Blåvandshuk

Blåvandshuk is a headland on the North Sea coast of Jutland northwest of Esbjerg, and is the westernmost point of metropolitan Denmark.

A significant portion of Blåvandshuk is marsh land, moor, dunes, and beaches.

Because Blåvandshuk is on the coast and has a peninsula (Skallingen) which stretches to the southeast, it is surrounded by much water.

Prior to January 1, 2007, Blåvandshuk was also the name of a municipality (Danish, kommune) that contained the headland.

In accordance with the Ottawa Convention and Article 5 of the Mine Ban Treaty most of the minefield was cleared in 2006–2008 by the Ministry of Transport and the Danish Coastal Authority, and the last, most difficult section in 2012.
