Tisvildeleje Beach

For centuries, when the Tisvilde beach was mostly used by fishermen, an annual market took place in Tisvilde town.

Pilgrims flocked to Helenekilde to drink from the healing spring water. The original market tradition ended in the 1920s when Tisvilde had become a popular destination for seaside holidays.

The first tourists who started travelling to the countryside in the summer quickly fell in love with the charm of Tisvilde, which is located near coastal woodlands and not far from Copenhagen. The train connection all the way from Hillerød and the opening of the railway stretch in 1897 to Helsinge increased the interest in Tisvilde.
