Take part in a keen boat race and experience for yourself how difficult it is to round the tip of Skagen. The boats are harboured in an outdoor pool and remote-controlled from the edge.

The exhibition is designed around the themes of water, sand, wind and light. In each of the theme rooms the visitor encounters a very special atmosphere created by these four elements.

Skagen Odde Nature Centre was inspired by fascination for Skagen's distinctive natural environment.
The meeting of the seas at Grenen. Råbjerg Mile. The unique quality of light at Skagen. What actually takes place? And why here?
A visit to Skagen Odde Nature Centre provides the answers. The purpose of the Centre is to enable visitors to see, hear and understand more about sand, water, wind and light.
And perhaps open their eyes to natural phenomena they've never really thought about before.

Opening May 19, 2000

An extensive AV show tells the story of how man and nature have lived together - for better and for worse - for thousands of years, and how Skagen Odde has become what it is today. Lighting effects fill the walls of the room, which can accommodate some 70 visitors.

Constructed as a huge saltwater pool, with examples of Skagen's flora and fauna, this theme room tells the story of the two seas which meet at Grenen. The experience is underlined by the sounds of lapping waves and flickering light reflections on the ceiling.

We offer a variety of carefully prepared light dishes designed to appeal to your palate. We also serve coffee, tea and pastries. From the first floor of the café you can enjoy the splendid scenic view.

Here you can roll up your sleeves and experiment with sand, wind and water. And in here you're welcome to play with the light!

Put nature under the microscope. Or ask the guide about anything between heaven and earth. Question Corner is the venue for a host of activities during the day, and explains why, for example, the waves have white tops.

Wind forms landscapes. Being able to predict the strength of the wind has meant the difference between life and death for Skagen's fishermen. Wind is an integral part of Skagen's natural environment. But where does it come from, and where is it when it doesn't blow?

The light at Skagen is often said to have a very special quality. But is there any truth in this, or is just imagination? Incorporated in this pavilion is a dark room where you can see what light actually is. You can also experience the special light phenomena which occur in nature. Why is the sky blue? And the sunset red? The Light Room provides the answers.

Where do migrating sand dunes migrate to? The Sand Room provides answers to many questions. The room is designed as a sand dune which can also be seen in cross-section. A 'Heath Robinson' device sorts the sand according to mineral content. You can sort and 'paint' with the sand yourself using magnets.

Our kiosk contains a selection of quality items, such as magnifying glasses, compasses, binoculars and kites, which provide inspiration for a journey of discovery in nature.
