Hanstholm Lighthouse
Hanstholm Fyr
A white lighthouse completed in 1843 whose beam was once the strongest in Denmark. From the top you can look out over the North Sea and the bunkers.
Hanstholm Lighthouse stands on high ground by the sea. It came into operation in 1843 and was once equipped with the most powerful light in Denmark. The lighthouse is open for climbing in summer, and from the top you can see the North Sea, the Hanstholm fishing harbor, and the World War II bunkers around it. A small exhibition at the base covers the lighthouse's history. There is a small fee to climb, and it is generally open from May to September, though times vary, so check on site. It is about 1 km from the bunker museum, and you can visit both together.
