Legend has it: During the raging storms at sea, boats at sea moved to the bay of Jammerbugten. Citizens along the coast, led by bishop Stygge Krumpen from the ministry Børglum, sent their horses to the beaches. Below the horses' bellies, lanterns were attached. As the men at the boats saw the light, they were tricked into believing that other ships had found safety in the bay. However, when they moved closer to shore, the boats ran ground, hence giving the locals the opportunity to rob them. This caused a lot of misery, which gave The Bay Denmark its Danish name. Today the misery has left The Bay Denmark, which is now a vibrant coastal resort with many lovely bathing beaches.
"Ha inte så bråttom Dröj ett tag Vänta" "Why such a hurry? Abide for a while Wait"
"This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls." —John Muir, John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir
