Retro cottage at National Park Thy

My name is Mads and I have the summer house together with my girlfriend Emma. We live in Copenhagen, where we both work in academia at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Amsterdam respectively. The summer house is therefore a wonderful haven for us, where we can relax and enjoy nature while visiting my parents in Thy, where I'm from and my parents still live.

We have many good traditions at the cottage. We enjoy the summers where we can sit under the open sky with a book on the beautiful natural grounds, but also to visit the place in the winter months where the wood stove keeps the house warm and cozy when it's windy and blustery outside. Our work also allows us to occasionally work from the cottage. We take our lunch break to go to the smokehouse for fish cakes or hot smoked salmon, and in the afternoon break we go for a walk on the water.

Vorupør is really nice with several good places to buy fish and small cozy second-hand shops. It's a great place to surf and there are good opportunities to rent equipment in the town. There are a wealth of beautiful trails and hiking routes in Thy National Park, and we particularly enjoy the walks at Bøgsted Rende just north of Vorupør or at Isbjerget a little further north near Nors. The large natural areas by the beach, dunes and forest allow you to enjoy nature in complete privacy. We also often go to Stenbjerg Landingsplads just south of Vorupør to see the most beautiful sunset here, and Lodbjerg Lighthouse is always a great experience with its fantastic views and cozy café.
