HistoryIn northern Jutland in the 16th and 17th centuries shifting dunes were a problem for the population: huge dunes, some stretching up to 7 km (4 mi) inland, drove them back from the coastal areas, but in the 19th century the government acted to alleviate the problem.[4] The Sand Drift Act of 1857 allowed the state to buy or expropriate areas of sand drift, and a further Act in 1857 allowed the purchase of areas adjacent to the drifts. Dune grasses and conifers were planted to stabilize the sands and these plantations became common after 1880. Although barren, the dune zone allowed limited sheep farming and some inshore fishing. By the 1950s the dune drifts were under control.[3] An important example of the power of the migrating sand is the Sand-Covered Church.[1] Built in the late 14th century and dedicated to Saint Lawrence of Rome, it was almost entirely enveloped in sand by the 18th century. By 1795, the church was abandoned to the sands.[5] The main building was demolished, leaving the tower standing, still visible above the sands. {{clear}}ConservationWhile the majority of dunes were stabilised by planting, the Råbjerg Mile was left to allow future generations to understand the problem of sand dune drift.[1] The central area of the Mile was purchased by the State in 1900, and after the Conservation of Nature Act in 1917 further surrounding areas were purchased. The dune is drifting out of the government-owned area and discussion over further conservation legislation is taking place.[3] The area is an internationally important staging site for migrating raptors and a breeding site for the Eurasian golden plover (Pluvialis apricaria) and the wood sandpiper (Tringa glareola).[6] Notes{{commonscat}}1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title=Natural Wonders of the World|publisher=Reader's Digest Association, Inc|year=1980|isbn=0-89577-087-3|editor-last=Scheffel|editor-first=Richard L.|location=United States of America|pages=308|quote=|editor-last2=Wernet|editor-first2=Susan J.|via=}} {{coord|57|38|53|N|10|24|22|E|display=title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Rabjerg Mile}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.toppenafdanmark.dk/gb/SkagenAalbaek/Natur/Attraktion100059.aspx|title=Lysets Land|publisher=Toppen af Danmark, Skagen Turistforening|accessdate=25 October 2006|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927143030/http://www.toppenafdanmark.dk/gb/SkagenAalbaek/Natur/Attraktion100059.aspx|archivedate=27 September 2007|df=}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.coastalguide.org/dune/rabjerg.html|title=The mobile dune of Råbjerg Mile, Denmark|work=Coastal Guide on Dune Management|author=Christina Seidenstücker|publisher=European Union for Coastal Conservation|year=2000|accessdate=25 October 2006}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.denmark.dk/portal/page?_pageid=374,520409&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL|title=The Cultural Landscape|publisher=denmark.dk|accessdate=25 October 2006 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20060811223359/http://denmark.dk/portal/page?_pageid=374,520409&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL |archivedate = 11 August 2006}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kirkehistorie.dk/hjor/sogn1198.htm|title=Skagen gamle kirke (den tilsandede)|publisher=Danmarks Kirkehistorie|language=Danish|accessdate=9 September 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/sites/index.html?action=SitHTMDetails.asp&sid=3028&m=0|title= BirdLife IBA Factsheet: Råbjerg Mile and surrounding heathlands|work=BirdLife's online World Bird Database: the site for bird conservation|publisher=BirdLife International|year=2005|accessdate=25 October 2006}} 3 : Skagen|Dunes of Denmark|Natura 2000 in Denmark |
