Wonderful Skagen

Photo:Mette Johnsen&Mette Johnsen

At the tip of the European continent, a colony of artists flourished at the end of the 1800s because of the unique quality of the light found in this little fishing village. The town gained an international reputation, and a very special place in the history of art. Art remains an outstanding part of life in Skagen. The same can be said of the golden Skagen houses, gourmet restaurants and hotels, not to mention the rugged scenery, including ‘Grenen’, the point where Skagerak and the Kattegat meet. Truly unique.

Attractions

Explore Skagen and all its exciting, beautiful and unique attractions. Enjoy the stunning scenery, and the unique experience of standing with a foot in each sea at Grenen. Visit Denmark’s biggest migrating dune at Råbjerg Mile, or admire the enigma of the Sanded Church.

Grenen - where 2 oceans meet.

Grenen is the tip of Jutland, where the 2 oceans, Skagerrak and Kattegat meet.

Råbjerg Mile

The Dune of Råbjerg Mile is the largest migrating dune in Denmark. You can’t avoid sand in your shoes after a trip in the “mile”, but in return you will be greeted by a sight you will not find anywhere else in Denmark’s beautiful nature.

Den Tilsandede Kirke - The sand buried church

Sct. Laurentii Church is believed to have been built in the second half of the 14th century and was at that time the largest church in Vendsyssel.
