Ferry Harbour Hirtshals

Ferry Hirtshals

Shuttle between Hirtshals and Kristiansand

In Denmark there are still a lot of intact nature and sparsely populated landscapes. This is an excellent compensation for afflicted townspeople. The small town of Hirtshals is situated amidst a typical Danish coast area. Principally the 15,000 inhabitants make their living from tourism.

Due to the ferries from Hirtshals to Kristiansand or the ferry from Hirtshals to Bergen which are both favourite destinations in Norway quite a lot of visitors come to the small town.

Above all tourists who make a round trip by ferry favour the port of Hirtshals for a stopover. Starting from here one has to go on the waterway direction north, like by the ferry from Hirtshals to Stavanger in the southern part of Norway.

Walk through Hirtshals

Hirtshals is quite overseeable and can be best explored on a walk. One passes by the historic white lighthouse with its remarkable observation deck. From there one has a breathtaking view over Jutland. There are also a lot of relicts from World War II.

As part of the Atlantic wall many bunkers had been positioned there, that still exist today. Some of them can be visited as well.  Apart from that Hirtshals offers everything one needs for a holiday in Denmark. The small grocery stores offer all the things for the daily demand. There are comprehensive supplies of fresh fish that one should not miss.

From Hirtshals to Tornby beach

When there is nice weather an excursion to the nearby Tornby beach a unique nature reserve is highly recommended. Such an intact coast and such a beauty of fauna and flora are very rare in Europe.
