2. World War II ended before one of the largest gun emplacements of the Atlantic campaign, which was to have been located at Blåvand, was completed. Therefore, the large concrete bunker remains intact as a sad but historic reminder of the war. The bunker is now used as a museum and it is even possible to get from one of the Tirpitz bunkers to the other via an underground passageway. The ruined bunker has always been a popular museum, but in 2017 the old museum was replaced by a brand new one with four large galleries, each with its own exhibition. The new museum consists of concrete, steel and glass. Concrete is cast on site as the old cannon bunker. Steel in black and gold like amber. The roof is planted with kelp and integrates the museum naturally into the dune landscape.
The Tirpitz Museum offers a wide variety of experiences, including both permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions. Below are some examples of exhibitions that you can experience at Tirpitz:

If you're planning a trip to the fantastic Tirpitz Museum, it's a great idea to combine your visit with a holiday at Hvidbjerg Strand Feriepark.
Tirpitz is only a short drive or bike ride away from our holiday park, so it's an attraction you can easily get to without having to dedicate a whole day to it. However, as the museum is full of interesting information and interactive experiences, you can quickly spend a few hours in there, so it might be nice to just take a leisurely drive back to Hvidbjerg for lunch or just a little rest.
If only a few in the family dream of a trip to the old bunkers, there are plenty of other things for the rest of you to do at the holiday park. Visit the large tropical water park with slides, a dripstone cave and children's pools and spend hours frolicking in the warm water. In the western village you'll find a playground and trampoline centre that's suitable for both big and small children in the family, and if the weather is good, you can sign up for horse rides. Find out how at the stables.
In the summer, you can spend the hot midday hours with a trip to Tirpitz, and when you return, it's just a stone's throw to the beach and the refreshing waves to plunge into and cool off. Hvidbjerg Strand has a jetty that makes it easy for most people to dip their bodies in the beautiful North Sea, and it's also a great place to watch the water dogs from.
