Leuchtturm Skagen Frederikshavn

The Skagen Lighthouse ("Skagen Fyr" or "Det Grå Fyr") is definitely worth a visit – not only for its historical significance, but above all for the spectacular view. Those who climb the narrow steps to the top will be rewarded with a sweeping view of the sea, the dune landscape, and the unique geography around Grenen – where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. The lighthouse building itself is well-preserved and lovingly restored. Inside, there's an informative exhibition that focuses not only on the lighthouse, but also on bird migration and nature conservation in the region – ideal for families or anyone who wants to learn more about the area. The atmosphere at the top of the tower is special: the wind, the light, the endless water – you immediately feel why Skagen has fascinated artists and travelers for centuries. If you're lucky, you might spot seals or thousands of migratory birds. A clear five stars for a place that combines nature, history, and views in a unique way. A must-stop when traveling in the region.

It's a very idyllic and photogenic location at the northern tip of Denmark. Parking is available right next to the tower, and the hustle and bustle is kept to a minimum, unlike a few hundred meters further north.

Rating for Skagen Lighthouse: Very nice visit to the Skagen lighthouse! We received a friendly welcome and everything was explained to us nicely - particularly practical because we were traveling with two children. Admission costs around 200 crowns, but you get a lovingly designed small exhibition and of course the climb to the tower. It goes up 208 steps, at the end you climb through a small hatch and are rewarded with a fantastic view - absolutely recommended! Outside the main season, the ramp up was very relaxed, with no waiting time. In the high season there is probably a traffic light system because the stairs are quite narrow - well solved. In the small souvenir shop you can buy nice little things and thus support the preservation of the tower. Overall, a very warm experience – a clear recommendation for a visit!

Beautiful - especially at night. We were even lucky enough to see the Northern Lights.
