Vigsø Battery Bunkers

Vigsø Batteriet

German World War II bunkers scattered along the North Sea coast. Some have been pushed onto the beach by the waves, and the quiet beach is good for a stroll.

Vigsø lies east of Hanstholm. During World War II, German forces built gun batteries here. Today dozens of concrete bunkers, tilted as the coast has eroded, rest in the sand and dunes, creating a unique landscape that can be explored freely. Next to them are a quiet beach and an area of holiday cottages, with far fewer visitors than the west coast. Entry is free. Do not climb the tilted structures. A car is needed, and you can visit together with the Hanstholm Bunker Museum.
