Skagen Lighthouse, Frederikshavn, Region Nordjylland, North Denmark, Denmark, Europe
Skagen is a projection of land and a town, with a population of 8,220, in Region Nordjylland on the northernmost tip of Vendsyssel-Thy, a part of the Jutland peninsula in northern Denmark. Skagen is located in Frederikshavn municipality. Skagen takes its name from the region, which projects into the waters between the North Sea and the straits of Denmark. Skagen is considered the boundary between the Skagerrak (named after Skagen) and the Kattegat. At its very tip is a sandy, shifting headland known as Grenen. Here it's possible to experience the sight of waves clashing together from each side of the tip. Danish national road 40 also passes through Skagen. Skagen stretches out to the northeast surrounded by the following waters: to the east is Ålbæk Bay (Ålbæk Bugt) and beyond that the waters of the Kattegat, the strait that separates Denmark from Sweden, to the west is Tannis Bay (Tannis Bugt) and beyond that the waters of the Skagerrak, the strait that separates Denmark from Norway. The area is picturesque, and distinguished by its low, yellow houses with red tile roofs nestled into the beach areas. The impressive and wild landscape was largely formed by a severe process of desertification that hit the area in the 18th and 19th centuries. Problems with moving dunes and desertification were brought under control in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries by large-scale plantations of grasses, bushes and fir trees. Two significant migratory dunes remain in the area, including the enormous Råbjerg Mile. The area continues to be a popular tourist destination visited by many people each year. A highlight of the year is the celebration of Midsummer Eve or St. John's Evening (Sankt Hans Aften) on the beach with blazing bonfire and song. Skagen is the setting for small but important parts of Jonathan Coe's novels The Rotters Club and The Closed Circle. Always sparsely populated, until recently Skagen has been of interest mainly to mariners. Of the region now known as Skagen, Pliny the Elder says (Book IV.97): Promenturium Cimbrorum excurrens in maria longe paeninsulam efficit quae Tastris appellatur. The promontory of the Cimbri running far out into the seas makes a peninsula, which is called Tastris. The name Tastris is a hapax legomenon, recorded only once in all of history. Its meaning is not known; it may be the name assigned by the pre-Indo-European Mesolithic culture that once dwelled in the region, or by the subsequent agriculturalists. Skagen, on the other hand, seems to follow Pliny's description of a projection running out into the seas (maria). There is a set of obscure words in modern Germanic languages that seem relevant: English skeg, a projection of a ship's keel, shag, a surface with projections, Swedish skägg (pronounced sheg), beard. The root remains as yet unidentified. Once a remote fishing area, it become considerably easier to travel to Skagen after it became connected to the rest of the country via the Skagen railroad in 1890. A paved road followed in the 1940s. The headland at Grenen, the northernmost point of Denmark, is a spectacular setting where two parts of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. Because of their different density we can see a clear line there that show their ridge. An excellent natural phenomenon. A turbulent seas and strandings beachings and shipwrecks are common. The frequent shipping losses and the strategic location as the gateway to the Baltic led to Skagen being the site of one of Denmark's earliest lighthouses, the Vippefyr, constructed in the 17th century. A reconstruction of the lighthouse is located to the north of the town of Skagen. The lighthouse was originally built and funded by the late Medieval Danish state with the proceeds of the sound dues, and was superseded by the white lighthouse or hvidefyr in the 17th century, and then the far taller grey lighthouse or gråfyr of the 1850s. The desertification that hit the area in the 18th and 19th centuries led to the abandonment of the old parish church to the migrating sands the famous Buried Church (Den tilsandende Kirke). The tower of the church remains protruding from the dunes, as it was left as a sea marker when the church was abandoned at the close of the 18th century. In central Skagen there is a teddy bear museum called Skagen Bamsemuseum. The teddy bears on display belong to the private collection of the owner Jonna Thygesen. To the north of the town, the Skagen Odde Nature Centre, open from May to late October, documents the natural elements. The area is closely associated with the Skagen Painters, a community of artists (artist colony), who flocked to this picturesque, and then unspoiled, area in the late 19th century to escape the city and to record artistically a way of life they realized was soon to disappear.

Skagen Denmark - Top of the lighthouse
Dänemark Skagen Leuchtturm Fyr Denmark Lighthouse Skagen Fyr
Der Leuchtturm Skagen Fyr befindet sich an der Nordspitze Jüdlands und Dänemarks.
Die Aufnahmen stammen aus dem Jahr 2005.
The Skagen Fyr lighthouse is located at the northern tip Jüdlands and Denmark.
This video is from 2005.
Skagen Fyr, som også kaldes det grå fyr blev bygget i 1858, og taget i brug 1. november samme år. Fyret, der er 46 m højt, er Danmarks næsthøjeste, kun overgået af Dueodde Fyr på Bornholm som er en meter højere. Skagen Fyr er tegnet af den danske arkitekt N.S. Nebelong.
Fyrets roterende linse vejer lidt mere end to tons, og flyder på kviksølv. Lyskilden er en 400 watts natriumlampe. Lyset fra fyret kan ses i en afstand af 20 sømil som et blink hvert fjerde sekund.
Der er 210 trin til toppen, hvorfra der er en vid udsigt over Grenen og Skagen By. (Wikipedia)

Tilsandede Kirke, Skagen (Denmark) - Travel Guide
Take a tour of Tilsandede Kirke in Skagen, Denmark -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
At first glance, the Tilsandede Kirke, located in Skagen, Denmark, isn't much to look at.
However, the small, white tower that can be seen is only one part of the whole church.
The rest of the church remains buried under the earth, hence the name, which means Sand-Buried Church.
The Tilsandede Kirke closed in 1795 after sandy winds continuously built up dunes around the church.
Locals used the stones from several parts of the church for other buildings in the area.
After much research, the location of the nave and vestry was discovered and marked with stakes for visitors.

Lindesnes Lighthouse
Lindesnes Lighthouse (Norwegian: Lindesnes fyrstasjon) is a coastal lighthouse and museum on the southernmost tip of mainland Norway, the peninsula Neset. It is also the oldest lighthouse station in Norway, first lit in 1655. To avoid confusion with the lighthouse at Skagen in Denmark, it was lit in conjunction with Markøy Lighthouse.
It has gone through several changes since it was built: In 1822, it was refitted with a coal lamp, and in 1854 a new lamp was installed with the current lens. The current cast iron tower was set up in 1915 and fitted with the old Fresnel lens. In 1920 the lighthouse station got its first fog signal, a siren. The fog signal and its machinery is placed in a building beside the tower.
