Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse and the Shifting Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Rubjerg Knude dune with its lighthouse is one of the most scenic destinations in Jutland. On the 50 meter high cliff between Lønstrup and Løkken, a dune up to 25 meters high has formed over a length of almost two kilometers. A good 100 years ago there was little sand at this point. The lighthouse was built in 1900 along with four outbuildings. At that time the tower was 200 meters inland. Over the years the sea got closer to the lighthouse and the dune sand piled higher and higher around the buildings. All attempts to keep the sand away from the tower failed and so the dune grew to a height of 50 meters by 1968. The lighthouse was no longer visible from the sea and its operation was discontinued. In the years that followed, all efforts to curb the growth of the dunes were in vain. In 1990 the area was finally placed under nature protection.

Relocation of the Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Fascinating, moving, authentic. The wild dune landscape and the story of the lighthouse's rescue make it a unique experience. It's perfect for anyone who wants to combine nature and history in a breathtaking setting.

This is certainly the quickest way to the lighthouse, but also the most boring. If you want to go to the tower with crowds, this is the place for you. There are also toilets at the parking lot.

Mårup Church Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

04/2018: In the meantime only the imposing anchor and a few graves are available. The demolition edge has advanced several meters into the interior of the country.

Lønstrup Beach

Highlight • Beach

Lønstrup has a beautiful sandy beach with good bathing conditions, as there are calm lagoons with low water levels between the wave breakers. You are not allowed to drive on the beach in Lønstrup, but there are good parking conditions just a few meters from the beach. At the foot of the cliff, small dunes have formed, where you can relax after a fresh sea bath. To the north of the boat place (harbor) there is a large stretch of beach, where a few white bathhouses and often a few fishing boats form a beautiful backdrop. To the south of the boat area there is a good bathing beach approx. 500 meters long along the breakwater. Lønstrup has the white bathing water flag, which indicates good bathing conditions.

Sunset on the beach at Lønstrup [DK 🇩🇰]

Highlight • Beach

The best place for beautiful pictures (with and without a camera) of the sunset is here!
[I'll definitely find pictures from one of the summer stays without clouds... ;-) ]

What - only two photos??? Yep, it was the farewell tour, so to speak, and since we had already ridden this lap once at the beginning, we used the tailwind on the way back today for a few (14😎) Strava records. This is my declared favorite route from the Furreby campsite, even if the former coastal path is unfortunately no …

Vacation 😎, and then the first three days in what feels like a second home, Løkken 🇩🇰.
After a long drive, a short stop in Aarhus, successfully setting up the tent ⛺️ and cooling off in the calm North Sea, it's time for a bike ride.
From the campsite in Furreby it goes via Nr.Lyngby to Lønstrup including a detour …

We were really lucky again on Monday: the weather app predicted a completely cloudy day, but the photos tell a different story. On "our" cliffs, paragliders were already enjoying the increasing breeze at breakfast time. So, before we saddled up, we briefly pushed our bikes to "Sol Pletten."

A small, fine tour that was suggested (sort of) by Komoot. The path up along the cliffs was spectacular in many ways: The view up there is really sensational!!... But to call this path a cycling route..., well!!! There were sections where you had to push or carry your bike, for example due to the extremely deep sandy ground, sometimes …

After morning (shopping) rounds through Hjørring and Hirtshals, we were drawn back to a favorite route. It's still quiet in Lønstrup; the big summer rush will change that in a few weeks.

For us, our stay in 🇩🇰 ends tomorrow, too, because then the ferry 🛳 will take us to the next country 🇳🇴.
