About

Bøgsted Rende

The first trees in the area were planted in the late 1800s and alternate between mountain pine, oak scrub, Norway spruce and Austrian pine, which have a grip on the good clay soil deep under the sand. The sea mark - the beacon Follow the path up to the hill, the high sea mark, which rises high above the vegetation. The red-painted beacon, built of strong iron girders and timber, has an hourglass-shaped top. It was built in 1884-85 and served as a landmark for the seafarers. The beacons along Jutland's west coast were designed with individual shapes so that they could be identified in relation to the nautical chart where the beacons were drawn. From there you could determine your position - of course, show only in daylight. New technology has made the beacons superfluous, but they are protected and stand as large sculptures in the dune landscape.
