The wide, white sandy beach defines Henne Strand; just behind it are dunes, heathland and forest. Whether you stroll along the water, cycle or explore on foot, the different themes give your stay a variety of focuses. When planning, it is worth considering whether you would like to devote most of your time to the beach, a cycling route or trips in the surrounding area.

The beach and practical information

The beach has fine sand and plenty of open space, where you can stroll along the water. It carries the Badepunkt seal. There is also rescue equipment and access to an accessible toilet. Lifeguards are on the beach in summer; their duty dates may change. Information about facilities may also change, so check the latest details about lifeguards and toilet access before your visit.

Compare cycling routes

There are two routes of different lengths to choose from when planning a cycling trip. The “Henne Strand – 15 km” route is about 15 km long, follows asphalt and gravel paths, and starts at a playground and a viewpoint. Local route conditions may change, so check them before setting off. The “Henne Strand – Filsø – Blåbjerg” panoramic cycling route is 20 km long and crosses the Filsø dam. It is therefore about five kilometres longer; the asphalt and gravel on the first route and the dam crossing on the second are further differences between them.

Walking and nature in the surrounding area

There are different nature experiences to choose from on foot. A walk in the footsteps of the painter Lyngbo takes you across the heathland near Henne Strand. Several marked walking trails start in Blåbjerg Plantage in the surrounding area. At Filsø, also nearby, you can watch birds from bird towers and viewpoints; Filsø is home to a rich variety of plant and animal life. The trails in the plantation and birdwatching at Filsø offer different focuses for outings. Henne Golfklub is also nearby. It has an international 18-hole golf course between the sea and the dunes. As operations may change, check the latest information if golf is part of your plans. The beach walks take place directly on the beach; Blåbjerg Plantage and Filsø are destinations in the area around Henne Strand.

Shops, crafts and summer music

Henne Strand has shops and craftspeople. Live music is held in the market square during the summer. Summer is also the season when lifeguards are on the beach; check the current music programme and lifeguard duty dates before your trip, as these may change.

When looking for a hotel in Henne Strand, it helps to first decide what you would like to focus on: beach walks, cycling or trips in the surrounding area.
