Highlight • Monument

Skagen Grey Lighthouse (Skagen Grå Fyr)

Highlight • Monument

The 46 m high lighthouse "Skagen Grå Fyr" was built in 1858 according to plans by architect N.S. Nebelong. It is the second highest in the country after "Dueodde Fyr" on Bornholm (47 m). The 2 t heavy lens rotates on mercury and a 400 W sodium lamp serves as the light source. The light beam, emitted every 4 seconds, can be seen 20 nautical miles away. The lighthouse and its buildings were converted into a migratory bird center in 2017.

It is the northernmost point of Denmark! There you can stand with one leg in the Skagerrak and with the other in the Kattegat. A great experience to be there!

Skagen Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Skagen, Denmark's northernmost town, is an important and picturesque port town on the northern tip of Jutland. At the end of the 19th century, the unique light of the summer months between two seas fascinated numerous Scandinavian painters who were inspired by French naturalism and realism, and later also by Impressionism.
Even today, the cityscape of Skagen is characterized by small, ocher plastered houses with red tiled roofs with white grouting and also bright white window frames.

A beautiful walk that was rewarded at the end with the pedestrian zone.😃

Many West Wall bunkers can still be seen in good condition on the beach. You can also swim on the beautiful sandy beach. The town is nice for strolling. The silted up church was also …
