Grenaa

Grenaa (or Grenå) is a Danish town and seaport on the east coast of the Jutlandic peninsula.

Development of tourism and educational institutions is sought to play a larger role for Grenaa in the future.

[3] The 5 km sandy Grenaa Beach is significant for tourism, with a hinterland of summer cottages, including many rentals.

The geographical region, Djursland, where Grenaa is situated on the east coast, has an average population density of 42 inhabitants per square km, as compared to 407 for neighboring England and 230 for Germany.

Something that also applies to the geologically varied often roling-hill country-side and farmland of Djursland, of which a bit more than 10% is forest.

Søren Kanne (1801-1860) was a Grenaa farmer who came to fame in the 1830s heroically rescuing a shipwrecked skipper by the help of his two horses, according to legend. Photo: Jakob Øhlenschlæger
