Air Control Wing Radar Station

Highlight • Monument

This radar system is a so-called "MPR" a medium power radar. There are two of these plants in Denmark. In Germany they are being converted to ARED because the MPR is too expensive and prone to failure.

Skagen Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Not only the lighthouse is worth seeing, but also the area north of it, where the Kattegat and Skagerrak meet. WW2 bunkers and nature. However, it's only sensible to cycle as far as the lighthouse.

The White Lighthouse (Det Hvide Fyr), Skagen

Highlight • Monument

It was designed by Philip de Lange and was the first lighthouse in Denmark to be built from brick. The octagonal tower, initially made of raw red brick, was whitewashed in the early 19th century. With a height of 21 m (69 ft), it lies at the intersection of Fyrvej and Batterivej. The lighthouse was originally coal-fired, with the coal being transported upwards through an internal shaft. In 1835, rapeseed oil replaced coal and the lighthouse received a parabolic reflector. In 1858 the White Lighthouse was replaced by the Gray Lighthouse

Skagen Vippefyr (Skagen Tipping Lighthouse)

Highlight • Monument

Skagen Vippefyr (German rocking fire) was a beacon in Skagen on the Danish island of Vendsyssel-Thy.
The original “Vippefyr”, the first of its kind in Denmark, was built in 1627. In the same place today there is a true-to-original copy built by Carl Locher in 1913 for the 500th anniversary of Skagen and restored in 1958 (Wiki).
