Thy National Park is a protected area in Thy, Northwest Jutland, Denmark, opened to the public on 22 August 2008. It runs along the coast from Hanstholm in the north to the Agger Tange spit in the south, with its visitor centre about 25 km west of Thisted in a straight line. The park stretches 55 km north to south and 5 to 12 km east to west, covering 244 square kilometres. The dune and heath landscape of Thy was chosen in 2007 as the first national park in Denmark proper, and four more have been created since. Its landscape is made of windswept coasts, dune systems, lakes and wetlands. Tall grass-covered dunes, heather moors, wind-twisted pine woods and calm shallow lakes stretch across the park, with the stone tower of Lodbjerg lighthouse standing among the trees. On the west coast a long sandy beach takes the North Sea waves. Visitors walk and cycle long paths between dunes and woods, stop at Lodbjerg lighthouse and watch birds at the lakes. The area is wide and thinly populated, the coast is windy, and summer is the best time to visit.
