Very nice lighthouse with of course a great view over the Baltic Sea. Next door there is a clean restroom and an instant coffee machine.

Beautiful harbor with good restaurants for small and large appetites. Highly recommended: buy fresh fish and prepare it in the holiday home. It's not difficult at all and tastes much better than the goods from the freezer in the supermarket.

Tinkerup Beach

Highlight • Beach

This sandy beach near Tinkerup is a pretty popular spot to go swimming in the open sea on northern coast above Copenhagen. It's a very quiet and green place as well.

Esrom Monastery

Highlight • Historical Site

Nicely located, ancient. It is worth visiting the garden (!) in peace and talking to the people. Almost too interesting for children: the barrage behind the inn.
