Forest Trails
WALKING
From the car park, you can walk along the beach or on a dirt path through the woods,
about 3km south to
Troldeskoven
(Witch Wood), an area of ancient trees that have been
sculpted into haunting shapes by the wind.
Inland from the beach is
Tisvilde Hegn
, a forest of twisted trees and heather-covered
hills that extends southwest for more than 8km. Tisvilde Hegn has numerous trails, includ-
ing one to
Asserbo Slotsruin
, the moat-encircled ruins of a 12th-century manor house and
monastery, near the southern boundary of the forest.
Interestingly, much of this enchanting forest was planted in the 18th century to stabilise
sand drifts engulfing the area. Trail maps are available free from the tourist office.
Sleeping & Eating
Tisvildeleje has a good
bakery
(Hovedgaden 60; 7am-6pm)
, and there's a grocery shop
further up the street. A couple of kiosks, one in town and one at the beach car park, sell
burgers, hot dogs, pizzas and ice cream.
