Local tips
- Check the association’s event calendar in advance—some seasonal walks and excursions require booking.

- If travelling with kids, ask about the family-friendly activities and hands-on displays available in the clubhouse.
Getting There
-
Walking
From the heart of Thy National Park, a scenic path leads from the main visitor hub toward the coast, offering open views over the dunes and heath. The Biologisk Forening clubhouse is a comfortable ~15–25 minute walk from major trailheads, depending on your starting point. As you approach, the building is set near a line of coastal vegetation and marked by interpretive signs about the local environment.
-
Public Transport
Local buses connect Thisted town and several park entrances with stops near the association. From Thisted’s rail station, bus rides typically take 25–35 minutes and cost around 24–30 DKK. From the nearest bus stop, it’s a short, well-signposted walk along a coastal path to the venue.
-
Private Car
Driving from the main areas of Thy National Park, you’ll find free parking offered close to the clubhouse, but spaces can be limited during events. The final approach follows roads with beautiful views of open heath and the distant North Sea—look for the cluster of visitor cars and an information board. No tolls or parking fees apply, but the site is rural, so check hours before you visit.
-
Taxi
Taxis from Thisted town center or nearby accommodation typically take 15–20 minutes, costing approximately 160–210 DKK each way, based on current rates. Taxis can drop passengers right outside the main entrance.
