West of Tisvildeleje – just outside Denmark's fifth biggest forest – is Tisvilde Hegn, a kilometre-long stretch of white sands and child-friendly beach, with clean seawater, sand dunes and woods.

The surrounding countryside is extremely natural, open, clean and scenic. Denmark's most famous holy springs are found in Tisvilde: Helene Kilde (spring) and Helene Grav (tomb).
