ノルドユルスの天然記念物・トップ8

"Are you from the desert?" we were asked in the bar, and yes, Ørkenen means desert. It covers most of the island, and hikers are advised to take a compass. The landscape has existed in this form since the Ice Age.

Here you can have a nice picnic.

A great place with many Vesperbänkle, look for stones and shells, just look and if you're lucky the café is open, which is run by the community members. Clean public toilet, parking available. Swimming is also possible, but take shoes with you.

Until the 17th century, the island was covered with pine forest, which was lost due to deforestation. In its place, a heathland spread: Ørkenen, meaning "desert," extends over most of the island. Its unique feature is that the soil has not been cultivated since time immemorial, thus preserving its original glacial terrain. The area is sparsely vegetated, including heather, black crowberry, common larkspur, and lichens. Anholt boasts the largest contiguous lichen heathland in Europe. The developmental stages from crustose lichen to broadleaf lichen can be clearly observed here, with cup lichen, lungwort, and reindeer lichen being the main representatives. Of the island's 2,237 hectares, 2,067 hectares are protected. Source: Wikipedia Please note that driving and cycling are not permitted on the paths in "Ørkenen." The only way to visit the area is on foot. If you walk all the way to the lighthouse, it's a good idea to bring water, as there is no access to water either along the trail or outside the lighthouse.

Anholt is one of the largest and most important seal habitats in Europe. Seals breed at the northwestern tip of Anholt – Totten. Therefore, there is no public access to this area. A small observation hut has been built near the Anholt lighthouse, from which you can observe the seals. The hut also contains powerful binoculars, allowing for a very good study of the seals.

nice place to stay

A really nice spot at the end of the road coming from Sangstrup. Nice view of the cliffs to the left and right and many tables for a little rest.

Locals like to picnic here and comb the beach for fossils that are easy to find here.
