  The story of Thy – from the Stone Age to surfing culture
  
  The objects' stories and modern forms of communication
  At Thisted Museum you can get closer to the good stories about Thy - the many years and the great lines - and about the area's contacts with the wider world from the first Stone Age people to today's entrepreneurial culture.
  The museum opened in the summer of 2023 in completely new, beautiful surroundings and with updated information. At this "Thyboernes Nationalmuseum" you can visit seven permanent exhibitions, where the focus is on the objects' stories about life in this area.   
  In the Gravhøjen exhibition, which is about Thy's rich bronze age, you can meet the Kaller Fund, which, among other things, consists of a unique ceremonial axe; a find that is on a par with the sun chariot and gives us an insight into a past religion. You can also see interesting objects that came to the area in the Viking Age as a result of trade or robbery, and you can get up close to a rune stone and practice writing with runes. 
  But it's not just about Thy in the very old days, because you can follow the story right up to our own time. Who are the Thybos really? Some have lived here for many generations, while others have moved here with a surfboard under their arm and a dream of what Thy is or can become. 
  In the museum's attic you can experience history at a child's level and play through what you have seen in the exhibitions.

  Fossil- og Molermuseet

  11.44 km

  The museum shows an impressive collection of fossils and tells the story about the mo-clay's formation and its utilization in modern days. This is also the area where there have been found the most and the best fossils – the turtle “Luffe”, Denmark’s longest truck, huge ikait crystals just to mention a few.

  The moler emerged about 55 million years ago at the bottom of a big ocean, which covered the area in which Mors and Fur are placed today. The moler consists of a mixture of fine clay and incomprehensible amounts of microscopic diatomite, which lived, died, and sank to the bottom of the moler ocean.

  There is also an area with microscopes where you can examine the moler yourself. With a small pick or hammer and split a stone crosswise. The inside can reveal the contours of a bird, a fish, or maybe a tortoise. Combined with the beautiful landscapes, a fossil hunt is a unique experience.

  In the beautiful surroundings you will find a nature trail, which leads through one of the moler graves and past excavated houses from the Viking Ages and the Middle Ages.
  You are welcome to search for fossils at the bottom of the grave. However, it is not allowed to search for fossils in the steep walls due to landslide danger. You can have your findings assessed in the museum. Suitable for handicapped.

  The Museum of Mors

  The Fossil- and Molermuseum is a part of Museum Mors. When you have paid the entrance fee you can free visit: Dansk Støberimuseum, Dueholm Kloster og Skarregaard.

  Bunker Museum Hanstholm - Denmark's largest bunker museum

  19.07 km

  It consists of Hanstholm's unique 2500m2 museum bunker, where several of the rooms have been restored to their original appearance, so you can see how the soldiers lived. In the bunker there are also some exciting exhibitions.

  The battery was built in 1941 together with a similar battery at Kristiansand in Norway, blocking the entrance to the Skagerrak, to keep the English fleet out. The battery consisted of four large 38cm guns, each of which had a weight of 110 tons. The guns could fire a distance of 55km... almost halfway to Norway!

  Interactive exhibition
  The exhibition center on top of the bunker houses the exhibition "Enemy & Neighbour - Hanstholm occupied!" The exhibition is about life in Denmark's strongest fortress during World War II. With the people in focus, the story is told by both the German soldiers and civilian life in the shadow of the fortifications, and how the occupiers and the occupied lived together.

  On tour with the ammunition train
  Hop on the museum train and take a tour in and around the battery where you pass through an ammunition bunker and one of the bunkers that housed the 38cm cannon. The museum train will take you through the historic terrain along the original narrow gauge track that the Germans built to transport the heavy ammunition to the cannons. The train runs every day during the summer and also in week 42 (Autumn Holiday). The trip is one kilometer long and lasts about ten minutes.

  Scenic walks in the occupants footsteps
  At Bunker Museum Hanstholm you will find a beautiful and varied forest that was before, just a bare and rugged dune landscape and home to many of the german army’s bunkers. Today you can go on wonderful walks in the nature here.

  Explore the many bunkers scattered across the landscape, some underground, others built as lookout points whose foremost role was to spot the enemy. During the year, there are also several guided bunker walks which are free to participate. The dates for the bunker walks can be found on the museum's website or facebook page.

  Hanstholm 1 Open-air Museum
  In the sand dunes south of Hanstholm you will find the open-air museum Hanstholm 1, which is one of the best preserved coastal batteries in Denmark. The Open-air Museum Hanstholm 1 is also part of the Bunker Museum Hanstholm, so start or end your museum day with a visit to the sand dunes. It’s a great experience for the whole family to walk around the hilly bunker landscape.

  Explore the beautiful, undisturbed surroundings and see if you can find all 19 bunkers. They are pretty much all open, so you can go inside and imagine what it was like to lie there and guard a part of the Skagerrak from land.

  The Atlantic Wall in North Jutland
  In collaboration with other bunker museums in North Jutland, and out of approx. 100 local WWII bunker locations, we have selected 24 of them which we think are really worth a visit. There is an info board at the locations, giving information about the site and its history.

You can also use the link here: www.atlantvolden-nordjylland.dkk
