Discover more about Nationalpark Thy, visitor centre Stenbjerg Landingsplads

Thy National Park, Denmark’s first national park, stretches across a dramatic realm of sand dunes, coastal heathland, pine forests, and marshes, all shaped by centuries of wind, water, and tradition. The Stenbjerg Landingsplads Visitor Centre stands as a welcoming landmark where the preserved history of coastal fishing meets the wild, elemental beauty of North Jutland. The open cluster of whitewashed fishermen’s huts—once central to local fisheries—now houses engaging exhibitions that bring to life the stories of resilient families, the challenges of the North Sea, and the evolution of the landscape since the 19th century. Inside, you’ll find hands-on displays about the remarkable biodiversity of the park, including rare birds migrating along the western flyway, delicate orchids, and elusive red deer. Volunteer guides and park rangers often share insider knowledge about the best trails, birdwatching towers, and secret spots for spotting seals along the coastline. Temporary exhibitions and local artisan events frequently animate the site, especially in summer. From here, you can wander out toward wind-sculpted beaches or inland to the tranquil wetlands and ancient forests that set Thy apart from any other Danish wilderness. Visitors of all ages are drawn to Stenbjerg not only for its authentic history, but also the atmospheric juxtaposition of rugged sea and gentle meadows. Picnic tables, marked walking trails, and panoramic coastal viewpoints invite you to linger. There is no entrance fee, and the site offers basic amenities, though its rural placement means provisions and prepared food are limited. The thatched buildings, once daily workplaces, now provide shelter and insight into a way of life carved from the dunes. Every visit serves as both a journey into Denmark’s natural heritage and a celebration of Thy’s quietly defiant spirit.
