Wednesday July 11, 2007 We found ourselves in Denmark today, at the northernmost tip of the Danish peninsula, where two seas (the Skagerrak and the Kattegat) meet. We'd dropped anchor off the lovely little town of Skagen (pronounced 'Skayin'), famous for its squat yellow houses capped with orange tile roofs ... its multiple lighthouses ...…

The soft, white sand of this beautiful, four-kilometer-long stretch of beach lies on Denmark's most northerly point. Standing at the tip of Grenen (a.k.a. "land's end" or "the branch"), you can have your feet in both the Skagerrak and Kattegat Seas. To get here, ride on the Sandormen, a tractor-pulled vehicle that transports adventurers to this turbulent sandbar, or walk from the car park at nearby Grenen Art Museum.
Hirtshals' beautiful lighthouse is situated at Stenbjerg. The history Hirtshals Lighthouse on top of Stenbjerg is a beautiful landmark for Hirtshals. The lighthouse was opened in 1863 and was constructed in King Frederik VII's time. The king's monogram adorns the tower just above the entrance door. The lighthouse is 35 meter high and has a focal height of 57 meters, meaning the lens is 57 meter above sea. The lighthouse is situated on a cliff 22 meters above sea. Take the 144 steps up the tower and enjoy the stunning views over the Skagerrak and Vendsyssel. The light can be seen 25 nautical miles from land At the top the lamp is 1500 watt and the first lens amplifies the light to 100.000 lightLampen i toppen er på 1500 watt, og af den første linse forstærkes lyset til 100.000 lys. Af de yderste linser - det er dem, der roterer, bliver det forstærket til 1 1/4 millioner lys. I klart vejr kan det stærke lys ses helt op til 25 sømil fra land. Six hours to clean the lenses The lenses are hand-cut, and it takes around six hours to polish them. If the bulb burst an extra bulb switches on automatically. The malicious spirit The first keeper had a short career. Just 19 days after the opening he hung himself from the top. The locals blamed "Peter the Horrible", and believed he wanted the lighthouse turned off. According to the locals "Peter the Horrible" was a sort of human bird of prey living on the cliff and living on strandings - to the great great irritation of the area's fishermen.
South Cape The name Lindesnes originates from Old Norse and means "Where the land sinks into the sea." The waters around Norway's southernmost point are also known as the “Cape of Torment.” Here, where two seas meet, currents and winds reign over life and death. Follow the Lighthouse Keeper's Daily Weather Observation Kystreise.no films the weather. Lindesnes Lighthouse Lindesnes Lighthouse is Norway's oldest lighthouse station and the country's southernmost cape. On February 27, 1656, Norway's first beacon was lit at Lindesnes. It consisted of 30 tallow candles burning at the top of a three-story tower. This was an inefficient solution, and constant complaints from sailors led to the lighthouse being extinguished after only a few months. Lighthouse operations resumed in 1725. Since the Middle Ages, the sea route between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea countries has been one of the most important trade routes in Northern Europe. Along with Skagen's Odde at the northern tip of Denmark, Lindesnes was the most significant landmark for navigation into and out of the Skagerrak. The Cast Iron Tower The cast iron tower at Lindesnes, at 16.1 meters tall, is not particularly high, but its light can be seen 20 nautical miles (37 km) in clear weather. The lens apparatus is among the largest in existence—a so-called 1st order lens of French manufacture. Under extreme conditions, the sea can break over both the engine house and the tower. Protected Cultural Heritage Lindesnes Lighthouse is a protected cultural heritage site. The protection includes all buildings, facilities, and outdoor areas within the grounds. Today, the station appears mostly as it did after modernization in the early 1900s when three resident families lived at the lighthouse. War Memories The lighthouse area also contains many traces of German installations from World War II, including building foundations, trenches, cannon placements, and blasted rooms in the rock. Parts of these installations are now open to the public and are used for exhibitions. The site is always open, and the lighthouse and exhibitions are accessible during the museum's opening hours. The exhibitions showcase both the history of Lindesnes Lighthouse and the coastal culture and maritime infrastructure. Today, the Lindesnes Lighthouse Museum is an attraction visited by more than 100,000 guests from around the world each year. The visitor center in the Fjellhallen includes exhibitions, a cinema, a museum shop, and a café serving simple, tasty, local, and homemade food. Welcome to a visit—we recommend planning plenty of time for your trip.
