Go out and find amber on the beach

Amber hunting

When the winds blow, they shake up the seabed and send the amber with the waves onto the beach. It is therefore obvious to go amber hunting on the beaches in and around Hirtshals. Here you have the opportunity to find a unique piece of “Denmark’s gold”, and get a good shake through that you can only get out here on the west coast. Finding amber is not always easy – how many times have you bent down for something you thought was amber? The secret is that you have to look for a stick layer, which consists of sticks and seaweed that have been washed ashore after a good and strong storm. Sometimes you will see many seagulls collecting food in the stick layer. It often takes many walks along the sea before you find your first piece of amber – but once you have tried to find amber, you feel a great joy and you can be seized by amber fever.

Museum visits

A museum visit is a source of many stories that can put life into perspective, and which are often conveyed at a child-friendly level. For example, go to Hirtshals Museum and learn about the city's development conveyed through exciting exhibitions, and experience the city's "secret" elixir Bjesk. Or take a stroll through Tornby Gl. Købmandsgård and experience the exhibition about the ship trade between Denmark and Norway, where brave men crossed the Skagerrak. Here it is also worth visiting the old grocery store, which sells delicious specialties and wonderful trinkets. Here you get an authentic experience with the smell of freshly ground coffee, cured sausage, cheese and soap and you can experience what it was like to shop over the counter before the world got stress and plastic. Other museums worth visiting are Bindslev Handicraft Museum with a large collection of old-fashioned crafts and Herregården Odden, which houses a unique collection by the painter JF Willumsen.
