Vigeland Sculpture Park
The park in Oslo, the capital of Norway, hosts more than 200 granite, bronze and cast iron sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. Including the impressive monolith.

Denmark’s northernmost point, Grenen, where the two seas, the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, violently meet. The scenic nature and light attracted the famous impressionist artist group, the Skagen Painters, to the nearby village in the late 19th century.
