#skagen

[Bikepacking Denmark, Pt. 12] And then the moment finally arrived: Skagen! I’d imagined a lonely lighthouse, but there were crowds of people there, and I had to fight my way another 1 km along the beach before I actually reached the northernmost point. But then I felt really proud! :-)

In Skagen, I treated myself to a little feast as a reward. But then my mood took a rapid nosedive. I realized that, contrary to my plans (or rather, contrary to what I’d hoped), I couldn’t take the train back from Aalborg the next day because all the bike spaces were fully booked for the upcoming days.

I then set off for Frederikshavn to do some more research at the train station there. There, I found out that local public transportation wasn’t an option either. So, about 675 km back home by bike? My last resort was Flixbus. It wouldn’t take me all the way home, but at least there was a connection to Flensburg one day later. So I spontaneously extended the trip by a day.

Since it was already quite late by then, I decided to find a place to stay right there in Frederikshavn instead of riding any further.
