    North Jutland is surrounded by water as the rest of Denmark, but here you get the unique opportunity to experience two oceans meet. Take the trip up to Grenen and see Kattegat and the North Sea meet. The cosy tractors known as the Sand worms (Danish: Sandormen) takes you out to the tip, so you can try and stand with one food in each ocean. It is a really fun trip, which the entire family can enjoy.
