"An awesome historic place with many Bunker built during WW2 and a nice lighthouse. Unfortunatelly the westernmost point of Danmark is locatet in a military restricted area and can't be visited at all times."
Niels Eichhorn
"A ticket costs 40kr. for adults and kids are free but honestly i think a lot of people doesn't pay because the ticket office is a bit away from the lighthouse and the day we visited there wasn't anyone to check if you had a ticket.
The location and view is really nice."
