At Grenen, the northernmost tip of Denmark, the Skagerrak and the Kattegat seas meet, and you can stand with a foot in each, watching the waves clash. The town of Skagen, with yellow houses, has a famous light that drew painters in the 19th century; see their work at the Skagens Museum.


Nearby, the Råbjerg Mile is a huge moving sand dune, and the Sand-Covered Church is a church tower poking out of the dunes. A tractor-pulled bus (the Sandormen) runs to the tip.
