Guided tour of Houvig Fortress

Please note that this bunker tour is conducted with a Danish-speaking guide.

Join Ringkøbing Fjord Museum's guide around Houvig Fortress and experience the history of World War II first-hand. In 1940, German troops invaded Denmark and the country was occupied. The bunkers are a historical monument to this particular time. This is where the German soldiers lived and patrolled. Hear about their time in the bunkers and about the Atlantic Wall that was never finished.

Meeting point: Sortebærdalens parking lot at Houvig Strand approx. 4 km north of Søndervig
Price: Adults 99 kr. Children and young people 3-17 years 49 kr.

It is possible to get into some of the piles, so it is a good idea to bring a flashlight. Also remember to wear practical clothing and footwear, as the piles can be wet.

Haven't had enough when the guided tour is over?
Then visit Ringkøbing Museum, where the exhibition "What the bunker hid" tells about the bunker that suddenly emerged from the dunes after a hurricane in 2008 - virtually untouched. It was abandoned in 1945 and has been reconstructed at Ringkøbing Museum .

You can also visit the exhibition 'Flyers in the Night', which tells the story of 19 Allied planes shot down in Ringkøbing Fjord during the war.
