Expore Denmark's first National Park

The western part of Thy has been shaped by centuries of sand migration and is today an area of long coastlines, sand dunes and heaths, lakes, and plantations. It is an interesting and valuable interaction between cultural history and nature which is a carrying part of the idea of National park Thy. National park Thy extends from Hanstholm lighthouse in the north to Agger Tange in the south and is in the east defined by agricultural land. In this area, the arctic and southern European types of nature are meeting. The dunes are from European meaning and have many dwarf shrubs, but relatively little heather.
