Join us for a full-day trip to the stunning town of Skagen, where art, history, and nature come together at the meeting point of the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas. As an important destination in Danish art history, Skagen is home to the famous Skagen Painters, and its coastal landscape also holds remnants of the German occupation, including WWII bunkers that reflect a deeper layer of cultural memory.
