Erosion at work
Besides the magnificent view, these coordinates has another
speciality: Situated at the rim some 23m above sea level you can
easily reach the position, -it's a simple walk on the road. However
in a few years, this may not be the case unless you have wings!!
:-)
The little town, 'Nørre Lyngby' is heavily affected by the sea's
erosion. Due to numerous storms and the never ending surf, roads
which are still on some official maps (and Garmins R&R-CD's)
has now been washed away.
As has some nearby houses and an old discontinued graveyard!
Further north, near the little town "Lønstrup" you can visit the
abandoned church, "Maarup Kirke" which is sitting just some
30meters from the edge, awaiting its inevitable faith.
Erosion at work.
Foruden den pragtfulde udsigt, har disse koordinater også en anden
egenskab: I omkring 23 meters højde kan du via vejen let nå til
stedet, men om nogle år er det ikke sikkert det kan lade sig gøre
med mindre du har vinger!! :-)
Den lille by 'Nørre Lyngby' er i høj grad påvirket af havets
erosion. Adskillige storme og den altid arbejdende brænding, har
medført at veje som man idag stadigt kan finde på nogle kort (og
også Garmins R&R CD'er), er skyllet væk.Det samme gælder nogle
huse i området og sågar en nedlagt kirkegård!
Længere nordpå, tæt på Lønstrup, er det muligt at besøge den
forladte 'Maarup Kirke', der kun 20-30 meter fra kanten, afventer
sin uungåelige skæbne.

You can se the position just below the large 'a' in "Kortal" written across the picture. Notice the 'missing road'! The graveyard is seen at the lower left.
