A detour to the museum is definitely worth it.

The museum was built around the old Tirpitz bunker of the Second World War, which is still a sad but historical sign of one of the greatest wars. The bunker, consisting of two huge bunkers, was supposed to be built as part of Hitler's Atlantic Wall, but was never completed because the war ended before the planned completion. Therefore, they stood as sanded monuments in the rough nature of the Danish North Sea coast until it was decided to use them as a museum.
It has long been possible to visit the historical and interesting Tirpitz bunkers, which are unique testimonies to the horrors that World War II brought.
In 2017, however, they were rebuilt by the world-famous Danish architecture firm BIG, the Bjarke Ingels Group, integrating the history of the bunker and the nature around it into the new design. Therefore, the new museum is made of concrete and iron, like the original bunker, and of glass, which consists of heated sand, such as that in the dune landscape around the museum. The museum is built in the dunes and has an underground corridor that connects the museum to the southern bunker, which is also used for exhibitions. Beach rye is planted on the sloping roof, so that the museum blends in perfectly with the surroundings of West Jutland. Since the reconstruction, the museum has been a shining jewel, which is worth visiting in terms of both architecture and content!

As part of the renovation, there are 4 large exhibition rooms, all of which are designed to be exciting and interactive. There are no long, boring posters in the museum, but a headset for every visitor, with which they can explore the museum and choose which exhibits they want to learn more about. There are both permanent exhibitions and changing special exhibitions that tell all stories about the bunker or life on the North Sea coast.

The Tirpitz Bunkerstellung is another memorial of World War II. The old facility has been converted into a Modern Museum, which gives every visitor detailed information about the parts and use of the facility via Bluetooth devices.
It's definitely worth it !!!
