Skagen, north Denmark

I stayed a couple of days and had a good time in Skagen. The port is full of every kind of ship you can think of, including quite a number under repair. Opposite the ships are trendy shops and art galleries. The museum had a great exhibition featuring the work of AS Kroyer. A bit further north is Grenan where the Baltic and North Sea meet. The coast is dotted with huge bunkers from the Second World War.

Here is a map of my camping places so far. To get more details go to:

Classic Yankee cars are loved in Skagen. Here they parked after a parade through the streets.

Day 28: I reach Skagen, the most northerly point of Denmark

The northern tip of Denmark, Skagen, is where the Baltic and the North Sea meet. Skagen turns out to be a busy port and an artistic centre. I spent an interesting  day and a half  there and was delighted to meet up with Jurgen again.

At the end of the spit you can dip your toes in the Baltic and the North Sea at the same time
