Hirtshals – the gateway between the North Atlantic and Europe

The town of Hirtshals has its own windy charm. The town emerged around the port during the years shortly after 1900. Through the course of many years, the town was mostly known for its fisheries and related industries. The port was the center of nearly all activities in the local community. 

The location of the town in a windy headland by the Skagerrak Sea has contributed to giving the town a rather rough look. Fishermen and their families were often not very rich, and consequently their houses were small and modest. Gardens were almost impossible to grow because of wind, salt and sand, and even today you are able to see a few windblown bushes in the older parts of town, near the port.

Even today, the port has a huge importance, now not only as a fishing port, but also as a ferry and cargo port with important ferry routes to Norway, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. About 2 million people pass through Hirtshals every year. The large number of guests also results in Hirtshals being relatively well equipped with shops and restaurants in relation to its size.
