Between the road and the hiking trail stretches an extensive dune landscape with sand dunes, dunes, grasses, and low scrub. A network of pleasant, sandy single trails runs through it. The rare, protected sea kale grows in abundance on this stretch of beach.

Sea kale (also known as sea kale) is a rare and hardy wild plant that grows along the coasts of Western Europe, especially on sandy or gravelly beaches along the North and Baltic Seas. It belongs to the cruciferous family (like cabbage, mustard, and rapeseed) and is closely related to other types of cabbage, but is considerably less well known.
