Marsk Camp and Marsk Tower
Marsk Camp offers unique experiences and camper van holidays at the magnificent Wadden Sea National Park. The 25-m-high tower that winds its way up into the sky at Marsktårnet enables you to gaze out in all directions as far as the eye can see.
The 12-hectare site surrounding Sønderjylland’s new landmark consists – in addition to the 25-m-high observation tower – of camper van site Marsk Camp, which can accommodate no less than 125 camper vans. Furthermore, the area has a restaurant, café, ice-cream café, playground and a tournament-approved crazy golf course.

Marsktårnet
Marsktårnet, the 25-metre-high observation tower which in spring 2021 will be the new landmark for the marshes in Sønderjylland, has been designed by world-renowned architects from Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The tower’s unique design takes nature and human DNA as its point of departure. Towering up some 36 metres above sea level, the spiral construction is an attraction that can be seen from many miles away.
With a unique location in Hjemsted, near Skærbæk, “Marsktårnet” will provide “the best seats in the house” in terms of views of the marshes and the Wadden Sea National Park, which can be found on UNESCO’s world heritage list and is known for its unique scenery and spectacular wildlife. In good weather conditions, you’ll be able to see all the way to Esbjerg and the islands of Sild and Rømø from the large observation platform.
Marsktårnet will have disabled access and the top of the tower can be reached by elevator, thus ensuring access to all.

The four buildings comprising Reception, Café, Restaurant and Ice-cream café are part of the original Hjemsted Oldtidspark. The buildings are laid out in a modern style, yet with respect for architecture and origin. The buildings thus ooze rustic atmosphere, whilst the extensive use of natural materials provides a direct connection to the marshland on their doorstep.
At Reception you can buy local specialities and relax in the lounge area. From here there’s access to the restaurant and ice-cream café, as well as direct access to the terraced area at the back of the building, with its herb garden, playground and crazy golf course.
Marskcafe
The café is laid out with a fireplace in the centre and fixed benches lining the walls. From the café you can enjoy the sight of the marshes and Marsktårnet as the area’s new landmark. The bio fireplace in the centre, wooden beams, tables and benches, animal skins that provide warmth and oxidised copper on the bar are all intended to create a warm and rustic atmosphere on a cold and windy autumn day.
Restaurant Marsken
The restaurant is open, both for guests at the camper van site and other interested parties. Configured in a flexible manner, it can cater for both large and small parties at the same time. It’s also possible to hire the restaurant for private parties of up to 66 guests. The restaurant – like the café – also boasts a great view of Marsktårnet and the marsh.
Marsk Is
Marsk Is offers a world of authentic hand-crafted Italian ice cream. The ice cream is produced according to Italian traditions with particular focus on using the best ingredients, thus bringing back memories of childhood holidays. Of course, we also serve an Italian espresso and a wide range of coffee specialities.
