Standing in the same spot as the photo in the preceding toot – on top of a 46-metre-tall 1800s lighthouse in Skagen, Jylland, on a clear day with blue sea and sky. But now we're looking in the other direction. We see the last few kilometres of coastline on the Northern tip of Denmark. We can literally see the physical tip of land in Grenen – Skagen Odde - where two seas literally meet. We can see the North Sea (Skagerrak) coming in from the left to meet the Baltic Sea (Kattegat) coming in from the right. Distinctive sandbanks just out along the coast. The dunes and heathland between the seas are covered in rust-red and brown-green grasses. Gashing through the beautiful nature: the road to Grenen with cars visible on it and a car park where you must leave vehicles to walk the final stretch through the protected landscape before reaching the beach where you can, and you must, and you will, stand with one leg in one sea and one leg in the other.

People have shown a kind interest in this sliver of Danish coastline, so in case anyone would like to turn their head and look in the other direction: here’s the view from the same spot, now looking to our left, facing North. This is Grenen, the literal tip of mainland Denmark, where two seas visibly meet.
