General overview
Our house is half of a twin house with 2 floors (totally separated from the other half). It has a view over the heathland to the North Sea from the living room upstairs. We love to sit up there after an active day at the beach and watch the sun set. We have a private garden, which opens directly to a nature protected area, through which you can reach the ocean in 7 minutes walk. Everything, including the harbor and the historic Gammel Skagen, can be reached by bike in less than 10 minutes. Our vacation home is simple as we like it, but has everything necessary for a wonderful time. There is electric heating and a fireplace for coziness.

Neighbourhood
SKAGEN is "where two oceans and the whole world meet". It is an ocean town at the very north of Denmark. You can stand with one food in the North Sea and the other in the Baltic Sea. Every day you can choose the milder beaches on the baltic side with childrenfriendly beaches or you can choose the wilder side of the Nothern Sea - and both in walking or biking distance. Skagen is an old fishing town and due to its unique light it has attracted many artists. You can visit the historic houses of the artists or the fishermen and get an idea how rough living in Skagen was in earlier times (https://skagenskunstmuseer.dk/en/) and (https://www.kystmuseet.dk/en/visit-our-museums/the-coastal-museum-of-skagen). If you want to play golf, there is a beautiful golf course in only 20 minute distance by car (https://www.hvideklit.dk/). All around you find safe beaches where you can walk for hours and swim.
If you want to shop big time you can take the ferry from Frederikshavn to Göteborg in Sweden for a daytrip.

Getting to my home
You can fly into Ålborg (closest), or Copenhagen, Århus eller Billund and take the train to Skagen. Sometimes we walk from the trainstation "Frederikshavnsvej" in Skagen to our vacation home (15 minutes), and sometimes we take a taxi.

Getting around
Biking - you can get everywhere in and around Skagen by bike.
Eventually, if we exchange simultaneously, we can exchange cars, too.

We are a couple with 4 adult kids. Markus (57) is working as architect and building consultant, Karlina (57) is ceramist and a housewife. We love to be together and give family time high priority. We love cooking (mostly Markus), gardening (mostly Karlina), and traveling. We love to be in nature and by the ocean which we luckily have plenty of here in Denmark. Now we are excited about exchanging house. We travel as a couple or with some of our kids and we will in our inquiries always communicate clearly who will be traveling. Our exchange possibilities also are suited for both couples and families.
Summer 2025 we will revisit Albuquerque, NM, California and Houston, Texas. No other plans yet, so we are open to all inquiries. Also interested in shorter exchanges with homes close to Denmark.
