Fjellerup beach
Fjellerup beach in Denmark is an amazing spot for a summer holiday. With its white sand, clear waters and stunning views of the North Sea, people flock here to swim when temperatures rise.
Fjellerup Vaffelbageri
The most popular spot in town is Fjellerup Vaffelbageri!
Here you will find freshly-made waffles with ice cream in a variety of flavours, all HUGE and enjoyed with traditional Danish toppings such as icing sugar, nuts and jam. Enjoy them outside at one of the many picnic tables or take your ice cream to the beach.
We go here several times a year. It’s the best ice cream in Denmmark.
Fjellerup camping
Fjellerup is home to several camping grounds. Fjellerup Strands Camping has breath-taking views of the North Sea, while Hestehaven camping is surrounded by forest and has a pool.
Enjoy simple pleasures such as fishing, swimming and cooking over an open fire, or visit one of the area’s attractions, like the local art galleries and museums. If you’re lucky, you may even spot some seals off the shore!
