Local tip
When in Skagen, make sure to visit Grenen—the very tip of Denmark where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. It’s a unique natural phenomenon where you can literally see the two seas clashing together. For the full experience, hop on the “Sandormen”, a tractor-pulled wagon that takes you across the sandy stretch to the point. It’s a beloved local tradition and a fun way to take in the striking coastal scenery.
