The village lies along the Danish national road 40, to the southwest of the town of Skagen.
In the centre, there are a few large migrating dunes interspersed with lush damp hollows.
[6] The dunes began to form in the Bronze Age, developing considerably from the 16th to the 18th century.
Their formation has been reduced by planting marram grass, heather and pine trees but this has given them as darker look.
[6] Among the flora in the area are blue hair grass, polypody, field wormwood, thyme, lady's bedstraw and burnet rose.
