Grenen
Here Denmark ends, and the two seas, the Kattegat and the Skagerrak, meet in an eternal dance.
With one leg in each ocean
Roll up your trousers and experience the fascinating sensation of standing with one leg in each ocean, but remember that swimming is not permitted due to currents.
The currents of the water and the forces of the wind mean that Grenen is always moving, and this is why the location is such a fascinating excursion destination, where no two visits are the same.
Historically, the tip has faced north, but a look at the compass rose reveals that the area's constant change means the tip is actually pointing more east than north.
Every year, more than 500,000 ships pass Grenen. It is an incredible spectacle when the large ships fill up in a long line one after another out on the horizon.
Why not book a holiday home in Skagen and watch the ships pass by Grenen every day up close.
World-class nature reserve
The landscape around Grenen is designated as a nature reserve with public access, and there are excellent opportunities for exploration even on busy days.
The large beach area at the very tip of Grenen, beyond the dunes, constantly changes its appearance. For example, shallow lagoon lakes often form, which attract large flocks of waders.
Also follow one of Grenenland's four established walking routes, and learn more about both nature and the history of the place. From the car park at Grenen, four hiking trails of varying lengths depart, one of which is gravelled and suitable for bicycles, wheelchairs, and prams. The trails will take you around all of Grenen's sights.
From the car park, you can take the Sandormen, from Easter until week 43, all the way to the tip of Grenen. The Sandormen has been taking tourists out to Grenen for over 50 years and has become part of the site's history.
Guests who choose to walk themselves will pass the grave of the poet and painter Holger Drachmann in the dunes east of Grenen Kunstmuseum.
Grenensporet - walking experiences at Grenen
The Grenen Spur's four walking routes are an experience for the whole family. Along the way, you'll pass boards with exciting stories about the exact spot you're in right now.
The Branch Trail comprises over twenty kilometres of walking paths in total, of which the shortest, at three kilometres, is gravelled so that wheelchair users and families with prams can also experience the unique nature of Grenen.
The other paths are so-called 'tramper' paths, where you follow existing tracks in the landscape via route markings. The longest red route of 10 km, for example, passes all four lighthouses at Grenen.
At the car park at Grenen, you'll find the Info House, which has a physical exhibition telling the story of experiences at Grenen.
