The Buried Church

It's not a joke or an illusion. Save for the tower, St Laurentii (Laurence) Church is buried in sand. The church dates back to 1387, but in 1795 it had to be closed due to drifting sand. Burials were still held there occasionally until 1810, where the sand made that impossible, too. Below there is a sketch of how the church used to look before the sand came. It was whited when it was decided to use it as a landmark for ships at sea.

Grenen

Grenen - The Branch - is the most northern tip of Denmark. If you look closely, you can see the waves coming from two sides. The two oceans, Kattegat and Skagerak, meet here. This part of Denmark grows 10 meters every year.

For the ideal picture, there would be only sand and water. Grenen is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Denmark, though, so there are almost always people around. The people show the most nothern part of Denmark very well, though.

Skagen House

Most houses in Skagen look like this - a very distinct yellow color and a red roof. It's an extremey pretty town.
