Skagen Travel Forum

thanks for the replies to my other question.. here's the next: what's the best/cheapest way to get to skagen from copenhagen? skagen isnt on a stop for the eurail (at least not according to what i know) but is there some train that goes there ?
thanks again

Oh, yes. There are trains.
www.dsb.dk

if i remember right, then the last bit from aalborg to skagen is a private railway, that is not included in eural.
you wont have a problem getting to aalborg and from there skagen is pretty close.

In fact, I think you can get as far as Frederikshavn which is really close. When I lived in Gothenburg I took that train route home from Germany sometimes to catch the ferry in Frederikshavn and I never had to change trains.

thats right.
frederikshavn is connected with DSB trains.

From Copenhagen, you can go by train all the way to Skagen. From Copenhagen to Frederikshavn, there are direct DSB intercity trains every other hour (free with Eurailpass), it is recommended to make a seat reservation, at least for peak hour travel (Monday and Sunday afternoon), a seat reservation costs 20 DKK. The last leg from Frederikshavn to Skagen (40 km) is with a private railway, Skagensbanen (Nordjyske Jernbaner). On this last leg, Eurail passholders get a 50% discount, according to www.eurail.com. Check www.rejseplanen.dk for timetable details, I counted 8 connections per day with one train change in Frederikshavn. It's quite a long trip, actually one of the longest possible within Denmark! If you have a Eurailpass or similar, avoid connections using any buses, as they will not be covered by the pass.
