When you reach the top of this fine lighthouse after 170 steps the excellent view to the sea and the very special landscape makes the 40 DKR ticket very good value for money.

On this peninsula you will find peace. The sand dunes protect you from the stormy sea to the west. And towards the east you will see the skyline of Esbjerg. On Skallingen you will see grazing sheep, many chances for a fine hike or a picnic. A pair of Wellies will help you through the muddy passages. Have fun !
8. Blaavand Zoo

We have been to this zoo 4 times now, and enjoy it every time. Although we are used to bigger and more international places, Blåvand Zoo is more cozy to walk around in with plenty of places to sit and rest too. You can feed some of the animals and if you are lucky, a monkey will jump on your shoulders while walking around:-) Their 3 white lions are soo beautiful, and the big highlight in the zoo. This zoo is for everybody, and we normally stay there for 3 - 4 hours. The prices are very fair, the fast food is good and they have a great gift shop too.

Interesting take on modern art turning a concrete bunker into a horse sculpture. The artist Bill Woodrow did a great service to the town of Blaavand with his modern art on the beach. Nice to visit. Great views from both the beach and the air!
