Iconic striped bathing houses on the beach in Rågeleje

Rågeleje is probably the place in North Zealand where you can drive closest to the sea, and when the wind keeps bathers away, the kite and windsurfers take over.

Rågeleje is surrounded by an unusual natural landscape. On the heather-covered hills of Heatherhill, sheep graze peacefully, and the area offers excellent hiking trails with stunning views over the Kattegat. Do you know Skibsredergrunden (or A.P. Møllergrunden, as the locals call it)? It’s a natural gem worth visiting in any season.

The coastal road runs alongside the beach for a long stretch, making Rågeleje one of the best places in North Zealand to experience the power of wind and weather up close. Park your car and take a walk along the beautiful promenade
