Sightseeing
If you are interested in ecology and sustainability, Økosamfundet Dyssekilde is a must. From April to October there are regular tours.
http://www.dyssekilde.dk/
Both the plants and the cultural life sprout in the organic village at Dyssekilde. Visit it and be inspired.
In the village of Dyssekilde between Hundested and Frederiksværk, 120 children and adults live in a small ecological community. In 1990, here was just a potato field. Today, the village is a vibrant community with 120 adults and 60 children aged 0-92 years. They have, among other things, a wind turbine, willow plant for wastewater treatment, geothermal heating plant, kitchen gardens and much more.
The eco-society is populated with men, women and children who try to live a life of community, tolerance and respect, and with a focus on sustainability and ecology. You can visit the village for a tour and get an insight into the green solutions they have applied to, among other things, the common house, wastewater treatment, waste sorting and vegetable cultivation.
A cultural greenhouse
The village is home to many artists and creative souls, and it is a dynamo for the culture of the area. Here are, for example, the organic restaurant Kæft, Torup Bogby, Nordisk Forfattertræf, Himmelstorm Festival just to name a few of the initiatives that have grown out of the organic soil at Dyssekilde.

"Æblestien" hike to the beach
The "apple" hiking path begins at the end of Æblevej, close to the church in Melby (there is free parking at the church). The path leads about 1½ kilometer through spruce plantations, past horse paddocks with cute ponies and beautiful ditch edges that impress with a colorful bloom of poppies and cornflowers in the summer months.
The path ends at a peaceful and child-friendly sandy beach - it is mostly the locals who find their way to the beach, which is located approximately halfway between the popular Liseleje Beach and Hyllingebjerg Beach.
If you live a little further away, you can take the train to Melby Station and find the path from there - take the bikes or go for a walk and get an ideal start to the beach trip.

Great sightseeing view point. Start the path from Tisvildeleje beach, walk along the coast by the cute little beach houses (hidden between the dunes), continue waling on the beach towards the town until you see steps going up. There is a path leading up to a view point and another set of stairs that will take you to Hyrdebakken. From there, there is a path between the houses that will take you right to the heart of the town.

Grønnessegaard estate is once again holding its well-attended Christmas market this year. This year it is actually for the 10th time.
The entire courtyard and the beautiful buildings form the framework of the traditional Christmas market with more than 60 unique Christmas stands.
The estate is nicely decorated so that visitors are really allowed to feel the real Christmas atmosphere. And if you are more into fun than Christmas gift shopping, then there is both a show, concert and much more to have fun with.

It starts with the farm with horses - 5 min walk from our cottage. Continue walking the road and don't stop when you see the 'closed road' signs (it only applies to cars). If you continue, you will get to another farm with sheep, chickens and cows. Continue till you get on the main paved road and turn right (going a full circle back to the cottage). Right after the first house on your right there is a hidden passage - if you go through it, you will get back on our street. Continue straight to go back to the cottage.
