Thylejren

Thylejren (Thy Camp) aka "Frøstruplejren" started as an encampment and festival in the summer of 1970. The community behind the festival, Det Ny Samfund (The New Society) – had found an area in Han Herred between Frøstrup and Østerild (near Thy in Denmark) where they could host a festival, inspired by the Isle of Wight festival in England and Woodstock in United States.
When some of the participants stayed during the winter, Thylejren developed into a more permanent settlement with DIY-houses — still upholding the hippie-ideal after more than 40 years. As such, Thylejren is truly an alternative society in the midst of the Danish society - a micro-nation with its own territory.
