Tourist
Information
There are tourist offices in both Gilleleje
and Helsinge. One can also have a look
at www.visitdenmark.com or www.danmarksferiebutikken.dk.
Parking: In the centre of Rågeleje,
just opposite restaurant Søstjernen
and next to restaurant Ved Stranden,
there is a large car park. Westward, on Rågelejevej towards Vejby, next to
Heather Hill, there is also a car park. Eastward, on Rågeleje Strandvej
towards Smidstrup, there is another car park.
Lavatories: There are public lavatories
at the main car park (white building) and in the "snail shell" near
the beach on the small access road behind restaurant Søstjernen leading down
to the old breakwater.
The Beaches
There are beaches both east and west of the
stream that divides Rågeleje in two parts. The beach facing east is usually
the better of the two - i.e. most sand. Most years the quality of the sea
water is good at Rågeleje beach. This is indicated by a blue flag put there
by the authorities testing the water.

During school summer holiday and certain
weekends before and after the summer holiday there are life
guards on the beach. One of them is in Rågeleje, not far from where
Hesselbjergvej meets Rågeleje Strandvej. The other one is on the beach near
Strandbjerggård; i.e. not far from Camping Raageleje.

Important information about the beaches, life
guards and how to safely enjoy the sea and beach can be found on the life
guards' own site.
Swimming close to the old breakwater should be
avoided unless one is a confident swimmer since the currents there can be
tricky and the seabed rather uneven.
Sights
& Excursions
The burial mounds (private estate) near
Bakkebjergvej are one of the few real sights in Rågeleje and show that people
have lived in the area for more than a thousand years.
The beach in Rågeleje provides for excellent
walks - regardless of the weather! It is a nice walk westwards via the
beautiful area called Heather Hill.
Walking eastwards one can explore the natural
beauty of the old garden belonging to Rågegården - also known as "Glads
Have" (after Consul General Glad, a wealthy gentleman who owned the
estate many years ago).
One can also go for walks in the woods
"Valby Hegn" and "Tisvilde Hegn" which are only a short
drive away.

History
Information about the history
of Rågeleje.
Visit one of Rågeleje's
oldest houses.
Gilleleje
Museum has a lot of information about Rågeleje and
surrounding areas.
1980's
This period was a bit of slump for Rågeleje.
The lively inn was only a memory and it was becoming dilapidated.
1970's
Aerial views from the mid-70's:

As can be seen the village still had some of the elegant
white asphalt on pavements and the car park, which was very noticeable in the
60's. Please also note that the beach was much wider and sandier compared to
today. The groynes no doubt contributed to this. Regrettably the groynes are
currently in very poor condition and there is no indication that the local
authorities care much.
1950's &
60's
This period was marked by properity and many
farmers converted their land into summer house areas.

Above is a picture from the late 50's (signed "S.
Synnøve, 1960") when the stream was still uncovered.
The pictures below are from a postcard folder from the
1950's. Click on an image for a larger image (opens in a new window).

More information will be posted here soon.

"Høfdehuset" in the background.

present.
Rågeleje Kro
Here are some pictures from the inn's heyday in
the 60's:

Note the two sculptures, one by the flagpole
and one (Badepigen) by the corner of the building with the balconies,
underlining why the nickname "Kunstner Kro" (Artists' Inn) came
about. The inn was in the 60's a favourite place for many artists, some of
whom left behind / donated / paid with works of art.
The aforementioned sculptures disappeared in
the late 70's / early 80's without a trace. It could be interesting to know
where they are now or even just to get some photos of them. Please send an
e-mail to Webmaster if you have any
information about them or have a few photos.
Towards the end of the 70's and the in the beginning of
the 80's there were many interesting plans for the inn and a marina in front
of it. Financing and planning permission proved difficult, though. The inn
burned down one night in the 80's and re-emerged later as the time-share
centre Feriecentret
Rågeleje Klit.e ned i
starten af 80'erne og i dets sted byggedes Feriecentret
Rågeleje Klit.
Rågeleje Løbet
The cycle race came about in 1962 on the
initiative of Rågeleje Kro and Hillerød
Cykelklub. The race was very popular amongst locals and
holidaymakers along the north coast since many clubs were represented and many
well known riders participated.

The race was held every year from 1962 until
1989 when there was no longer sufficient financial backing. The picture shown
above is from approx. 1974.
The route was: Start at Rågeleje Kro -
"Benbrækker-bakken" near Heather Hill - Vejby - Unnerup - Smidstrup
- Udsholt - Rågeleje Strandvej - Finishing-line at Rågeleje Kro.
"Benbrækker-bakken"
("Leg-breaker Hill") was particularly feared by the riders and it
was often here the boys were separated from the men. The seafront opposite Rågeleje
Kro was an ideal spot from which to follow the race listening to the race
commentator who skillfully created a special atmosphere of excitement.
