In Thyborøn we visited a special house called "Sneglehuset" which means "The Snail House." The story goes that a fisherman and his family moved to Thyborøn in the late 1940's, but the wife was not so happy about the move. The fisherman promised his wife that he would give her a house that nobody else had, and that travelers would come from near and far to see. So, he began decorating the house with shells, muscles, and conchs. He started building and decorating the house in 1949, and finished 25 years later.
Then we drove to something called "Kystcentret" which means "The Coast Center." It was this cool interactive exhibit that shows how coasts are shaped due to the wind and water. It was really a lot of fun and really cool to see. There were a lot of activities that actually show how the coasts are shaped and changed due to the elements.
After visiting Sneglehuset, we took a little walk along the beach just behind it. There are German bunkers from WWII all over the beaches of the west coast that you can go in and explore in.

After this we went across the street to "Jyllands Akvariet" which is an aquarium that shows what types of fish are living around Jutland.

After this we grabbed some lunch and headed back to the summerhouse. It was a very fun, eventful day.
