General presentation
Thy et côte ouest du Jutland
Dunes, moors, lakes and surf villages face the North Sea in the first Danish national park.
To understand what Thy is and the west coast of Jutland, you must look at Thy National Park, Nørre Vorupør and Cold Hawaii. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the coastline, forests, shores and lakes and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

World Heritage
Forteresses circulaires de l’âge des Vikings
The Viking circular fortresses of Denmark strike by their regular, almost geometrical plan, inscribed in sites chosen to control roads and sea crossings. In Aggersborg or Fyrkat, ditches, ups and doors restore the image of a power capable of organizing space, troops and exchanges on a kingdom-wide scale.
Remarkable location
Vendsyssel-Thy
Vendsyssel-Thy It is situated at the northern end of Jutland, between the North Sea, fjords and dunes. The region alternates beaches beaten by the wind, moors, fishing villages and large changing skies; it speaks especially to travellers who love open coasts, slow roads and northern atmospheres.
Nature park
Parc national de Thy
The National Park of Thy Protects a wild ribbon of dunes, moors and plantations between lakes and the North Sea. Routes pass through very open landscapes where wind, light and weather quickly change the experience.
Place indismissible
Nørre Vorupør
Nørre Vorupør conserves a grounding beach where fishing boats are still drawn directly on the sand. The village offers a concrete reading of the coast, between low houses, smoking rooms and powerful waves.
