All shipping heading for the westcoast of Sweden or the Baltic Sea with the Baltic countries,Poland,Finland and Russia (not to forget the whole Swedish eastcoast) has to round the eralSkagen peninsula. Subsequently traffic here is intense and the Skagen reef reaching out several nautical miles offshore has a very bad reputation since long time back in history.
That was also the reason for building one of Europes first lighthouses already in the 16th century. Still many ships have been lost on this reef but a calm day you can walk out on the reef and watch the current and overfalls from two seas meeting each other (Skagerack and Kattegatt).
