Råbjerg Mile, Migrating sand dune in Frederikshavn Municipality, Denmark.
The Råbjerg Mile stretches across 1000 meters on each side and contains 3.5 million cubic meters of sand, rising to a height of 40 meters.
The formation began during the 16th and 17th centuries when sand drifts affected the Danish west coast, causing damage to farmland and forcing residents to relocate.
The natural movement of this sand formation influences local activities, including the annual kite festival that takes place in August on the dune.
Visitors can reach the dune by taking the Frederikshavn-Skagen train to Hulsig station, located 4 kilometers from the site.
The dune moves approximately 15 meters northeast each year, transforming the landscape and creating new geological patterns in its path.
