Visit Denmark’s westernmost point

At Denmark’s westernmost point – position 55 33.51 N/08 05.07 E – 18 m above sea level on Horns Bjerge stands Blåvandshuk Lighthouse.

It’s 39 metres and 170 steps to the top of the lighthouse – but count them yourself! The lamp height is 55 m above sea level, and a magnificent view awaits from the top! To the north and east you can see the area around Vejers Strand and Kallesmærsk Hede. To the southeast you can see Blåvand and Blåvand Strand with the four mules created by artist Bill Woodrow. Beyond the sea you can see the Horns Rev Wind Farm.

Directions

Food and drink

Fancy something sweet or something to drink after the trip to the top? At the ticket office you can buy coffee, ice cream and soft drinks, and lots of other treats for the journey, which you can enjoy outside with the dunes and the fresh westerly wind as your backdrop. If you’re looking for a bigger meal, you’ll find a good selection of cafés and places to eat in Blåvand, about 3 km from the lighthouse.

Shopping

Take a little souvenir from the West Coast home with you. At the ticket office you’ll find a wide selection of souvenirs, books, games, ice cream and soft drinks, available throughout the lighthouse’s opening hours.

Accessibility

The trip to the top of Blåvandshuk Lighthouse involves 170 steps, so unfortunately the lighthouse is not accessible for wheelchair users. The path up to the lighthouse is paved with pebble stones.

Parking

Right by the lighthouse you’ll find a gravel car park with space for both cars and buses.

Learning

It is free for schools and institutions to visit the museum. This applies to primary schools, continuation schools, private schools, independent schools, upper secondary schools, technical schools and business colleges. Likewise for nurseries, kindergartens, childminders and after-school clubs. Please notify us of your arrival in advance and well ahead of your visit, which also gives teachers and educators free admission.

We always recommend combining a visit with a programme either at the museum, out in the landscape, or at your school. Contact our education department NaturKulturVarde – for contact details and inspiration, see more here.

Book guide

School class, association outing, private party? Everyone can enjoy a guided tour. We offer guided tours around the exciting landscape surrounding Blåvandshuk Lighthouse – read much more about offers and prices here.

Prices for special opening:

DKK 400 per commenced hour plus admission (group rate). Min. 20 guests. The price applies if the special opening is between 8:00 and 18:00. For evening events, agree the price with the museum.

Not just an outstanding view..

The Horns Rev Wind Farm Visitor Center tells the story of wind power, sustainable energy, electricity generation and much more. Turn a giant nut, build a wind turbine out of Lego and head to the top of an offshore wind turbine with VR goggles. The visitor centre is run by the wind energy companies Vattenfall, Ørsted and Energinet in collaboration with Vardemuseerne.

Also step through the "Gateway to the Wadden Sea National Park", where Blåvandshuk forms the northernmost part. The exhibition tells the story of the dynamic Wadden Sea. Through animations and information boards, visitors can dive into the story of the world’s largest tidal-influenced natural area and learn more about the dynamic landscape and terms such as erosion, sand transport and the ever-changing tidal flats.
