Råbjerg Mile
Denmark's largest expanse of drifting sand dunes,
Råbjerg Mile
is an amazing natural
phenomenon. These undulating, 40m-high hills are fun to explore and almost big enough
to lose yourself in. The dunes were formed on the west coast during the great sand drift of
the 16th century and have purposefully been left in a migratory state (moving towards the
forest at a rate of 15m per year). The dunes leave a low, moist layer of sand behind,
stretching westwards to Skagerrak.
Råbjerg Mile is 16km southwest of Skagen, signposted off Rte 40 on the road to
Kandestederne. It's about 4km from Hulsig station, on the Frederikshavn-Skagen train
line.
