Highlight • Beach

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!

October 25, 2024,Wanderung Grenen & nördlichster Punkt Dänemarks

It was very nice to hike through the dunes and heathland. The path from the northernmost point of Denmark to the wide path just before Grenen is particularly beautiful.
Jennes Sø is great for a break.
The radar dome is also interesting. You can't go there, of course (restricted area), but there is also some information about the history on …

I have wanted to see and experience this place with my own eyes for a long time: Grenen - the northernmost tip and headland of North Jutland in Denmark.

June 5, 2022,Dänemark: Finish in Skagen

As befits a proper Van & Hike tour on the west coast of Denmark, we ended our tour yesterday at Denmark's northernmost point. It was a worthy conclusion. We started our hike in Skagen with an extensive beach hike to the
northernmost point in Denmark, where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. Although it was quite full on …
