Drachmanns Grav
As a poet, Holger Drachmann spent several years in Skagen.
His funeral were a national event. A replica of the most typically Danish ancient monument, a Dysse, has been erected on top of the grave, making it the northernmost Dysse in Denmark.
Biography : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holger_Drachmann
Accessible on foot from the car park at the very end of the road # 40.
