The Bunkers in North Jutland

Through time, the concrete bunkers, made by the Germans during World War II, have been discovered in the sand, uncovered by the waves of the ocean. You will find them along the entire west coast of North Jutland, from Skagen in the North to Agger at the Limfjord. The bunkers even go further down to the German border. You may also discover one of these bunkers in the deep forest of North Jutland.

Bunker Museums in North Jutland

Some of the largest and best-kept bunker facilities are located in North Jutland. The bunker museum in Hanstholm in Thy is the largest of its kind in Denmark. Here you will find the most complete German defense facility on the West Coast. In Frederikshavn, the canons at Bangsbo Fortress still stand. It was too difficult to move them, so they were left behind. The Bunkermuseum in Hirtshals is an outdoor museum, where you can walk amongst the 54 bunkers scattered along the coast.
