Thy National Park
Nationalpark Thy
Denmark's first national park, a 55-km stretch of dunes, heathland and dune lakes along the North Sea, known as “Denmark's last wilderness.”
Thy National Park was established in 2008. It extends from Hanstholm in the north to Agger Tange at the southern end, covers about 244 square kilometers, and consists of coastal dunes, heathland, plantation forests and dozens of clear dune lakes, home to red deer and various wading birds. The park is free to enter and has multiple marked hiking trails and cycling routes. The most classic is the dune trail from Vorupør to Stenbjerg, along with segments of the West Coast Trail (Vestkyststien) for hiking. Driving is prohibited in dune areas, and you should avoid trampling vegetation. Rip currents along the coast are strong, so only swim at beaches with lifeguards. Driving is the most convenient way to get around, and buses run from Thisted to Vorupør and Klitmøller.
