Grenen is the flat-topped northern tip of Jutland, three kilometers north-east of Skagen, where the North Sea and Baltic Sea meet as the Skagerrak and Kattegat flow together. The tip is thus the outermost point of Skagen Odde, the headland of Skagen, which stretches north of Frederikshavn for around 30 kilometers and is one of the largest headlands in the …

Start at the sand-covered church in the coastal protection area south of Skagen. Well-signposted cycle paths through the town centre with picturesque buildings from the last two centuries. On the northern edge of town is Denmark's oldest lighthouse. After another kilometre is the so-called Grey Lighthouse, one of Denmark's highest lighthouses. After another kilometre we are in Grenen: Landsend. A …

This is where the North Sea meets the Baltic Sea. The spectacle of the waves is very interesting to watch. A sand spit …

Perfect excursion – if you're on a cruise ship in Skagen. We rented bikes in town – it's cheaper than at the port 😉... and the service was really nice.

The last stop of today. From Skagen (the northernmost town in Denmark) we went to the headland at Grenen where the North and Baltic Seas "meet". Here you can stand with one foot in the North Sea and the other in the Baltic Sea. Where else is that?! You can imagine that this is a tourist hotspot. Everyone wants to …
