Hjerting Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Experience the scenery with the sea as a focal point, visit a national park and explore elements of recent local history when you travel to Hjerting.

If you like magnificent scenery, your trip to Hjerting offers exciting elements for your holiday. You can experience a unique sea area and visit the most famous coast in Denmark, which also offers a fascinating insight into Danish history. Hjerting is in the south-western part of Denmark, near Ho Bugt (bay), which forms the most northern part of Vadehavet national park, which is an internationally protected area.

Vadehavet is one of the most important wetlands in the world and you can experience a rich wildlife with birds and fish. You also have a unique opportunity to experience the “black sun” phenomenon, when hundreds of thousands of starlings gather in enormous flocks. Go for a walk in the shallow water while you collect oysters for dinner. On the sandbanks in Vadehavet you can often see seals and, in the summer, you might even spot a seal cub.

On the other side of Ho Bay, the North Sea is only a few kilometres away, offering you a completely different experience with high waves and water as far as you can see. The North Sea has long, wide sandy beaches and dunes that you must see when you are in the area. Go for a walk along the beach and see some of the remnants from the Second World War in the shape of old bunkers that are located in the dunes.

In Hjerting a 660-metre long promenade and beach park has been established, and from here you can swim or enjoy the view all year round. In the summer there is a wide selection of water and beach activities, but you can also find activities that you can enjoy all year long. You can also spend a weekend or a longer holiday in Hjerting exploring the region. You can go to Esbjerg and see the fascinating Mennesket ved Havet (Men at Sea), a sculpture that looks out onto sea.

It is easy to get to Esbjerg on the motorway if you are coming from the west. If you are coming from the north, for example Billund Airport, which is about an hour away, take road 20.

Visit Hjerting and connect with the sea and natural surroundings when you walk from island to island enjoying the delicacies from the sea. You will have a unique experience that you won't forget for a long time.
