Hygum Bakke - Engbjerg Spring

Hygum Bakke – Engbjerg Spring is located immediately north of the village of Klinkby and approx. 6 km northwest of Lemvig. The area forms a distinctive hill section, which rises more than 50 m above the low-lying marine foreland to the north and west. See site Veserne-Plet-Engbjerg . The distinctive hills may have arisen as part of a marginal moraine.

 

Engbjerg Waterworks, which is the largest in Lemvig Municipality, has its source in the area. Hygum Bakke, which is one of the highest hills in the area, is an artificial hill built on top of the waterworks' clean water tank. Most of the waterworks' consumers live on the marine foreland to the west and north, and Hygum Bakke thus constitutes a kind of water tower for the area.

 

From the top of Hygum Bakke there is a unique view of the landscape with marine foreland and the Littorina escarpment. See more under site Veserne-Plet-Engbjerg .
