The Kærgård Klitplantage at Henne Strand is a unique nature area that impresses in every season. Between the tamed dunes you can see the remains of an enormous oak grove that was once widespread throughout western Jutland. We met the local nature and culture mediator Merete Vigen to talk about the silted oak trees and the special story that is linked to the trees fighting the sand.
