Thy National Park
With its rugged, windswept dune heath, several hundred lakes, and twisted, sand-swept forest, this national park is one of Denmark's proudest treasures. Red deer roam the park freely, and it is not uncommon to see seals lounging around on the long, sandy beaches, but chances are you'll meet few other visitors; there are more than 200 km (124 miles) of lonely biking and hiking trails. You can also explore the park by horseback, spend a night at one of the many shelters, and fish at many of the lakes. The park stretches from Hanstholm lighthouse in the north to Agger Tange in the south, and you can access it from anywhere; entry is free, and the park is open day- and year-round.
