Skagen, Denmark

Best of Skagen

Grenen, Skagen Museum and the Buried Church Be captivated by colorful wooden houses in the picturesque village of Skagen, and visit Denmark’s northern tip. Head to Grenen to marvel at the meeting place of two seas: the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. Enjoy a thrilling ride across the sand by tractor trolley as you drive to the northern tip of Denmark, and witness nature as the two oceans collide. Continue on to the Skagen Museum, where you will be able to admire the work of the Skagen Painters; thanks to its stunning seascapes and beautiful scenery, Skagen became popular among impressionist artists during the late 19th century. View the museum’s extensive collection of their works and learn more about this famous group. Finally, visit the Buried Church (or Sand-Covered Church). This 14th-century place of worship has been buried beneath the dunes since the late 1700s, and today only the tower of the ancient church is visible. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
