The small fishing village of Skagen is Denmark's northernmost town and is a very popular vacation destination. In the bustling fishing harbor, take time to absorb the charm of the village. The red and white wooden warehouses along the waterfront have been converted into seafood restaurants, and traditional wooden fishing boats bob merrily in the harbor.
A scenic panoramic drive takes you through Skagen en route to the Skagen Odde Naturcenter, beautifully situated in the protected landscape of Grenen, at the tip of Denmark. Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon of Sydney Opera House fame, houses various exhibits. One focuses on wind, sea and sand -- the three elements that formed this region 10,000 years ago, after the last Ice Age. Another illustrates the works of Jørn Utzonand, and the last one exhibits Danish contemporary art.
Reboard your motorcoach and enjoy a scenic drive towards Grenen. Walk up to the viewpoint here and snap a photograph of the tip of Denmark. You may choose to stay in the area below the point and visit the small shop.
At Skagen's Deli Central, taste cheeses from local producers served with wines, mead and schnapps, carefully chosen by your connoisseur hosts. Enjoy some free time to browse among the produce before returning to the ship.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
