Skagen, Denmark - 1 of 2

Skagen is the outermost point, Jutland, where Denmark's land ends and 2 seas meet as well as Denmarks largest fishing port. We did our own strolling around this town since it was mostly a shopping mecca and art haven and not our “cup of tea”. It was very windy (usually is windy, so we heard) and a challenge to go too far but we took a shuttle to town and then walked back to take in all the sites. Many shops and many places to eat local and International (sadly, American) food too. We spent some time in a beautiful art gallery and the oldest church here (unique with model ships hanging from the ceiling).

The area is “known” for the Grenen, the northernmost part of one of the world’s largest splits (formed since the ice age 10,000 years ago (still growing about 25’ per year). The two seas, Kattegat and Skagerrak, meet here and people go to stand with a foot in each sea. We would have gone there but it was much too windy this day for anyone to easily get out there.Read more
