    The Palm Beach

    The Palm Beach in Frederikshavn started as a 'crazy idea' by 2 enterprising employees at Frederikshavn Municipality. The town needed a tourist highlight and what could be better than a true Caribbean adventure? The idea came to fruition in 2004 when the first palm trees appeared on the beach in Frederikshavn.

    Ever since, new palm trees and other interesting features have been added every year on the beach, which is known throughout Denmark and Scandinavia.

    Pikkerbakken

    Pikkerbakken is part of a 3-km long coastal cliff shaped by the Ice Age. The impressive cliffs are the result of the Denmark’s largest geographical land rise. Pikkerbakken itself rises 71 meters above sea level. From here there is an amazing panoramic view of Frederikshavn and the islands of Hirsholmene in Kattegat.
