Sand Buried Church
In Skagen you'll find the largest migrating sand dune in Europe, 'Råbjerg Mile.' Though in other areas there have been active efforts to reduce the problems of such a moving mass. In this area the moving sand has been allowed to go on. It is a source of study, but also an attraction for tourists. "'Den Tilsandede Kirk," ( the church buried in the sand,) is also a popular sight near Skagen. The tower of this church, which only the top third can be seen, rises from the sand. The rest of the church had collapsed long ago and it is believed that very little of it has survived beneath the sand. Most of the bricks use for the church have been removed an used by the local population to build their own homes. These are two of the most famous natural sights in Danmark and are worth seeing.
