After our arrival in Hirtshals (DK) by ferry, we hiked the Nordsøstien (North Sea Trail) from Hirtshals to Skagen. The Nordsøstien is a very beautiful and well-marked hiking trail that leads along beaches, through forests and wide dune landscapes. Skagen is our last destination on our first trip to the north. After Skagen, we will travel back to Switzerland for the COVID-19 vaccination. In August 2021, we plan to continue our journey in northern europe, so stay tuned for further blog updates in a bit more than a month. Hirtshals Hirtshals is a town with a seaport at the coast of Skagerrak close to the top of the Jutland peninsula in northern Denmark. Fishing plays a major role in the town, as does tourism and the renting of summer houses in the well-known holiday area. There is a beautiful lighthouse next to some old military infrastructure from the second world war. Skagen Skagen is the northernmost place in Denmark and renowned for its amazing light, unique nature and white sandy beaches. It is situated near Grenen, where the Baltic sea meets the North sea. Other very beautiful places to visit around Skagen are the “Råbjerg Mile”, North Jutland's Sahara desert, and the sand-covered church called “Den Tilsandede Kirke”. We enjoyed our last days in Skagen very much and will hopefully come back again one day in the future.
