Hornbæk Beach
BEACH
Hornbæk's gorgeous Blue-Flag beach is the best on the north coast and the town's main at-
traction. The sand is white and the air scented with salt and wild roses. The beach stretches
out to either side of the harbour, and even though it borders the town, it's pleasantly unde-
veloped, with all the commercial facilities on the other side of the dunes. The eastern side
is where the kitesurfers and windsurfers hang out: you'll need your own gear to join them.
From the train station it's a five-minute walk - about 200m - directly north along
Havnevej to the harbour. Climb the dunes to the left and you're on the beach.
Hornbæk Plantage
WALKING
For an enjoyable nature stroll, Hornbæk Plantage, a public woodland that extends 3.5km
along the coast east from Hornbæk, has numerous interconnecting trails branching out on
either side of Rte 237. One trail hugs the coast from Lochersvej in Hornbæk to the eastern
end of the plantage. There are several areas along Nordre Strandvej (Rte 237) where you
can park your car and start your wanderings. A free map
Vandreture i Statsskovene, Horn-
bæk Plantage
shows all the trails and is available from the tourist office.
