Cape Grenen – where two seas are fighting with each other

The northernmost tip of Denmark, the place where the North Sea meets the Baltic Sea and creates dangerous whirlpools. Around the sandy beaches and bunkers. Welcome to Cape Grenen.

Two seas fighting

The two seas (North and Baltic) meet but do not mix. They are constantly fighting with each other. The waters have different densities here — that’s why they don’t mix. Thanks to that, we get a great show of fighting waves. The line connecting the two seas is like a branch of a tree, hence the name (gren – in Danish it means branch).

That’s the place we decided to visit early in the morning. It’s a popular destination where tourists come to see the waves fight and to stand for a while in this magical area.

It looks like a form of worship. If there were some theory about healing powers, there would be several times more tourists. This is obviously a joke. Well, thankfully nobody came up with it, because the place would lose its charm.

Sandormen

You can go to the cape on foot (barefoot recommended) taking a 2 km long walk or take the beach bus. We walked there on foot and came back by taking the red tractor to make the children happy (additional attraction). Tractors run between the cape and the parking lot every half an hour.

It is worth seeing this place!

In our video, watch from 2:00 to 2:45. Enjoy:
