About
Lodbjerg Lighthouse in Thy National Park
In the centre of Denmark's largest wilderness - National Park Thy - lies Lodbjerg Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1883 of granite blocks from Bohus in Sweden and is located on a 13 meter high moraine hill. The lighthouse itself is 35 meters high and a little bit crooked, as during World War II they someone tried to dig a tunnel from the lighthouse to a bunker at the back of the lighthouse. The blink can be seen 35 km away on the North Sea. Until 1932, Lodbjerg Lighthouse was petroleum operated. After this, a number of automatics and light bulbs were installed. The lighthouse was fully automated in 1967. Today, ship traffic has GPS - but Lodbjerg Lighthouse is still lit.
