Snedsted suits couples and small families wanting a quiet Thy base, with the homes near Stenbjerg's old fishing landing place. Snedsted itself is a small railway town with little going on after dark, so expect to drive to Thisted for restaurants and to the coast for the beach.
Snedsted is a railway town of about 1,100 people in the middle of Thy, 14 km south-west of Thisted on the line from Struer. Its church stands on a small bank at the eastern edge of town, fenced by old boulder dikes, and the swimming hall, with a sauna and café, is open all year. The homes are not in the town, though. They sit together near Stenbjerg, whose landing place has a Snedsted postal address. Thy's west coast has wide beaches and high dunes of lyme grass and sea buckthorn, with heath behind. Evenings are very quiet, and out of season Thisted is the place for a meal out.
Fishing houses from around 1900 where boats were towed ashore, inside Thy National Park, with a rescue-house exhibition and an information centre, open all year.
On the shore of Thisted Bredning, 14 km from Snedsted, with a Gothic church from around 1490 and a local history museum.
A lighthouse built in 1883 about 35 km south-west of Thisted, awkward to reach without a car.
Fly to Aalborg, the nearest airport to Thisted with scheduled flights. The drive from Aalborg Airport to Thisted takes about an hour and a quarter, and Snedsted is 14 km south-west of Thisted. Trains on the Thy line stop in Snedsted, but you need a car to reach the homes and the beaches.
Summer is the season for the beaches and dunes. Thy is shaped by strong westerly winds, which have bent most of its trees towards the east, and it has become a major windsurfing destination. Out of season the Stenbjerg landing place and Snedsted's swimming hall both stay open, but evenings are dark and very quiet.
They are near Stenbjerg, not in Snedsted itself. The Stenbjerg landing place has a Snedsted postal address, so check each listing's map before you book.
Yes. Snedsted station has been on the Thy line between Struer and Thisted since 1882, with direct regional trains both ways. From the station you still need a car or taxi to reach the homes near the coast.
Stenbjerg is an old landing place where coastal fishermen towed their boats ashore. Its fishing houses date from around 1900, a listed rescue house from 1931 shows a lifeboat from 1892, and one house is a national park information centre selling coffee.
For families content with simple days, it works. The homes are sized for four to six, the Snedsted swimming hall has a pool, gym and café, and wide beaches backed by high dunes line Thy's west coast. Little else is laid on, so bring bikes.
