It is truly unique

The 30 m high cliff is a natural pearl on the Limfjord. From here you have a very beautiful view. This cliff is part of a 200 hectare nature reserve, a typical Limfjord landscape with clayey cliffs, beach, meadows, heather hills and burial mounds. The many burial mounds prove that this area once offered good living conditions. You can also swim from the beach, but a lot of seaweed washes up, which smells accordingly. In May the whole area is colored purple due to tens of thousands of flowering pasque flowers. Lovns Bredning, a body of water in the southeastern part of the Limfjord that is about 50 square kilometers in size and up to 9 m deep. It is bordered to the north by the Lovns peninsula, along which a 1 km wide inlet from the Hvalpsund connects it to the Limfjord north of the Lundø peninsula. To the south the shore is bordered by the Fjends peninsula. Here a channel leads towards Virksund and Hjarbæk Fjord. To the east, Lovns Bredning is bordered by a wide shallow water whose sand reefs merge into a raised seabed, especially at the mouth of Lerkenfeld Ås. ETYMOLOGY From the place name Lovns, 1389 Lonnes, from Loghn 'the rest', the original name of the waterway, and næs.

The hilly landscape formed by glaciers, the cliffs and the moler pits (a special type of clay) in the northern part of Fur are of particular interest to geologists. The remaining remains of a former clay pit, called "Bispehue" (bishop's hat), are impressive.

Myrhøj burial mound is accessed by a series of large stones that are believed to have been erected for cult ceremonies. The mound itself was built in the early Bronze Age (1700-1100 BC) for the burial of an important person. Several burials were also made here later. The mound was archaeologically investigated in the 1960s and reconstructed afterwards. https://slks.dk/doil/stederne/myrhoej-gravhoej-og-stenraekker

The 30 m high cliff is a natural jewel on the Limfjord with a great view over Lovns Bredning and forms the central part of a 200 ha area that was declared a protected area in 1969. The cliff top is crowned by two large hills from the Bronze Age: Store and Lille Klinthøj.

The tallest of the red sandstone cliffs here. The color and size alone is impressive. I see a sleeping red dragon lying here on the beach. And what do you see?

The stone row at Myrhøj (Danish Stenrække ved Myrhøj) is located on Løgstørvej by Aars in western Himmerland, near Ertebølle not far from the Limfjord in Denmark. The 70 m long Bronze Age (1800 BC to 500 BC) stone line starting at the edge of the hill is now the only ancient monument at Myrhøj and the longest of the few surviving stone lines in the north. Only 9 of the 29 stones were in situ, the rest were re-erected. The area is known for the first Danish evidence of the Bell Beaker culture from the Stone Age (2500-2000 BC) in the form of a settlement with remains of houses. Among the finds was a slate armguard. A burial mound from the Bronze Age and a cairn from the Iron Age were discovered and preserved southeast of Myrhøj as early as 1952, while the stone circle around the burial mound ended with a bowl stone with 54 little bowls. The same applies to a stone with five bowls and two small stones from the row. Source: Wikipedia

Nice view of the edge of the cliff. Below is the clear Limfjord with sand and seagrass meadows.
