Sightseeing

Great beach -- just continue down the road on Ellinge Skovvej -- there's a wetlands area with cattle and once it is crossed, you have a great view of the ocean! Closer and more roomy as compared to Gudmindrup (600 meter up north from here).

Great view over the bay area and towards the islands, Nekselø and Sejerø. Good for picnic! Consider a visit to nearby Dragsholm Slot or Den Blå Ged

Shopping

Farm where you can take your kids to dig for potatoes or pick seasonal fruit and vegetables. Chances are they'll love it and you'll get super quality for the price. Bring a bowl to put on the weighing scale before you run onto the fields

Food Scene

Family-owned cafe with home-made dessert for take-away or in-house consumption, and they make espresso the old-fashioned and true way. Our favorite in Rørvig

On sunny day, you can enjoy a beer and watch life at the harbor while your kids are at the nearby and small playground or have gone for crab fishing. Food is good but a bit pricey (they have adopted McDonald's service concept). Always lively and you're certain to spot expensive cars in the parking area

A relatively inexpensive way of trying the kind of Nordic approach that made Noma so famous! This restaurant opens on Thursday and the rest of the week and is specialized in new Nordic food, their chef is a specialist in finding and using nature's hidden treasures in his kitchen. Prices are fair (lowest on Thursdays, kids at half price), make sure to book a table, preferably a week or more in advance, on +45 5048 4564.

Vineyard that offered a tasting of four wines when we visited their shop (we liked Styver, Fenning and Sterling best, the latter is served at Michelin-starred restaurants). Make sure to check their open hours on google, and perhaps combine with a picnic to Vejrhøj

Entertainment & Activities

Good for crab fishing -- immensely popular with kids and for free. You may want to watch from a cafe nearby. Consider a visit to the fish store and remember to let out the crabs at the end so that other kids can have fun catching them

Theme park and my daughters, aged 3 and 8, loved the children's roller coaster and, especially, the water section, called Blue Lagoon (bring swim suit and a 10-kroner coin for a valuables box in the men's/women's). Our favorite is the Wild River and Mega Wild River -- and the Kamikaze is for the bravest only. The park features lots of activities, including a boat ride in the Amazonas and go-carts (my 11-year-old nephew's favorite). We brought our own drinks and food for the barbecue (also free of charge) and rented a cart for transporting stuff. Entrance is app kr. 250 per person
