"Thip Fiskerleje" - this is how the scenic area of Tipperne was referred to in the mid-16th century. Tip means a stand of grass tufts.
The Tipper Peninsula was formed over a period of 2-300 years by a combination of sand drift and marsh formation. To stop the sand drift, the inhabitants of Sdr. Bork built a series of dikes - defences - of staves, seaweed and heather in the early 1800s, and they also planted helmets.
Today, the Tipper Peninsula is divided in two. The northern part of the area, Tipperne, is today a large bird sanctuary owned by the state. The southern part of the area, Værnengene, is privately owned and was first protected in 1974.
The area around Tipperne is rich in birdlife. If you are lucky, you can spot some of the many birds that breed in the area.
Please note that access may be restricted during certain periods for the sake of birdlife.
