Access is free, and there is an on-site café. Be sure to visit the associated park. Every Thursday in July (10:00-14:00) public events are held, where a large group of volunteers dress up in historical clothes and hosts a variety of arrangements: folk music, farmer's market, former times everyday life, or veteran car show, to name some of the 2026 happenings.

It is also on private hands, but free to visit from dusk til dawn, if you refrain from smoking and don't leave any trash.
Unique and well-preserved ancient passage grave from the Stone Age, built by the Funnelbeaker Culture more than 5000 years ago. It is possible to enter the three empty chambers on occassion. Many other ancient barrows in the area, but Hvisselhøj is the most interesting one. If you go south, past the farm at the road bend, you will find a public trail to the tiny nature site of Alsbjerg Hills. There is a great view across the landscape from the hill top there, itself an ancient barrow.
Hike the undulating landscape in the Fosdalen forest and the Lien coastal hills. The well-marked trails are relatively short, but the terrain can be exhausting. The longest trail is 11 km, but you can cut it short in several spots, and also extend it. The hiking trails here are highly rated and include highlights such as holy springs, wild woodland, heaths, ancient barrows, and the highest hill of the entire region (Bavnehøj). There are two public toilets and options for camping overnight.
Wildlife protection and important bird site. The gull, tern, and duck colonies are large here, but the lake area is also an important breeding and feeding ground for wading birds, meadow birds, and several birds of prey. Look out for grey heron, pied avocet, great ringed plover, or spoonbill for example, and if you are in luck, you might spot various species of hawks, falcons, and eagles. Start your tour at the hill of Bjerget (aka Gjøl Bjerg) and cross the long dike (Gjøl Dæmning) to the reach the birdwatching tower on the western brink, then backtrack. It takes a small hour to cross the dike on foot. The hill provides a magnificent landscape vista and there are public toilets, a parking lot, fresh water, and a shelter there, while the tower provides excellent views of the wading birds in particular. Combine the hike with a visit to nearby Oxholm forest if you want more hiking. Administratively, the Ulvedybet protection is divided between the Han Herred and the Vendsyssel region. You can buy local honey at Gjøl Bigård near Bjerget, eat lunch at Gjøl Kro, and sleep at Bikers Barn.
