Tips

Beneath the dune sands, a layer of peat is marked by ancient tree trunks protruding from its surface. This layer and the tress burried within are approximatly 7000 years old.

Directly beneath the peat lies stony clay, a deposit left behind by an ice sheet during the last glacial period, which ended roughly 15,000 years ago.

The peat and its accompanying tree remnants provide a snapshot of the past ecosystem. Once part of a poorly drained lowland, the peat originated from vegetation that flourished here. The tree trunks, representing species like oak, alder, and hazel, stand as a reminder of a forested past.
