Skagen

Where oceans come to meet up.
This is the northmost point of Jylland, Denmark. The very northmost projection of land is called Grenen in Danish, and the general area is, just as the nearby town, called Skagen (the area is sometimes also referred to as The Skaw in English).

Location: Shot from the top of the Skagen lighthouse located just north of Skagen city.
Camera: Nikon D50 using a 70-300mm lens (at 70mm when the photo was taken). | Skagen in Denmark

Town in 🇩🇰 Denmark with a population of around 8 thousand people.

Skagen is Denmark’s northernmost town, and perhaps its most picturesque. Perched on the tip of the country’s Jutland peninsula, the town’s whitewashed houses, red tile roofs and rolling sand dunes make for an unforgettable sight. The town is also home to some of the country’s best beaches, as well as a wealth of art galleries and museums. Don’t miss the opportunity to wander the narrow streets and alleyways, or to take a walk out to the lighthouse at Grenen, the point where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet.

What people say about Skagen

Skagen is a pleasant little village, but most of all it sits at the very peak of Denmark where the west and east coasts meet. That in itself creates a special feeling when walking along the oceanside. The soft sand dunes make it a very calm place, perhaps apart from the wind. It feels like the kind of place where you want to stay at an old-school spa hotel, take long walks in the mornings, write a book during the days and enjoy great food with a view during the evenings.
