sisters got as far as
Rød
hus Klit Camping, from where
they took a taxi to Brovst, the bus to
Aalborg and the train home to Stubbekøbing and Holbæk respectively.
Next summer they’ll be heading back
to North Jutland to resume their hike
from Rødklit, setting course for Viborg
via Aggersund.
They‘re sisters, aged 70 and 58 respectively.
They live on the islands of Falster and Zealand. But one week every
summer they pull on their hiking boots and rucksack and head out
into the Danish countryside. We caught up with Birgit Hutters
and Elsebeth Jarmbæk on a hilltop near Børglum.

Go on a hiking
trip during
your holiday!
A pair of good shoes or boots, clothes that match the
weather, food and drink in your rucksack – and you’re
set for a day full of adventures in the countryside. Perhaps you’re more ambitious and will pack your rucksack
for a hiking holiday lasting several days. At the Top of
Denmark you’ll encounter a wealth of footpaths, as well
as two national hiking routes: the North Sea Trail and
Ancient Road Hærvejen.
Five fantastic
hikes
Grenen Spor in Skagen
Four routes of 3, 6 and 10
km, one of which is ideal for
the walking-impaired,
families with prams, etc.
Dronningestien in
Frederikshavn
From Møllehuset up to the
panoramic views from the
hills of Pikkerbakken and
onward to Bangsbo Fort.
Tornby Klitplantage,
south of Hirtshals
Four marked routes through
typical west coast landscape.
Sections of the route
make up parts of the
North Sea Trail and Ancient
Road Hærvejen.
Sæbygård Skov
Idyllic route through
the beech forest with its
meandering stream to the
manor house at Sæbygård
and the top of Gedebjerget
85 metres above sea level.
Tolne Skov
Hiking routes starting from
the forest pavilion or the
car park on Dvergetvedvej.
Ancient beech forest,
hilly terrain.
Pick up more information
at the tourist office!
The North Sea Trail lives up to its
name by running all the way round
the North Sea, i.e. through Denmark,
Germany, the Netherlands, England,
Scotland and Norway, with many
shorter walks that branch off from
the main route. At the Top of Denmark the North Sea Trail runs all the
way along the coast from Voerså in
the east via Skagen in the north to
Løkken in the west.
Ancient Road Hærvejen is part of
the historic pilgrims’ route from the
cathedral in Trondheim to Santiago
de Compostela in Spain. In North
Jutland the route branches into two
at Viborg, and thus there is also an
eastern pilgrims’ route to Frederikshavn which then crosses Kattegat
to Vadstena Abbey on the banks of
Vättern in Sweden.
In the region you can also find a number of local tracks and footpaths,
e.g. at the migrating dune at Råbjerg
Mile, in the dune plantations near
Skagen, Aalbæk, Tversted, Hirts
hals and Tornby, as well as further
inland at the hills of Katsig Bakker,
the valley at Åsted Ådal or along
Sporet at the headland at Odden.
In Frederikshavn the footpaths of
Dronningestien and Kongestien lead
you through the impressive moraine
landscape and up onto the hills of
Pikkerbakken, which offer views of
the town and the sea. Sæby has a
wonderful walking route through the
forest at Sæbygård and up onto the
top of the hill at Gedebjerget.
At Skagen’s Gren, four hiking routes
have just been opened that take you
through the area’s unique landscape
of ridges and hollows – as well as
to Denmark’s most northerly point,
which isn’t, in fact, the tip of Grenen.
At many places along the hiking
routes, camps or shelters have been
established, often with toilets and
running water. You can stay here
overnight and cook your food over
an open fire. You can pick up leaflets
and maps of the many hiking routes
at local tourist offices.
In recent years Ancient Road Hær
vejen has been recreated as a hiking
route with signposts and information en route. It is already frequented
by many people – including pilgrims
and ramblers. It’s also popular with
families, who can walk a small section of the route on a day’s excursion
and thereby enjoy a great day out in
the countryside.
At the Top of Denmark you can walk
Ancient Road Hærvejen from Børg
lum Abbey via Lønstrup and the west
coast up to Hirtshals, or from Jyske
Ås to Frederikshavn. Both stretches
take you through picturesque countryside.

Mountainbike
– lots of possibilities on your holiday
MTB fever has hit Denmark.
More and more of us are taking
our mountain bike on holiday to
enjoy the combination of action
and attractive countryside.
New tracks and routes through
beautiful landscapes await you
at the Top of Denmark.
53
At the Top of Denmark you’ll find four official MTB tracks of varying degrees of difficulty – all situated in attractive and typical North Jutland countryside. In addition, there
are numerous cycle routes and gravel tracks that are perfect for longer trips on your
mountain bike.
Tornby Klitplantage
For experienced riders. Length: 12 km. Vertical metres: 175
The track runs between lakes, dunes and tall trees. The track is technically challenging for
even the best riders. The entire route is single track with many tight bends and a view of
Skagerrak. A fun route, and although there are relatively few vertical metres, you’re always
either climbing or descending and there are several places where the route runs through
sand. Start/Finish: Car park at Købstedvej.
Bagterp Plantage
Glossary
of MTB terms:
Single-track: A narrow
track where there’s only
room for one bike.
Hop: An obstacle which you
have to jump over on your
bike, typically with both
wheels off the ground.
Drop: Section with a sudden
difference in height from
one level to a lower level.
Berm: A bend in which an
artificial curved elevation
has been constructed on the
outer edge of the bend.
Chicken run: An alternative
passage that isn’t as demanding, thus enabling riders to
avoid the most difficult
sections on the route if
they’re unsure of their ability.
Skinnie: Narrow passage
raised above the surface of
the ground, e.g. a bridge or a
beam laid between two rocks.
Rock garden: A very uneven
passage consisting of large
stones and rocks.
For moderately experienced riders and beginners. Length: 4.3 km. Vertical metres: 47
A fun track with countless bends running through a small plantation on the southern outskirts of Hjørring. The route doesn’t boast many vertical metres, but goes up and down all
the time, and if you pick up the pace, the route presents a challenge for most riders. The
track runs through different types of woodland. Start/Finish: Car park on Aalborgvej.
Skagen Klitplantage
For moderately experienced riders and beginners. Length: 13 km. Vertical metres: 50
The MTB route runs through the eastern part of the dune plantation and takes in gravel
tracks, sandy terrain and well-maintained stable surfaces. The route has a good flow and
is demanding enough for beginners to enjoy. The area has only a few hills and the number
of climbs are kept to a minimum, so everyone can enjoy cycling and the countryside at the
same time. Start/Finish: Car park at Skagen OK & Motions clubhouse, Gl. Landevej 47.
Katsig Bakker
For experienced riders. Length: 3.4 km. Vertical metres: 130
The route in the hills of Katsig Bakker has many short, steep climbs, as well as a number of
exciting descents and a rock garden. Practically the entire route is single track and there’s
therefore not much time to relax, which makes the track that much more demanding. Plans
are afoot to extend the track by 3-4 km. Start/Finish: 100 m west of the car park at the
entrance to Skt. Jørgens Kilde.
Sæbygård Skov
For moderately experienced riders and beginners. Length: 5 km. Vertical metres: 90
The newly established MTB track in the forest at Sæbygård throws up challenges for both
beginners and experienced mountain bike riders. The track is more than 4 km long and
splits into two tracks at several points – with a white arrow for riders of all abilities and a red
arrow for experienced riders. The MTB track was constructed and is maintained by volunteers from Sæby Motions Cykel Club with support from the municipal authority in Frederiks
havn. Wooden bridges have been established at several points on the track. A fast track with
a good flow. Start/Finish: Car park at Skovlyst.

TA K E YOUR DOG ON HOLIDAY
Take your dog with
you on holiday
The dog is the most popular pet in Denmark, with more than 550,000 being kept
as pets. There are also good opportunities to take “man’s best friend” with you
on holiday at the Top of Denmark.
TA K E YOUR DOG ON HOLIDAY
For many families the best holiday is a
holiday in which they are accompanied
by the family dog. The dog, of course,
has other requirements and wishes in
terms of a holiday than its owners, but
this needn’t be a problem – it just requires a bit of planning.
transport, and most shops have a hook
on which to attach the dog’s lead while
you’re inside doing the shopping.
vene.dk or download an app that gives
directions. Dogs may run off the leash
at the beach during the winter season –
i.e. from 1 October until 1 April. Both at
the beaches and in the dog parks, however, it’s a prerequisite that you’re able
to control your dog so that it doesn’t
bother other people.
The countryside is also a great source
of adventure for both two-legged and
four-legged animals. The dog will love
a walk in the woods or the dune plantation, but remember that it must be kept
on a leash so that it doesn’t frighten
the wildlife in the forest or the cattle in
the field. At the Top of Denmark there
are 16 off-leash dog parks, which are
enclosed areas in which dogs can run
off the leash. You can find the nearest
off-leash dog park at www.hundesko-
If you’re travelling to Denmark with a
dog, there are a number of legal requirements that must be complied
with. These involve requirements concerning vaccinations, pet passport and
ID marking. Certain races of dog are
prohibited in Denmark, including the
Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire
Terrier and American Bulldog. You can
check out the applicable rules at www.
foedevarestyrelsen.dk.
Danes’ have a great interest in dogs,
which is a great facilitator for striking
up a conversation with other dog-owners. The most popular races of dog in
Denmark are German Shepherd, Labrador and Golden Retriever.

ANGLING
A great fishing trip for
young and old alike
ANGLING
57
Remember your fishing rods when going
on holiday at the Top of Denmark, since
the sea around us and the watercourses
and lakes further inland offer a wealth
of good fishing for both beginners and
more experienced anglers. A fishing trip
is a great activity for the whole family.
A fishing trip has both nerve-racking moments and periods of total relaxation. It’s this combination that makes
angling such a great reliever of stress and a super holiday
activity.
You get lots of fresh air, the sun’s rays on your cheeks and
the wind in your hair. You have time to enjoy the scenery, and your hunting instinct is stimulated. And there’ll
always be a few good stories to tell at the dinner table.
The dinner table is the second part of the joy of fishing.
Having got lucky on your fishing trip, spent time cooking
up something special in the kitchen and anticipating your
family or friends tasting the delicious fish dish, the holiday will be a sure-fire success.
If you have children with you on a fishing trip, we recommend put & take and natural lakes. You can happily let
your children fish here and the chances of a catch are
good. Fishing from a breakwater is also good for kids, but
remember to give them a life jacket to wear – the water is
deep and the stones can be slippery.

BIRDS
61
And the birds fly
The Top of Denmark is an ideal holiday destination
for bird-lovers. Skagen’s Odde attracts 350 different
species of bird every year.
The high season to see birds of prey is
the period from the end of March until the beginning of June, but you can
experience the proud flyers at any time
of the year. The autumn migration is a
good time to spot waders and sea birds
in particular. In the winter the bird table
will attract both resident birds and visitors from the north, including the great
tit, the bullfinch and the waxwing.
birds become increasingly numerous,
and sparrowhawks appear along with
the first osprey. In the middle of April
there are also good chances of spotting white-tailed eagles and the golden
eagle.
Migrating birds and birds of prey are
the great attraction for ornithologists
and others interested in birds. On a
good day you can count 10-15 species
of birds of prey on the migrating routes
that gather in Skagen prior to the trip
across the water.
March is the month that signals the
beginning of the migration to the
north. The skylark, waxwing and many
more species appear. As the weather gets warmer, the wood pigeon and
mistle thrush arrive. In April the number of migrating species increases on
a daily basis. Doves, corvids and small
The headland at Skagens Odde is the
very best place to spot birds, but there
are many other locations in the region
that offer exciting bird attractions:
Stensnæs near Voerså, Hirtshals Lighthouse and harbour, Sæbygård Forest,
the islands of Hirsholmene, as well as
the bogs of Råbjerg Mose to name but
a few. Finally, there’s EagleWorld near
Tuen, where during the season there
are daily displays of falconry.
Steppe eagle
The beginning of May is the high season for the rough-legged hawk, osprey and merlin. Old World flycatchers,
swifts and whinchats appear a few
days later, whilst in the middle of May
garden warblers, marsh warblers and
common rosefinch arrive from the
south. Migration continues until June.
At the tourist office you can
pick up a folder about the
birds at the Top of Denmark.

Every year on the second weekend in
May there’s a bird festival in Skagen,
where you can go on a guided tour led

Look forward to visiting the artists and craftsmen at the
Top of Denmark – perhaps you’ll make a real find and
take a unique holiday memory home with you that’ll
provide delight for years to come.
Arts and crafts give you something extra to take home with you
– an extra dimension to your experience of a country or a region.
Standing exactly where a work of art came to life and seeing
what the painter or potter saw are unique experiences. Perhaps
you found a piece of amber on the beach and then had it transformed into a beautiful piece of jewellery at the amber polisher’s.
Craftsmen are an important part of life at the Top of Denmark.
Potters, glass-blowers and many other craftsmen are inspired –
just like painters – by the special light and the great contrasts
in both landscape and living conditions. The stormy sea and the
windswept land have fascinated artists for generations – and
still do today. The region is known for its diversity of artists and
craftsmen, many of whom you can meet in galleries and workshops.
Here painters, sculptors, potters, glass artists, amber polishers
and many others practise their craft. Many artists open their
studio or workshop to the general public. Some put on special
events in which guests get an introduction to the art form and
have the chance to try their hand with brush and colours. The
majority of craftsmen have a gallery or shop adjacent to their
workshop, and it always adds a little something to buy directly
from the artist.

THE ARTISTS AT THE TOP OF DENMARK
69
On the trail of
the Skagen painters
The museum, the artists’ dwellings and thousands of works of art; the settings,
the sea and the unique light. Everything’s still here and waiting for you to explore
an era of Danish art whose presence can still be felt in Skagen.
Michael Ancher was one of the first
artists that painted in Skagen – he
began as early as 1874, and he was
also the only one who lived in the
town permanently. In 1880 he married Anna, the daughter of
hotel
owner Brøndum, and the hotel soon
became a haunt for an increasing
number of artists, including Drachmann, Tuxen and Krøyer.
What actually attracted some of Denmark’s most skilled painters to Skagen? Indeed, these were painters that
had trained and lived in Copenhagen, in
addition to which the majority had already made a name for themselves in
Europe. It was the fascination of traveling to the outermost region of Denmark and meeting a fishing population
that lived off the sea – and not infrequently lost their lives in the same sea
– combined with the dramatic scenery
and the unique light which reflections
from the sea created over Skagen. This
combination provided the painters with
fantastic subjects, and they soon began
to appreciate their mutual inspiration
and sense of community, despite the
inevitable conflicts and jealousies that
occurred.
The Skagen painters also painted each
other, which can be seen on the portrait frieze in Brøndum’s dining hall at
Skagens Museum. In Michael Ancher’s
“Christening” several of his colleagues
appear as godparents. Family and
friends are also depicted in P. S. Krøyer’s
“Hip hip hooray” and “Midsummer blaze
on Skagen beach”.
The lives of the Skagen painters and
many of their works can be experienced
at Skagens Museum, a museum that
was established by several of the painters in 1908 while they were still active
artists. Recently the museum has been
extended and refurbished in accordance with plans drawn up by the museum’s original architect, Ulrik Plesner,
back in 1930.

MUSEUMS OF ART AND EXHIBITIONS
Encounter art at
museums and exhibitions
The unique light, the distinctive landscapes and the people at the Top of Denmark
have attracted painters for generations. At art museums and exhibitions you can see
why painters headed for the northernmost region of the country.
Great art from both the past and modern era can
be found at the region’s four museums of art.
The recently refurbished and extended Skagens Museum with focus on the artists’ colony at the end of
the 19th century; Frederikshavn Museum of Art and
bookplate collection featuring a permanent exhibition
of Karl Bovin; Vendsyssel Museum of Art in Hjørring,
where the close link between art and the region’s characteristic landscape can be experienced in Johannes
Hofmeister’s and Poul Anker Bech’s paintings; the art
house in Vrå, which features Svend Engelund’s landscape paintings.
Willumsen collection at the manor house at Herregården Odden.
Vendsyssel Museum of Art.
Skagens Museum
The art house in Vrå has been made a member of JCE
Biennale, Jeune Création Européenne, and in spring
2016 will be presenting 54 young European artists.
These museums are supplemented by several exhibitions, including the Willumsen collection at the manor
house at Odden near Mygdal, where editor Victor Petersen devoted his life to accumulating an impressive
collection of J. F. Willumsen’s works, some 1400 in all.

CHURCHES
Churches and abbeys
with exciting histories
Some have stood for a thousand years, whilst others are much newer, but all the churches in
the region have a story to tell or architectural and artistic features that set them apart.
Church to the east at Børglum Kloster.
Christianity makes its entry
A hundred years passed from AD 960, when
Harald Bluetooth was converted and “made the
Danes Christian”, before Christianity acquired
such a foothold in the country that an Episcopal
residence was established here. This took place
along with the Episcopal residences in Viborg and
Aarhus, with the North Jutland Episcopal residence being placed at the royal estate on the hill
at Børglum. In the middle of the 12th century the
Premonstratensians established a monastery at
Børglum, which became the headquarters of its
abbeys in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
In the middle of the 13th century the same order built a convent at Vrejlev Kloster, not far from
Børglum, following a decree in 1215 that the
monks were not allowed to admit sisters to Børg
lum. Perhaps this is the seed of the legend that
Børglum Kloster
CHURCHES

monks and nuns held nightly rendezvous via a secret underground passage, which, incidentally, has never been found.
The Episcopal residence at Børglum had enormous power
and wealth, with property throughout Vendsyssel, Hanherred, Thy and Mors. In the 16th century this amounted to
268 farms, 163 houses without land and 4 mills. The last
Bishop of Børglum, Stygge Krumpen, was also one of the
most renowned. It is said that he survived the Reformation
in 1536 by hiding in the baking oven at the manor house
at Sæbygård Slot. The Reformation resulted in all Episcopal
Sankt Olai Church in Hjørring.
Hjørring’s medieval churches
Unlike the majority of royal boroughs, Hjørring was granted
permission to keep its three medieval churches, in spite of
religious disputes, fires, hardship and poverty. In connection
with the Reformation, Sankt Catharinæ became the town’s
parish church, whilst the two older churches, Sankt Hans and
Sankt Olai, escaped demolition by becoming churches for the
town’s two large rural parishes. The three churches are just a
stone’s throw from each other – evidence of the modest size
of Hjørring during the Middle Ages.
Mariæ Church in Sæby.
and church goods being transferred to the king. However,
King Christian III “forgot” to channel this money to those
tasked with assuming the duties of the church, such as
running hospitals, schools and poorhouses, so times were
harsh for the population. In addition, King Christian III sentenced all Vendsyssel’s peasants to death because they had
stood at Skipper Clement’s side during the Count’s Feud.
It was possible to pay a sum of money to ensure a stay of
execution, but this of course did nothing to alleviate their
destitution.
Frederikshavn Church
Den tilsandede Kirke in Skagen.
Many fascinating churches
Mariæ Church in Sæby is handsomely decorated with fresco paintings and has an impressive altar. Prior to the Reformation, the church was part of a large Carmelite monastery,
which was later demolished.
Just south of Skagen is the church buried in the sand – Den
tilsandede Kirke – which today consists of just the tower of
Sct. Laurentii Church, which had Vendsyssel’s longest nave
until sand migration buried the church at the end of the 18th
century.
Frederikshavn Church is one of the region’s newest churches, inaugurated in 1892. It has the layout of a cross inspired
by the cathedral in Achen, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
in Jerusalem and the huge Hagia Sophia church in Istanbul
– they certainly didn’t lack ambition in the fast-growing royal
borough! The church is Denmark’s second biggest in terms of
the number of seats – 1160 of them – exceeded only by Vor
Frue Church in Copenhagen, which has a capacity of 1500.
Frederikshavn Church has an altarpiece painted by Skagen
painter Michael Ancher which depicts Jesus’ meeting with the
disciples at the Sea of Galilee following the resurrection.

The Bunker Museum Hirtshals 10th Battery HIRTSHALS
Hirtshals Museum
The Bunker Museum in Hirtshals consists of
54 excavated bunkers, as well as many big
gun, mortar and machine gun positions. An
information exhibition has been set up in a
crew bunker. Here you can experience an
exhibition about the 10th battery and
Hirtshals, whilst in other bunkers the original interior has been recreated. You can
also go on a guided tour of the museum
area.
The exhibition at Hirtshals Museum is called
“Hirtshals by the sea” and tells the story of
Hirtshals on and by the sea. Learn about
the development of the harbour, great rescues and fishing. Hirtshals Museum is also
a museum for the popular local drink, aromatic schnapps. Bring an unopened bottle
of Brøndums schnapps with you and see it
turned into one of the many local aromatic
schnapps.

Hirtshals Museum
During history lessons at school you’d have heard about
kings, nobles, warriors and scientists. At the castles and
manor houses you have the chance to see where some
of them lived. And at the museums you can also see how
ordinary people lived at this time.
Living conditions in the past as they are exhibited at the
museums put your own life into perspective – materially,
culturally and spiritually. It’s a real eye-opener and provides plenty of food for thought.
Vendsyssel Historical Museum in Hjørring has particular
focus on clothing from the beginning of the 19th century
through to the 1970s, in addition to craftsmanship and
interior design down through the ages. The museum’s
branch in Hirtshals is fitted out in an old fisherman’s
home, whilst in Mosbjerg the museum is a working farm
as it appeared in 1915. In Tornby you can visit the former
merchant’s house with fixtures and fittings from 1860
and the smell of freshly-ground coffee, salami and soap.
Børglum Abbey has a magnificent location on the hill.
Built in the 12th century at the royal estate that had
been situated on the hill since the Viking Age, the present day abbey offers an insight into its 900-year history,
including the beautiful abbey church. Voergård Castle contains one of the country’s biggest collections of
European art, antique furniture, silverware and china.
Landskabs- & Landbrugsmuseum, Mosbjerg
Landscape and agriculture museum located in a magnificent setting of hills and
ravines. There are marked trails through the
various types of landscape and past
ancient monuments. At Højen there’s a
homestead run the old-fashioned way,

THE BUNKERS
77
The bunkers
have a fantastic
history from the war
The German fortification of the Danish west coast, which
primarily took place from 1941 until 1944, was the biggest
construction project in Denmark’s history. The Danish government insisted that the work should be carried out by Danish contractors, and at its peak the construction project employed 74,000 men. The German occupying forces acquired
the money from the Danish National Bank. In modern day
terms, the cost of construction is equivalent to the cost of
building 12 Great Belt Bridges!
The Top of Denmark was the Germans’ bridhead to Norway, and was heavily fortified
from the very onset of the occupation. The
Atlantic Wall was later extended from the
Pyrenees to North Cape. The majority of the
bunkers still exist.
As one of the first sites in the area a coastal gun battery
was constructed in 1940 at the 82-metre high hill of Pikkerbakken near Frederikshavn, which was later equipped with a
radar station. The majority of the 70 bunkers are today accessible as Bangsbo Fort Bunker Museum.
In 1941 a coastal gun battery was constructed on either side
of the harbour at Hirtshals, which played an important role
in German supply lines to Norway. The western battery near
Hirtshals lighthouse is an open-air museum today. The headland of Skagen Odde was fortified on both the west side at
Tversted and the east side at Bunken and at Grenen. Bunkers
are found all the way down the west coast past Lønstrup and
Løkken, in particular concentrated around the places where
there was road access to the beach which the Allies would
have been able to use in the event of an invasion.

LOCAL INGREDIENTS
Taste the local
ingredients!
The Top of Denmark is one of the country’s foremost food stores. Both farming and
fishing are acclaimed for their high levels of quality, and the region’s refined products find
their way to restaurants and shops throughout the country and many places in Europe.
LOCAL INGREDIENTS
At the Top of Denmark, good ingredients can become part
of your holiday in many ways. The landscape is made up of
farming country with ripe cornfields, grazing dairy cattle
and potatoes in rows running as straight as arrows. At
the harbours you can see the fishing vessels landing their
catch at the quay, where you can buy a bag of the freshest
plaice.
If you’re planning to cook your own food during your holiday, look for local ingredients from roadside stalls, farm
shops or local markets, in addition to specialities from
the local butcher, baker and fishmonger. Why not finish
off with herbs, berries and mushrooms you yourself have
picked in the countryside.
79
North Jutland cuisine is based on a farming culture in
which the farms were more or less self-sufficient in terms
of meat, dairy products and vegetables, and where many
people supplemented this diet with fishing or else knew a
local fisherman. The raw ingredients were therefore traditional, but of high quality, and the food was prepared with
great care. Today, globalisation has brought a wealth of
new ingredients into the shops, but the local ingredients
and products still make up the basis of North Jutland gastronomy.
As a local once said when he heard a description of New
Nordic Cuisine: “Why, that’s what we eat every day”!
A visit to a restaurant is a natural part of any holiday, and
you’ll find that many of the restaurants in the region focus
on local ingredients as part of the culinary experience.

Holiday memories
in a bottle
The Top of Denmark is the homeland of aromatic
schnapps, but we’re happy to share it with everyone else. As a guest you’re welcome to pick herbs
and make your own aromatic schnapps – or try
one of the proven recipes. It’s a great activity that
provides holiday memories in a bottle.
The search for herbs and berries is a great form of
exercise, provides plenty of fresh air and knowledge
about the wild flora in North Jutland’s lovely countryside. This is followed by lots of pleasant hours
spent producing the schnapps – and then even
more hours carefully adjusting the taste and serving
it to your friends. Or on a dark winter evening with
the wind howling around the house and the rain pattering on the windows, pick out a bottle and enjoy a
small glass and let your mind drift back to the sunny
day when you picked the plants.
Making your own aromatic schnapps is easy. Rinse
off and dry the herbs or berries you picked. Put them
in a jam jar and cover with vodka or schnapps with
a neutral taste such as Brøndums. After a suitable
period that allows the berries and herbs to infuse,
you have an essence that should be filtered through
a coffee filter and poured into a bottle. The essence
is highly concentrated and should be diluted with
more alcohol. Taste to find the right dilution.

sea wormwood, sweet gale, sea buckthorn, burnet

An extra element in the production of aromatic
schnapps can be the search for beautiful old bottles
in which to pour the essence and the final product.
There are lots of interesting bottles to be found
at glass-blowers, second-hand dealers and flea
markets.

RESTAUR ANTS & CAFÉS
Where shall
we eat today
Mealtimes on holiday are something most people
look forward to. Delicious gourmet food and
preferably exciting local dishes – or perhaps a
tasty snack at a pavement café.
The Top of Denmark is surrounded by the sea, and therefore fish and shellfish are frequently on the menu in many of
the local restaurants – particularly in coastal towns, where
you’ll also find dedicated seafood restaurants that speci
alise in the fruits of the sea.
If you’d rather sink your teeth into a piece of tender meat
– beef, pork, lamb or poultry – then there are also a wide
range of possibilities.
At the Top of Denmark you’ll find just about every type of
place to eat, including sushi and sandwich restaurants,
cafés, bistros, pizzerias and lots of ethnic restaurants. You
can have the whole world on your plate – or you can choose
traditional Danish dishes.
Bon appétit!
