After the hunt for the Easter eggs and bunnies at the cabin, Sarah and I went hiking. We drove all the way to the north, parked, and walked along the beach until the very northern tip of Denmark. It was quite busy, clearly a very touristic place. At the end, the two sides of the Skagen peninsunla merge into one dune that slowly disapears in the sea. This is where the Baltic sea and the North sea merge, or rather, meet. We could see the waves going in different direction on each side. As a geologist, it is very interesting to see how this dynamic affects the topography – but as always, it’s not something that raises a lot of interest in others.
We walked back. There was a sort of small train pulled by a tractor. It actually was quicker to walk, because it waits for the travellers until driving back. On the way back , we saw the bunkers built by Germany during the WWII. Obviously, this was a strategic point, controlling sea traffic across the Skagerrak, the sea area between Norway and northern Denmark.
In the afternoon, we went to see the “buried” church. It’s a nice walk, but not as spooky as we were hoping. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the swimming pool, and… packed everything as it was already time to leave.
