PATHFINDERS

Trails / Nordjylland

Grenen, Skagen

The northern tip of Denmark, where the Skagerrak and Kattegat meet and you can stand with a foot in each. Walk out along the sand spit; the light is why the painters came.

Worth stopping for

  • Two seas meeting at the tip
  • Skagen Grey Lighthouse and the bird observatory
  • Drachmann's grave in the dunes

Practical

No swimming at the tip — the currents are dangerous. The Sandormen tractor-bus runs in season if you'd rather ride back.
