Spring by the North Sea
Once more, the brighter times are on their way as greys and browns gives way to greens and blues. The spring sun is growing ever brighter over the coasts and dunes. Experiences await for visitors both young and old alike.
Experiences by the North Sea
The North Sea offers something for everyone. From natural landscapes and wide sandy beaches to culture and activities. You can visit museums, try out water sports, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings of West Jutland’s nature.
"Vesterhavskøkkenet" is Danish for the North Sea cuisine
North Sea cuisine is a long story about changing landscapes over time with the salty sea, the strident westerly wind and the wide, open expanses all bringing something to the table, and combining to create a very special taste sensation. For centuries, fish have hung to dry in their shoals. From halibut and dab to dried delights and fish so fresh it still tastes like the sea. Be sure not to miss Dabsens Dag (Day of the Dab) in Hvide Sande in late spring. And then there’s the legendary Sildefestival (Herring Festival) at Hvide Sande Harbour on the last weekend in April.
