Udsigt fra Det Grå Fyr ved Grenen

With one leg in each sea

Pull up your pants and try the fascinating experience of standing with one leg in each sea, but remember that swimming, due to strong currents, is not allowed.

The currents and the forces of the wind mean that Grenen is always moving, which is why the place 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 that the tip now points more to the east than to the north.

Every year, more than 500,000 ships pass Grenen. It is an incredible sight when the large ships line up in a long row one after the other on the horizon.

Why not book a holiday home in Skagen and follow how the ships pass Grenen every single day?

Nature reserve of world renouned standard

The landscape around Grenen is laid out as a nature reserve with access for everyone, and there are good opportunities to explore for yourself even on days with many visitors.

The large beach area at the far end of Grenen outside the dunes is constantly changing in appearance. For example, shallow lagoon lakes often appear, which attract large flocks of wading birds.

Also follow one of the Grenensporet's four landscaped hiking routes and learn more about both the nature and the history of the place. Four hiking trails of varying lengths start from the parking lot at Grenen, one of which is gravel and suitable for bicycles, wheelchairs and strollers.

The trails take you around to all of Grenen's attractions. From the parking lot, you can ride the Sandormen all the way to the tip of Grenen from Easter until week 43.

The Sandormen has been taking tourists out to Grenen for over 50 years and has become part of the history of the place. Guests who choose to walk on their own will pass the grave of poet and painter Holger Drachmann in the dunes east of Grenen Art Museum.

Grenensporet - hiking experiences on Grenen

Grenensporet's four hiking routes are an experience for the whole family. Along the way, you will pass boards with exciting stories about the exact place where you are now.

Grenensporet consists of over twenty kilometers of hiking trails, of which the shortest, three kilometers, is made with gravel so that wheelchair users and families with strollers can also experience Grenen's unique nature.

The other trails are so-called tramping trails, where you follow existing tracks in the landscape via route markings. The longest red route of 10 km, for example, passes all four lighthouses on Grenen.

At the parking lot at Grenen, there is an Information post, where a physical exhibition talks about the experiences on Grenen.
