With its unique location in the middle of the west coast of Jutland, where the Limfjord flows into the North Sea, Thyboron Harbour offers fantastic sailing conditions with a unique easterly orientation of the Danish North Sea coast. Even in rough weather, the ships "land" gently in the wide opening of the Limfjord and have calmer water through the harbour heads. Sailing is weather independent and ensures stable operations.

Ferring Sø is an inland lake that lies directly on the North Sea. It couldn't be more beautiful. A beautiful, rugged part of Denmark's west coast. The lake is only separated from the sea by a narrow sand dike. A complete circuit is about 9km.

For 25 DKK (adults) you can visit the Sneglehuset Museum. It's quite small and consists of two rooms: a room where you can watch a film about the making of Sneglehuset (in Danish or German) and an exhibition room with lots of shell details, which is lovingly designed.
