Discover more about Nationalpark Thy, visitor centre Stenbjerg Landingsplads

Nestled on the edge of Europe's oldest national park, Stenbjerg Landingsplads is where stark North Sea winds sculpt the dunes and history is written in salt and timber. The visitor centre stands within a cluster of iconic whitewashed fishermen’s huts, their neat lines forming a striking contrast against the rugged coastal landscape. Originally built in the early 1900s, these buildings served as the base for generations of fishers who braved the stormy Skagerrak. Today, their doors open to curious travelers eager to discover tales of resilience, courage, and adaptation—themes that run as deeply as the roots of the native marram grass outside. Exhibitions inside the centre trace not only the human story but also the park’s exceptional biodiversity. Photographs, interactive displays, and seasonal exhibitions introduce you to a world where red deer roam ancient pine forests, rare coastal birds nest on secluded beaches, and heather moors erupt in purple in late summer. There are always friendly rangers on hand—sometimes with hot coffee—ready to help you customize your park adventures, whether it’s a peaceful hike, wild swimming, or birdwatching across the windswept heathlands. Just beyond the huts, the rhythmic crash of the North Sea beckons. Broad, empty beaches stretch as far as the eye can see, and driftwood piles mark the places where storms left their mark. Look for the small blue boat still drawn up on the pebbly sand—a living reminder of the fishing village that once thrived here. The site is a living time capsule honoring Denmark’s enduring bond with ocean and earth, making Stenbjerg Landingsplads both a launching point and a destination for those who want to experience the soul of Thy.
