Grenen, Headland at Skagen Odde, Denmark
The northernmost point of Denmark extends into the sea as a long sandbar spit, growing approximately eight meters each year in a northeastern direction.
The formation of Grenen started after the last ice age 10,000 years ago through sediment deposits of sand and gravel from Denmark's west coast.
The Skagen Painters gathered in this area during summer months from 1875 until the end of the nineteenth century to capture the natural surroundings.
The Sandormen tractor bus transports visitors from the parking area through the sandy landscape to reach the tip of the headland.
At the tip of Grenen, visitors can stand between two seas, with the Skagerrak waters on one side and the Kattegat on the other.
