Græmt Klint

Græm Klint is a coastal cliff located on the west coast approximately 4 km south of Nissum Fjord .

The site is a coastal cliff, which is exposed to varying degrees along a stretch of coast of approximately 600m. The layers in the cliff consist of glacial and perhaps marine formations, which are overlain by post-glacial aeolian sand.

 

The aeolian sand has most often slid down, covering a large part of the cliff profile, but resistant moraine clay areas protrude and can always be observed.

The coast in this area is undergoing erosion, see West Coast , and large sections of the cliff are regularly exposed in connection with storms and high water levels. After such erosion events, the layers in the cliff can be clearly observed along a large part of the profile.

The geological value of the site lies in the fact that it is the only coastal cliff on the west coast south of the Bovbjerg Profile and thus south of the main settlement line. It is also the only active coastal cliff on Skovbjerg Bakkeø.

 

The area is part of the Natura 2000 habitat area at Husby Klit. The area is a popular excursion destination due to the easy access to the beach from the nearby parking lot.
