Day trip to westernmost part of Denmark
« on: November 15, 2023, 18:44:00 »
Some images from a late august day trip to the westernmost part of Denmark - Blåvandshuk - a point (huk) at the west coast of Jutland.   

The reef, Horns Rev, in the waters off the coast is an area known for many strandings and shipwrecks over time - on older nautical charts called Dødens Rev (reef of death). Now it is also known for its very large wind farm.

There are many bunkers from WW2 scattered over the west coast - this one, a radar bunker.

I can see how the beach of Dødens Rev is shoaling.  I like the somewhat surreal landscape with the unique-looking remnant and the lighthouse.

I'd like to echo Thomas' sentiment about number 4...the people provide a balance to the sand banks as well as a sense of scale.
But scary weather headed your way :o

Lovely pictures from Horns Rev. I have been numerous times in northern Jutland (Vendsyssel), but not south to this place. But your contribution tells me that I really should consider to change that. Thanks for the inspiration.
