Fabjergkirkevej
The main settlement line and ancient traces with church and burial mounds
On the Fabjergkirkevej stretch from Fabjerg Kirke east to Saugmansvej, the road follows the Main Residence Line.
Despite the subtle character of the Main Residence Line at this location, it is hardly a coincidence that the ancient road is located as it is. The route avoids both the deeper valleys in the meltwater plain and the more undulating moraine landscape behind the Main Residence Line, and thus offers the easiest way through the area. Along the route there are rows of burial mounds, and both the church and the burial mounds are protected. The ancient road is designated as a cultural heritage site.
The area is an approximately 700 meter wide belt that extends from Fabjerg Church and approximately three kilometers east along Fabjergkirkevej and a further 500 meters east. To the north, the area borders the site Nr. Nissum – Fabjerg and to the south it borders the site Klosterhede-Kronhede . The church and the burial mounds are protected.
The dune sand rests partly on glacial deposits and partly on raised seabed. The glacial deposits can be observed in the cliff profile at the western boundary of the area at Græm Klint , where it is clearly evident that the glacial layers are covered by thick aeolian sand deposits.
The coastal dunes are located on a stretch of coastline that is undergoing erosion, and in several places along the West Coast there are active dunes with exposed sand surfaces.
