Local tips
- Wear sturdy, closed footwear, as you will be walking on grass, gravel and potentially muddy ground around the paddocks.
- Bring a windproof layer; even on sunny days the exposed northwest Jutland countryside can feel breezy and cool.
- Allow time to simply stand quietly by the fences; the alpacas are more likely to approach slowly when visitors are calm and still.
- If visiting with young children, explain beforehand how to move gently and keep voices low around the animals.
- Combine your stop at the farm with a walk in nearby Thy National Park to make a full day of nature and wildlife experiences.

Getting There
-
Car from Thisted
From Thisted town centre, driving to Thypaca Alpaca Farm typically takes about 20–25 minutes, following regional roads through open countryside. The route is straightforward and paved throughout, suitable for standard cars and campervans. There is usually informal parking space on or near the farm grounds at no extra cost, but in wet weather the ground can be soft, so larger vehicles should park on firmer surfaces along the farm entrance where allowed.
-
Regional bus and walk
Public buses connect Thisted and Snedsted in around 20–30 minutes, running several times a day on weekdays and more limited services at weekends. From central Snedsted you should expect an onward walk of roughly 30–40 minutes along rural roads to reach the farm, mainly on flat terrain with no dedicated pavements in places. Bus fares are typically in the range of 25–40 DKK one way within the local travel zones, payable with contactless or regional travel cards.
-
Bicycle from Snedsted
Cycling from Snedsted to the farm is a pleasant option in good weather, taking about 15–25 minutes depending on pace and wind direction. The route follows quiet rural roads with light traffic but limited shoulders, so basic road awareness is important. The terrain is gently undulating, and standard city or touring bikes are sufficient. There is no formal bike parking, but bicycles can usually be secured near farm buildings with a simple lock.

Alpacas in the windswept north of Jutland
Set among fields and big skies on the outskirts of Snedsted, Thypaca Alpaca Farm brings a touch of the Andes to coastal northwest Denmark. The farm sits along quiet country lanes not far from the dune landscapes of Thy, where the North Sea winds shape both land and lifestyle. Here the focus is squarely on alpacas: their calm presence, expressive faces and luxurious fleece, all adapted surprisingly well to the cool maritime climate. The herd usually grazes in roomy paddocks, where their soft humming calls and gentle shuffling are some of the few sounds you hear besides birds and wind. Their thick coats, in shades from creamy white to deep chocolate, move like velvet when they walk. The scenery around the farm remains distinctly Danish, with shelterbelts, open fields and distant farm roofs, but the animals themselves bring a quiet, almost meditative energy.A closer look at gentle camelids
A visit to Thypaca Alpaca Farm is all about slowing down and simply observing these unusual animals. Alpacas are smaller than llamas, with fine-boned legs, large dark eyes and an almost permanently curious expression. Their social nature means they often move as a group, watching visitors with interest while keeping a polite distance until they feel comfortable. Staff or owners may explain how the herd is managed, how often the animals are shorn, and what makes alpaca fibre so prized for garments and textiles. You can see for yourself how dense and springy the fleece feels, and how well it insulates in the cool Danish air. Children in particular are often captivated by the animals’ gentle behaviour and comical haircuts after shearing.Everyday life on a Danish alpaca smallholding
Beyond the novelty of alpacas, Thypaca is a working small farm where seasonal rhythms shape each day. In spring, you might glimpse the first fresh growth in the pastures and watch the herd enjoy longer, lighter days. Summer brings lush grass and more time outdoors for everyone, with the animals often resting in loose groups, legs folded neatly beneath their bodies. Later in the year, the focus shifts to managing shelter and feed as Atlantic storms roll across Jutland. Watching how easily the alpacas endure wind and drizzle underlines their adaptability. Their fleece grows thick and fluffy, and they seek out drier ground and sheltered corners of the paddocks when weather is at its roughest.Between Thy’s wild nature and farm tranquillity
One of the farm’s quiet strengths is its position between rural calm and some of Denmark’s wildest coastal scenery. After time spent with the animals, the memory of their soft humming, long necks and deliberate movements tends to stay with you when you later wander the dunes, heath and forest of nearby Thy National Park. The contrasts are striking: roaring surf and silent fields, untamed landscapes and the ordered routine of a small farm. Because the site is compact and low-key, it fits easily into a broader day out in the region. It can serve as a gentle counterpoint to more physically demanding walks, offering a chance to rest among animals rather than elements. The encounter also highlights how local farms connect with the surrounding nature, working with the same climate that shapes the national park just a short drive away.A relaxed stop for families and road‑trippers
Thypaca Alpaca Farm is especially appealing for travellers moving at an unhurried pace: families on school holidays, couples exploring the west coast, or campervan owners searching for characterful rural stops. Time here is rarely about ticking off sights, but about small moments—an alpaca edging closer for a sniff, the sound of hooves on gravel, or a sudden burst of sunshine over the paddocks. With its mix of Nordic countryside and South American animals, the farm offers an experience that is modest in scale yet pleasantly distinctive. It is a place where you can spend an hour or two reconnecting with animals and landscape before continuing deeper into Jutland’s broad horizons.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
