Lønstrup - A fishing village with 400 inhabitants retaining a traditional atmosphere, where you can enjoy a stroll amongst the colourful houses or visit the many galleries of local artists and potters.  The village is situated in a narrow gorge, surrounded by high overgrown dunes created by drifting sand, that formed high dunes in the 19^th century.  These dunes are now covered in vegetation.

Mårup Church - A small romantic 12^th century church which stands as a dramatic memorial to the ravaging forces of nature.  The breaking down of the coast and drifting sand meant that the church ceased to be a parish church in 1928, and was replaced with the Lønstrup church.  It is now situated close to the edge of the high cliff and looked after by the National Museum.  The anchor by the west gable  comes from the English frigate "The Crescent" which was wrecked off the coast in 1808.  240 sailors lost their lives and are buried in three communal graves in the cemetery where a memorial has been erected.

Rubjerg Old Cemetery - The site of Rubjerg Old Church is part of the  landscape of Rubjerg Knude.  The church was demolished and the materials used in the building of the present Rubjerg Church a couple of kilometres further inland.  The outer perimeter of the old church is marked by grassy banks, and some of the gravestones have been preserved.

Vennebjerg Church - The highest standing church in western Vendsyssel.  The church is a landmark, its tower visible from several miles out to sea.  Near the church is the burial mound Klangshøj (89m).  Standing on it, you can see both coasts on either side of  Vendsyssel in clear weather.
