What you will visit:
Bangsbo Fort
A series of defenses were set up by the Germans during World War II to defend the port of Frederikshavn, a port of strategic significance as it guaranteed the safe transport of their supplies of materials from Norway. Bangsbo Fort, now a museum, displays the conditions under which the German soldiers stationed in the bunker lived. Visitors can tour the original quarters, see the huge canons and peruse the variety of wartime artifacts in the museum, which documents not only the bunkers usage during WWII but also the transformation they underwent as the Danish Navy took over and reinforced them to play a part in the Cold War.
Jutland Resistance Museum
Centering on the Danish Resistance Movement in Jutland and the daily lives of the civilian population under occupation, this fascinating museum displays photos, stories and artifacts from that trying time. The museum is contained in the barn of a charming manor house, inaugurated in 2000, after an extensive refurbishment.
What you will see along the way:
Bangsbo Fort is situated on a hill high above the town of Frederikshavn and the Kattegat. Take in the impressive views and, on a clear day, the vistas that include the distant towns of Skagen and Saeby as well as the island of Laeso.
