Husby Dune Plantation
Husby Dune Plantation is a plantation area with sea dunes and parabolic dunes, located on the west coast south of Nissum Fjord.
The area at Husby has been characterized by sand drift in both historical and prehistoric times, and the plantation was built as a protection against the sand drift. As a result of the sand drift, the area is characterized by dune formations – both coastal dunes towards the sea in the west and inland dunes throughout the plantation.
The geological value of the area lies in the varied dune landscapes in the form of both coastal and inland dunes.
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.
