On 3 January 2026, Denmark received a high pressure from Arctic Regions north of Scandinavia with day and night temperatures of minus 5-20 degrees. The following 10 days it snowed with 5-30 cm snow layer with temperatures minus 5-20 degrees all over Denmark.
I live all year round in my 86 m2 summerhouse in Melby North Sealand since 2012. My neighborhood, “Præstelodden”, is dominated by summerhouses with gardens, trees and 20-30 m high hills surrounded by beautiful landscapes of forets, fields and lakes.
On Saturday 10. January 2026 I decided to experience Tibirke Hills as neighbor to Tisvilde Hegn as part of “National Parc Kings North Sealand”. From top of Tibirke Hills “Udsigten”, 57 m above Sea level you have a splendid view to Lake Arresø and Ellemosen with Ramløse River.

Since 1100 A.C. Tibirke Hills has been used by the surrounding farms as grass fields to their animals.
Since 1700 sandstorm from Kattegat Sea covered Tibirke Hills and neighboring farmers with 1-2 meter of sand. The hills were cultivated with hjelme, marehalm and grass.
Neighboring 17 km2 area Tisvilde Hegn were since 1800 cultivated by forest to protect the area against sandstorm.
Tibirke Hills were since 1800 cultivated as a grass-growing area to animals from neighboring farms.

Tibirke Hills are a Nature Protected Area under Danish law “Naturbeskyttelsesloven” and EU-Habitat Natura 2000 nr. 135 (H119) to protect nature and its biodiversity.
In 1957 a Protection Danish Law ordered Tibirke Hills to be an open area with low growth of vegetation so the original landscape can be seen from all directions.
There are 47 summerhouses in Tibirke Hill with strict regulations of form, color and roof of the houses. Each plot of land is minimum 10.000 m2.
I arrive at entrance at Bækkebrovej to Tibirke Hills at midday Saturday 10. January 2026 after visiting Lake Arresø at Ramløse River and at Bækkekrog:
