Nationalpark Thy Essentials

Nationalpark Thy, Denmark's first national park, spans 244 square kilometers of wind-swept wilderness along the Jutland coast. This selection features maritime landmarks like the 60-meter Hanstholm Lighthouse and the granite Lodbjerg Fyr. Explore the unique fishing culture at Vorupør, where boats are still winched onto the sand, or visit WWII history at the Hanstholm I battery. The park's diverse landscape is represented by the Agger Tange bird sanctuary, the high vantage point of Isbjerg, and the rugged North Sea beaches of Agger and Vorupør.
