We awoke to a lovely sunny morning and left the car park early ( so we wouldn't have to pay, after 9am!)  and had breakfast at our next stop - the Church buried in the sand.
This large church was built in the 14thc  and the big sand migration which began in the 16thc and reached inland as far as the church in the 18thc.  Worshippers had to dig their way into the church to attend services.The struggle against the sand continued until 1795 when the king gave permission for the church to be closed.   The body of the church gradually collapsed and disappeared, leaving only the tower.

We then drove on to the Rabjerg Mile.  This sand dune was formed on the west coast of Jutland during the great sand migration of the 16thC.   it consists of a 1000m long and 1000m wide mound , containing approx. 4 million cubic metres of sand. At its highest point it is 40m above sea level. It is still moving ENE towards kattegat at more than 15m per year.

We thought the Dune du Pilat nr Arcachon was the biggest in Europe, but that is actually the highest.     
It was very windy and really hard work climbing up the Rabjerg Mile - at least there are steps up the French one!  
 After visiting the dune we carried on south through Jutland to an ACSI campsite just outside the small city of Viborg.
