  • even if you are not such a big lighthouse fan like i am, believe me, it's worth to make a tour to the lighthouses of skagen.
    skagen has three lighthouses. the one on the front page of my denmark-page, the grey one, is the one which still is in commission. it's located on the beach of the baltic sea, outside skagen towards grenen. you should not miss it to go up there. it's wonderful, the view is great.
    an other, an old lighthouse is the white one. standing outside skagen, towards grenen.
    and the oldest of them, and the first light'house' in skagen is the 'vippefyret'. a bucket was filled with hot coals and turned around by man or animal.

    Things To Do: the town of skagen

  • skagen is a nice, not too big town. very special are the houses which make it so friendly. the houses are yellow with red tiled roofs and white laces.
    also the port is very beautiful. there are nice, small shops, street-cafés and many art-museums with the famous paintings of the skagen artists. you can also visit the house where michael and anna ancher lived.
    and don't miss to visit gamle skagen (old skagen) which is situated outside skagen in direction to the north sea.

  • the rabjerg mile is a shifting dune. each year it makes about 5 meters from the north sea to the the baltic sea.
    you can climb the dune (two steps forward and one back;)) and the view you have is just wonderful. you can see the skagerak on the one and the kattegat on the other side.

    Directions: rabjerg mile is some kilometers south-west of skagen. (no guarantee;). from skagen it's a beautiful bike-tour getting there.

  • 'den tilsandede kirke' the church, buried in the sand so that only it's tower rises from the sand.
    the church was overrolled by a migration dune in the past.

     Råbjerg Mile is NOT heading for the Baltic Sea! It's heading for Kattegat. But your page is nice.
