The largest moving sand dune in Denmark!
Why travel the world looking for a desert when you can find one at the Top of Denmark?
Råbjerg Mile is, with its one thousand meters wide, one thousand meters long and approx. four million m3 of sand, Denmark's largest moving dune. Råbjerg Mile has its highest point forty meters above sea level and is located near Bunken Klitplantage between Skagen and Frederikshavn. Råbjerg Mile was formed more than three hundred years ago, during a large sand drift, in the landscape that is today called Råbjerg Stene.
A moving sand dune
The moving dune, Råbjerg Mile, has been formed over time by the movements of the wind. This means that the mile has moved approx. 1750 meters eastwards since 1900, and today it moves an average of 15 meters annually in an east-northeasterly direction towards Kattegat. It is estimated that in 100-200 years the dune will cover the main road to Skagen.
