Danzigmann: Læsø’s Wild Eastern Tip and Natural Sanctuary
Danzigmann is Læsø’s wild and windblown eastern point—a tranquil, unspoiled haven for nature lovers, birdwatchers, walkers, and seekers of true coastal solitude.
Danzigmann, at Læsø’s remote eastern edge, embodies the island’s wildest nature with broad sandy beaches, windswept dunes, and tranquil solitude. Historically shaped by fierce North Sea storms, the area is a haven for Nordic birdlife, distinctive driftwood, and rare coastal flora, making it an essential spot for nature lovers, walkers, and those seeking a genuine escape on Denmark’s ‘Salt Island’.

Local tips
- Pack water and snacks—there are no shops or kiosks at Danzigmann or nearby.
- Early morning or evening offers the best light for photography, as well as the highest chance of spotting wildlife.

- Bring binoculars if interested in birdwatching; migratory species frequent the area in spring and autumn.
- In windy weather, the area can feel exposed; dress accordingly with windproof clothing.
Getting There
-
Driving
From central Læsø, drivers head east through open heath and woodlands toward the island’s wilder edges. The drive leads past fields and sparse summer cottage clusters before the landscape becomes sandy and windswept right at the edge of Danzigmann’s car park. Parking is free and generally available, but during midsummer holidays some spots may fill quickly; there are no tolls. The area is not suitable for large vehicles or campers due to soft sand and narrow access points.
-
Taxi
Taxis from Byrum, the island’s main settlement, cover the distance to Danzigmann in roughly 15–20 minutes, passing local farms, pine woods, and heath as you approach the wild coastal eastern tip. Fares typically range from 120–180 DKK one way, depending on season and time of day. Return trips should be arranged in advance, as taxis do not regularly patrol this remote stretch.
-
Cycling
Cyclists can enjoy a scenic journey across Læsø’s flat, open landscape. The route winds through rural roads and forest trails before opening onto sandy tracks leading to Danzigmann’s windswept shore. The trip from the island’s center typically takes 35–55 minutes depending on wind and cycling pace. There are no bike-specific facilities, and the final approach may require walking bicycles through soft sand.
