Højen

Højen or Gammel Skagen on the west side of Skagen Odde is an old fishing community which now forms part of the town of Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark. It has a permanent population of about 30.

Højen was first settled in the 12th century, and by the 15th century had become a populated fishing hamlet. By the late 19th century, the village was a popular tourist destination. Today, Højen suffers from coastal erosion and drifting sand, though its fishing cottages and beaches continue to attract tourists.
