The Østerklit farm dates back to 1688, and the Stockmühle (post mill) was built in 1912. A visit to Denmark's last still-functioning post mill, located in Østerklit on the Tversted Dune Plantation, is an absolute must during a holiday in Tversted. The farm burned down in 1981, and an extensive restoration project began in 1993. The Stokmøllen is now open 24/7 all year round. Information materials and an audio guide are available for self-service, and spotlights illuminate the various themes. On special occasions, you can see the mill in operation. https://www.visitnordvestkysten.dk/nordvestkysten/planlaeg-din-tur/stokmoellen-i-tversted-gdk599008

The red passage near Tversted is currently (early June 2026) not passable due to fallen trees. A pity!

The large lake is very pretty, the others (towards the beach) are unfortunately overgrown (July '25).

It's a nice historic mill, fine place to picknick and not far from the beach to take a bath :-)
