Tipperne & Værnengene

"Thip Fiskerleje" - this is how the scenic area of Tipperne was referred to in the mid-16th century. Tip means a stand of grass tufts.

The Tipper Peninsula was formed over a period of 2-300 years by a combination of sand drift and marsh formation. To stop the sand drift, the inhabitants of Sdr. Bork built a series of dikes - defences - of staves, seaweed and heather in the early 1800s, and they also planted helmets.

Today, the Tipper Peninsula is divided in two. The northern part of the area, Tipperne, is today a large bird sanctuary owned by the state. The southern part of the area, Værnengene, is privately owned and was first protected in 1974.

The area around Tipperne is rich in birdlife. If you are lucky, you can spot some of the many birds that breed in the area.

Kaj Munks Præstegård

The poems in the garden are wonderful

You'll get a vividly narrated introduction to the museum about Kaj Munk's life, so you're ready for the visit. The poems in the garden are wonderful and the café right in the middle of the museum overlooking the water is unique.

Bork Vikingehavn

We can only recommend it

Really nice Viking village with a cozy café. There are employees present in the houses who are happy to give explanations. To our delight, it is also in German, which is not to be expected in a foreign country. The small shop, which also serves as a ticket office, offers jewelry and everyday items.

Much to play and discover

A beautifully landscaped area, there is a lot to play and discover outside. The exhibits in the main building are interesting and child-friendly. The additional offers are also diverse and carefully planned. The staff was always nice and helpful. We will gladly come back!

Bork Vikingehavn

Very cool Viking village

Very cool Viking village with many attractions. We could do archery, bake bread and more. You also get a lot of information about the Viking Age and the actors are very authentic. You can even find a blacksmith shop here. We can only recommend it, a visit is worth it.

Bork Vikingehavn

Impressive reconstruction

Impressive reconstruction of a Viking village that you can touch. There are fun activities (e.g. archery, leather bag and bracelet making) for children (around 4 to 14 years old). We spent a good 4 to 5 hours exploring everything in peace and doing the activities with the kids. If you are local and interested in Vikings, you should not miss this highlight!
