About Tisvildeleje
Tisvildeleje is the coastal half of Tisvilde on Zealand's north coast, about 60 km north of Copenhagen. It began as a fishing village, and most of the old fishermen's houses are now summer homes. The beach is white sand with soft dunes, though boulders and groynes line much of the shore as sea defences. Tisvilde Hegn, a protected forest and the fifth largest in Denmark, borders the village to the west and runs along the coast towards Asserbo. The homes are close together near the village, and the forest starts about ten minutes' walk from the railway terminus.
