Skagen - The top of Denmark Virtual Cache

[Dansk]
Skagen - toppen af Danmark

Skagen er en af Danmarks mest populære feriebyer. Det skyldes ikke mindst det helt specielle lys der falder over byen, som fascinerede de berømte Skagensmalere, som for godt 100 år siden flokkes i byen.

Siden har millioner af turister besøgt Skagen, tiltrukket af ikke alene solen – men også naturen, strandene, atmosfæren, de gamle, gule huse, havnene med dens liv og spændende restauranter. Skagen er også kendt for at være den by i Danmark, der har flest solskinstimer. Og med sin unikke natur og de mange hvide sandstrande, er Skagen et meget besøgt feriested for familier.

Stedet hvor de to have mødes

På Grenen, få kilometer nord for Skagen, kan man stå med et ben i hvert sit hav. Her på Jyllands nordligste spids mødes nemlig Kattegat og Skagerak. Her kan man køre med Sandormen ud til spidsen af Grenen, som er en spændende og oplevelsesrig tur, hvor der er information omkring kystlinjens forandring.

Skagens hvide sandstrande

På begge sider af Grenen finder du skønne og børnevenlige badestrande. På den vestlige side er bølgerne lidt større, vandet lidt dybere og strømmen stærkere end på den østlige side. Her kan man solbade, lege i sandet og det er sjovt at bade her, men man skal være forsigtig.
På den østlige side af Grenen er det lavvandet og badestrandene er særdeles børnevenlige, idet bølgerne er mindre. Der er ofte læ på denne side, da vestenvinden er dominerende og der er mange klitter med dejlige solgryder.
Begge strande har Blå Flag, som betyder badestrande af højt kvalitet.

Skagen - the top of Denmark

Skagen is one of Denmark's most popular holiday destinations. One of its many attractions is the very special light that glimmers over the town. It was an inspiration for the famous Skagen painters, who flocked to the town 100 years ago. 

Since then, millions of tourists have visited Skagen, attracted not only by the sunshine, but also by the countryside, the beaches, the atmosphere, the old, yellow houses and the bustle of the harbours with their excellent restaurants and cafés. Skagen is also famous for being the city that has the sunniest hours in Denmark. And with its unique nature and the many white sand beaches, Skagen is a very popular holiday destination.

The places where the two seas meet

At Grenen, a few kilometres north of the town, you can stand with each of your feet in a different sea. It is here, at the northernmost tip of Jutland, that the Kattegat meets the Skagarak. Here you can jump on “Sandormen”, which is a ride that takes you to Grenen. Skagen’s white sand beaches On both sides of Grenen, you will find child-friendly and beautiful beaches. There may be big waves and powerful currents along the beaches of the ”Skagerrak” to the west. You can still sunbath, play in the sand and water but you have to be careful.
The ”Kattegat” beaches to the east are milder and more child-friendly. You will often find shelter on the coast as the wind is not as strong as on the west coast.
Both beaches have the “Blue flag”. “Blue flag” beaches are kept completely free from rubbish, and there are toilets, emergency telephones, first-aid boxes, and life-saving equipment.
