Travelogue
The plan was that we would drive from home to Soltau on the first day and spend the night at a campsite there. The start of the trip was anything but ideal, because after just an hour of driving we were stuck in a traffic jam, or rather in congested traffic, and lost almost an hour there. Then we continued on the A7 across Germany. There were repeated minor delays during the journey due to the many construction sites. Despite the delays, we decided early on to drive on to Flensburg if possible instead of to Soltau as planned and spend our first night there. So we parked our van after around 12 hours of driving and a distance of almost 1000 km.

We spent three nights at pitch number 82. The five pitches around us were empty. There were generally only a few guests at the campsite. This guaranteed us peace and relaxation.
We booked this site online before we arrived. The site is ideally located in the immediate vicinity of the "Servicehus 2" where there is a kitchen equipped with several gas hobs, microwaves and ovens and of course several sinks. Outside there are further sinks and a large grill. The toilet/shower facilities were always clean and above all spacious and modern. Washing machines and tumble dryers are also available in this service building. We did not use the bathing facilities.
A little tip before you arrive: buy enough food, because the shop at reception is small. The nearest Lidl is in Skagen, about a 10-minute drive away.

Since we were already in the very north of Denmark, a trip to the northernmost point of Denmark was definitely worth it, or even a must. You can drive almost to the northernmost point by bike, camper or car. The last stretch has to be covered on foot along the beach. It is absolutely impressive how the Baltic and North Seas meet at Denmark's northernmost point (pictures 4 and 5).

On our return by bike from Denmark's northernmost point (Grenen) we saw the signpost that showed the way to "Den Tilsandede Kirke". We decided to ride about a kilometer to the parking lot where we left the bikes. After a walk of about 500 meters through the forest we saw the sand-covered church in the middle of a clearing.
The attraction can also be easily reached by bike.

The Råbjerg Mile nature reserve is within walking distance (approx. 3 km) of the campsite. An impressive shifting dune that is (still) located inland. The 120 hectare sand dune is 41 meters high at its highest point. Apart from a few (very) few tourists, we were mostly alone on this impressive sand dune. A trip there is definitely worth it.

When we were planning our trip, we kept coming across travel reports about Thorup Beach. According to reports on the Internet and YouTube, they also serve delicious fish sandwiches. So we decided to visit Thorup Beach on the way to the second campsite in Blåvand. When we got there, there were only a handful of tourists, so the beach was practically deserted. The famous fishing boats had mostly been pulled ashore (see pictures).
Unfortunately, we were unable to enjoy the equally famous fish sandwiches as the only fish restaurant did not open until 11:00 am.

Between Thorup Strand and Blåvand lies Hvide Sande, a popular destination for surfers, kitesurfers and other water sports enthusiasts. There is also a beautiful, almost endless sandy beach. The few beachgoers enjoyed the beautiful but windy weather. The large wind turbines that were built in the middle of the sea also caught our attention. In the harbor of Hvide Sande is "omhu:". This company collects garbage from the sea with the aim of making jewelry, bags, clothes and much more in their workshop (https://www.om-hu.dk/). We couldn't resist and bought ourselves a ring and keychain. After (a short) shopping trip, we ate fish and chips with delicious fish from the North Sea right next door. Then our journey continued to Blåvand.

The campsite is located directly behind a dune on the beach. The path to the sea is short (approx. 400 meters) and easy to reach on foot. The beach adjacent to the campsite is definitely a dream. We were on site 01-36, which we booked and paid for conveniently via the Internet from home.
The campsite's offering is hard to beat, as nothing is missing, be it restaurants, a wellness area (3 hours free between Monday and Thursday), a water park, a children's playground, a fishing lake (1 fish per day is free), a western village, a dog park, a sports field and much more. The entire complex is very well maintained.
We noticed, however, that there are a lot of dogs all over the campsite. The barking of dogs can be quite annoying. The only downside is the WiFi network. As a Swiss citizen who pays for data roaming, it is advisable to get an eSIM if you want to surf the internet. The WiFi on the campsite is weak and unstable.

Blavandshuk is the westernmost point of Denmark and is located a good 4 kilometers from the Hvidbjerg Strand Feriepark campsite.
This excursion destination is easy to reach via the sandy beach. The sandy beach is beautiful and there were only a few people around in the morning. There were also some old bunkers from World War II on the beach, which can be recognized as large horses (see photos). At the westernmost point there is an old bunker complex and a lighthouse. The area is simply gorgeous, almost kitschy. A trip there is definitely worth it.

The municipality of Blåvand has about 200 inhabitants but more than 2000 holiday homes (source: Wikipedia). Blåvand is a typical holiday region and this is also reflected in the main road that runs right through the town. In addition to holiday homes, there are countless souvenir shops and other shops that are geared towards tourism.

After Denmark had presented us with beautiful weather for 10 days, the weather forecast for the last two days was not particularly good. The weather forecast predicted light rain. It was also supposed to be cloudy and windy. So we spontaneously decided to go home two days earlier than planned.
Our conclusion about Denmark: A beautiful country, we will be back!

Auf der Rückkehr mit dem Fahrrad vom nördlichsten Punkt von Dänemark (Grenen) sahen wir den Wegweiser welcher den Weg zur „Den Tilsandede Kirke“ anzeigte. Kurz entschlossen fuhren wir rund einen Kilometer bis zum Parkplatz wo wir die Fahrräder zurückliessen. Nach einem Fussmarsch von ca. 500 Meter durch den Wald sahen wir die versandete Kirche mitten in einer Waldlichtung.
Die Sehenswürdigkeit kann auch bequem mit dem Fahrrad erreicht werden.
In Gehdistanz (ca. 3 km) zum Campingplatz liegt das Naturschutzgebiet Råbjerg Mile. Eine eindrucksvolle Wanderdüne, welche sich (noch) im Landesinnern befindet. Die 120 Hektar grosse Sanddüne ist beim höchsten Punkt 41 Meter hoch. Nebst ein paar (sehr) wenigen Touristen waren wir aber grösstenteils alleine auf dieser eindrucksvollen Sanddüne. Ein Ausflug dorthin lohnt sich definitiv.

We spent three nights at pitch number 82. The five pitches around us were empty. There were generally only a few guests at the campsite. This guaranteed us peace and relaxation.
We booked this site online before we arrived. The site is ideally located in the immediate vicinity of the "Servicehus 2" where there is a kitchen equipped with several gas hobs, microwaves and ovens and of course several sinks. Outside there are further sinks and a large grill. The toilet/shower facilities were always clean and above all spacious and modern. Washing machines and tumble dryers are also available in this service building. We did not use the bathing facilities.
A little tip before you arrive: buy enough food, because the shop at reception is small. The nearest Lidl is in Skagen, about a 10-minute drive away.

We couldn't resist and bought ourselves a ring and keychain. After (a short) shopping trip, we ate fish and chips with delicious fish from the North Sea right next door.

This excursion destination is easy to reach via the sandy beach. The sandy beach is beautiful and there were only a few people around in the morning. There were also some old bunkers from World War II on the beach, which can be recognized as large horses (see photos). At the westernmost point there is an old bunker complex and a lighthouse. The area is simply gorgeous, almost kitschy. A trip there is definitely worth it.

Grüsse Rolf
Dänemark ist wunderschön! Wir wünschen euch eine schöne, unvergessliche Reise!
