Found the sandy lighthouse of Rubjerg Knude.

The lighthouse of Rubjerg Knude was built in 1900. Already in 1968 the lighthouse had to be switched off because his light was not seen on the sea. The stormy wind in Rubjerg Knude piled up a dune of 90 meters high that buried the lighthouse and the outbuildings. Today the lighthouse of Rubjerg Knude is one of the best visited tourist attractions with a fantastic view over the area.

Because the dunes are always moving by the wind it is unable to hide a real cache on this ground. To show this very interesting area to all geocachers we decide to make it as a virtual cache.
For logging this cache go to N57 26.932 E9 46.420 and make a picture of you and your GPSr in front of the lighthouse.

Gespannt was uns erwarten wird, machten sich sünnäli, geo-oli und wir uns auf den Weg. Wir waren überrascht, wie gross die Düne sich präsentiert und wir haben den Ausflug genossen, das war toll! TFTC

Bei bedecktem Wetter und leichtem Lüftchen diesen herrlichen Ort gefunden. Hätte nie gedacht, mal auf einer Wanderdüne in Nordeuropa zu stehen.
Herzlichen Dank für diesen Cache. lucky lars # 85
