Day 2 of this 4-day tour through northern Denmark starts at the hotel Hirtshals.

If you didn't see the lighthouse on day 1, you can still do so now.
The Hirtshals Lighthouse at the top of Stenbjerg is the beautiful landmark of the town. The lighthouse was inaugurated in 1863 and was built during the time of King Frederick the VII. The king's monogram adorns the tower just above the entrance door. The Hirtshals lighthouse is 35 meters long and has a focal height of 57 meters. This means that the center of the lamp is 57 meters above sea level. The ground on which the tower is built is 22 meters above sea level. Climb the 144 steps and enjoy the view.

The route follows the northwest coast to the south. At Lønstrup you have a beautiful view over the beach and you can already score a cup of coffee.

At Rubjerg there is again a beautiful lighthouse.
Rubjerg Knude Fyr is a lighthouse near Lønstrup in Jutland. The lighthouse stands on the Lønstrup Klint at a height of 60 meters above sea level. Construction began in 1899. The lighthouse was inaugurated on December 27, 1900 and decommissioned on August 1, 1968. The building and surrounding outbuildings remained in use as a museum until 2002, when it was abandoned due to increasing erosion. The outbuildings were heavily damaged in 2009 by the pressure of the drifting sand.

Driving further south you can drive on the beach from Løkken to Blokhus. This is a unique opportunity that you really shouldn't pass up because it's almost not allowed anywhere. It is up to you whether you want to do this. If not, continue the route by going straight at the roundabout. You will automatically return to the route if you follow Blokhus.
Along the way on the beach you can plan a stop at the local beach kiosk at Grønhøj. At Blokhus you leave the beach again and follow the road towards Bulbjerg.
Along the way you will come across the Lerup Kirke and Naturcenter Fosdalen. The Naturcenter Fosdalen informs you about the slope of Lien, how the Fosdalen originated and the special nature in the area.
At Slettestrand and Torup beach you can drive to the sea and there may be fishing boats on the beach.

Just before Bulbjerg, you can enjoy lunch at Jammerbugt Camping Bistro.

At Bulbjerg, it is well worth getting off or out of the car to admire the beach and the bunker built into the cliff during the Second World War. The view is magnificent both from above and from the beach.
The Bulbjerg is a limestone rock on the Skagerrak, in the north of the Danish peninsula Jutland. The rock protrudes firmly from the shoreline and has a height of 47 meters. It is the only rock formation in Jutland and the only bird cliff on the Danish mainland.
The lower layers of the Bulbjerg are 65 million years old. They mainly consist of lime from bryozoans from the Danian. Fossils (e.g. sea urchins) have collected at the foot of the rock.

Until about the beginning of the Common Era, the rock formed an island in the Littorina Sea, which then covered large parts of the current peninsula of Thy. In that period, the steep rock walls in the north and west arose. After the pressure of the ice sheet eased at the end of the last ice age, the land around Bulbjerg began to slowly rise above sea level (post-glacial uplift); to date, North Jutland is rising an average of 2 mm per year (20 cm in 100 years). Then, by supplying material, the ocean currents caused the islands to form a continuous landmass. In the vicinity of the Bulbjerg, remains from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age have been found.

In the Viking Age the Bulbjerg was of great importance as a landmark, especially for ships heading from the Aggersborg towards the North Sea. In the twelfth century, however, this waterway silted up and the Limfjord was created here.

The Bulbjerg is constantly exposed to erosion. The pounding waves of the sea swallow large chunks of limestone from the rock and then disperse them in pieces on the beach. However, man has also had a share in the destruction in the past. For centuries, chalk blocks were sawn out of the cliff and used as building material or burned into calcium oxide. Former visitors have their names carved into the limestone, including a 19th-century king whose name can still be seen today.

During the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, the Bulbjerg was used as a radar post. A small concrete fortress was built that still exists today. Since 1996, a museum has been set up in one of the many bunkers with information about the Bulbjerg. A beach hotel built in 1907 near the Bulbjerg was blown up by the Germans at the close of World War II.

130 meters from the Bulbjerg, the stump of the former rock "Skarreklit" protrudes from the sea. This rock section was once part of the mainland, but due to its place in the surf, this connection has already been eroded away in prehistoric times. The soft limestone of the rock has also eroded over time, but its flint core allowed the rock to withstand the force of the waves. The freestanding rock peak was 16 meters high, until it collapsed during an autumn storm on the night of September 19, 1978. According to an old legend, the fall of the rock would mark the end of the world.

Today, the base of the rock just below the water's surface can still be seen at low tide and calm seas. "Skarreklit" is probably named after the common cormorant here (Danish: skarv, Jutlandic: skar). Klit means 'dune' in Danish, in Jutland also 'cliff'.

From Bulbjerg, in clear weather, Hanstholm can be seen to the west, as well as the lighthouse of Rubjerg Knude to the northeast.

At Hanstholm you can visit the Hansthol Battery II. The 38 cm battery at Hanstholm, operated by the German Navy, was the largest and best developed of all German coastal batteries in Denmark. With its four 38 cm guns, the "Hanstholm II" battery was intended to cover the approach to the Skagerrak. Together with the "Hanstholm I" 17cm battery, the big guns here were to guard the narrow channel through the extensively mined stretch of sea between Hanstholm and Kristiansand in Norway to keep the British fleet out of Skagerr waters.

The end of the route is now in sight, but first a ferry crossing from Agger to Thyboren over the Limfjord has to be made.
On the other side it is less than a 10 km drive to the hotel in Harboøre. In the village you can also go for a snack and drink.

Don't forget to rinse your motorcycle well after riding on the beach. The salt is disastrous for your engine.
