Hurup Thy is a small railway town in south Thy, for families and groups who want a roomy home with a fireplace in Thy. It is a working town rather than a resort, and Aalborg Airport is well over an hour and a half away.
Hurup is a town of about 2,600 people that grew up around the Struer to Thisted railway, opened in 1882, and served as the administrative centre of Sydthy municipality from 1970 to 2006. It is the second-largest town in Thy, the district north of the Limfjord that faces the North Sea, where the west coast has wide beaches and high dunes backed by heath. Its biggest employers make windows and mattresses, so expect a practical country town. Vestervig, 7 km west, was once the larger village. The homes sit in a tight cluster in the countryside about 8 km south of the town, not in Hurup itself. Most have a fireplace, a few have a sauna, and several sleep large groups.
Once the larger village, 7 km west of Hurup, with the former cathedral of Saint Theodgarus, Scandinavia's largest village church.
Opened in 2008 in Thy, the district whose west coast has wide beaches and high dunes with heath behind.
The district's main town, at the northern end of the Thy Line railway that stops in Hurup.
Aalborg Airport is around 1 hour 40 minutes away by car. Hurup has a station on the Thy Line between Struer and Thisted, which helps if you come by rail, but a car is the practical choice, as the homes lie outside the town.
Yes. Hurup Thy station is on the Thy Line from Struer to Thisted, run by GoCollective. The town owes its existence to that railway, which opened in 1882.
Allow around 1 hour 40 minutes by car for roughly 120 km. Hurup also has its own station on the Thy Line, so the final leg can be made by train from Struer or Thisted.
For the church alone, yes. Vestervig, 7 km west, has the former cathedral and monastery of Saint Theodgarus, which is the largest village church in Scandinavia.
Most of them do, and a few have a sauna, which helps on cool evenings. A handful sleep large groups, though pools are rare.
