Tisvildeleje

The beach uses large boulders as rock armour and groynes for sea defense in most places.

The name "Tisvilde" is derived from "Ti's vælde", meaning a place dedicated to the God Tyr.

Legend has it that anyone whose illness has not responded successfully to other forms of treatment, must come to the spring on 23 June, Sankt Hans or Midsummer's Eve.

"Draw the amount of water you expect to drink in the course of the night and then direct your steps towards Helene’s grave; stretched out there, drink of the mystic health-giving water, and when the morning light has finally dawned afresh, you will be cured of your ills."

Helene's Tomb is now a rectangular, grazed area surrounded by low stone fences.
