Excursion Rubjerg knude lighthouse & lønstrup village tour at Aalborg

This scenic tour will take you on a magnificent drive where you will learn about the strong influence of the natural forces in Northern Jutland and experience the real Danish small-town charm up close.

Enjoy the scenic drive of approx.1 hour towards your first stop, Rubjerg Knude, a place that dramatically illustrates the powerful and unforgiving forces of nature that characterizes this region.

Rubjerg Knude lighthouse

The Rubjerg Knude lighthouse was built in 1900 on top of a 60 meters coastal slope, approx. 200 meters from the sea. As coastal erosion tore away at the slope, sand blew up and formed a massive dune that eventually covered the lighthouse building. Today, only the tower of the lighthouse is visible over the dunes. Meanwhile, the coast has eroded to only a couple of meters from the lighthouse and experts believe that the lighthouse will vanish into the sea within the next few years unless moved away from the coastline.

Don't miss the opportunity to experience one of Denmark's most beautiful sites, before it is too late.

Transfer from parking lot to the lighthouse by tractor pulled wagon and follow your guide to a leisurely stroll in the mighty sand dunes or climb the steps to the top of the old lighthouse.

Lønstrup village, coffee break at the Den Blå Café,stroll in the village

Your next stop after a short drive is the village of Lønstrup, a former fishing village, today a charming pearl located right by the North Sea. The village is a popular holiday venue for artists, arts and craftsmen, actors and composers whom trough times have contributed to the 'artistic touch' throughout the village.

Enjoy a cup of coffee and a sweet treat at Den Blå Café, located in Lønstrup's old cinema building before continuing on a casual stroll down the main road of Lønstrup Village, scattered with glass blowers, potters, jewelry artists and small galleries.

During your free time you also have the chance to take the short walk down to the beach, where the local fishing cotters generally are lined up.
