Popular Transportation | Other Transportation Tips | All Tips (10) Sandormen - the danish expression for "sandworm" - is a traktor with a wagon and it will take you through the Dunes directely to the place, where the 2 seas meet. You may get out there , have a look around and take another Sandormen back to the large parking at the end of the road.
There are 35 seats in that wagon and it runs on a regular schedule all day, especially in summertime. Better check their web-page, when you get there out of season ! The walking-distance from the parking will be around 35 minutes. Leave a Comment

There is just a small side-train-line, ending in the town of Skagen, so you will not need your own car to reach this special place at the tip of Danmark. From Skagen you still have about 3 km to go to the tip of Danmark, but you may take the local bus that runs on a regular schedule at least during the summer-season. Renting a bike and biking through the Dunes might be another great way to get there ! Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The next ferry-ports are in Hirtshals - about 60km south-west of Skagen. The small coast-road #597 or the train will take you there. Ferries are leaving for Oslo (8:30 h) Kristiansand (4h) Larvik (5:30h) and Moss (7h).
The other port is Frederikshavn - about 40km south of Skagen. The train or the coast-road #40 will take you there. Ferries will need 10 hours to Oslo, 6 hours to Larvik, 7 hours to Moss and 2 hours to Goeteborg. Leave a Comment

Sandormen (the sand snake)
This weird tractor-drawn train transports visitors out to Grenen. The name originates from the wagons' coiling movements through the sand dunes. Sandormen operates from the beginning of April until the end of October. The price of a two way ticket is 15 DKK for adults and 10 DKK for children. It's a rather touristy thing, but still fun!

we visited denmark by train, with inter-rail. trains in denmark are very comfortable. it's also a good idea to travel overnight.
on some trains you have to reserve.
for shorter routes the bike is a very good choice of transportation. denmark is very flat, sometimes also very windy (of course, most of the time it has to be headwind;))
you can rent bikes on every corner.
to enjoy the great nature of denmark you should take the time to explore some places on foot. it's worth it. and very wonderful. there aren't many places where you can walk from the beaches of the north sea to the beaches of the baltic sea!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Train

From the train station there are buses every hour to Grenen (the place you need to go to see the light house and to see the meeting point of two seas). Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If you are not on bike or car, you are most likely coming to Skagen by train which is linked to Frederikshavn and operated by a local private line. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The sandormen is a easy way to go to right at place you can see the two waters meeting each other. Otherwise its just a 15 mins pleasant walk through the bush and by the sea. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The ferry- and shipping company Stena Line operates the route Fredrikshavn - Gothenburg (Sweden). Frederikshavn is located on northern Jutland, approx. 40 km from Skagen. There are 8-10 departures every day and the crossing takes 2-3 hours. During the summer, there are some good deals, but reservations must be done in advance, since this is a very popular route.
On board, there’s a small shop selling candy and cosmetics, but also alcohol. Denmark’s alcohol tax is way lower than the Swedish one, so on the ferry you’ll always be able to find good deals on alcohol, and beer in particular. As a matter of fact, many companies from Gothenburg choose to hold their conferences and meetings on board one of the Stena ferries, for this reason. :-)
