The city
Skagen is the town at the northern tip of Dinamarca, with yellow houses with red roofs, a fishing harbour and beaches on both sides of the peninsula. At Grenen the Skagerrak meets the Kattegat. The Museu de Skagen holds the works of the painters who lived there at the end of the 19th century, and nearby are the church buried by sand and the moving dune Råbjerg Mile.

The local experience
The sand spit at the northern extreme of Dinamarca, where the Skagerrak meets the Kattegat and the waves of the two seas cross. The tractor-bus Sandormen takes you to the tip; nearby is the Farol Cinza, from 1858.
The museum of the Painters of Skagen, founded in 1908 in the dining room of Hotel Brøndum, with works by P. S. Krøyer, Michael and Anna Ancher and others. It includes the Ancher house, kept as it was.
The white tower of a 14th-century church rising among the dunes west of Skagen. Moving sand covered the rest of the church, which was closed in 1795. The tower can be climbed in summer.
The largest drifting dune in northern Europe, 16 km from Skagen, about 40 metres high and 2 km² of sand that advances up to 18 metres a year to the northeast, among heather and pines.
