Atlanterhavsparken – Life Along the Coast

Along the rocky shoreline out here lies Atlanterhavsparken – and this is no ordinary aquarium. Here you will find one of Northern Europe’s largest saltwater tanks, where large fish such as cod, saithe, and halibut swim in an environment designed to be as close to nature as possible. The water is pumped directly in from the ocean outside, so what you see inside is the same life that exists right beneath your boat right now. And yes – they have daily feeding sessions. Divers actually go down into the tank and feed the fish in front of visitors. It is quite a powerful experience to watch, especially when the largest predatory fish come close. At the same time, this is also an active center for knowledge and research on marine life. But it is perhaps this combination that makes the place special – you can both learn something and truly experience it up close. It is one of those places along the coast that is well worth a visit.
