Lyngbos Hede is a large, protected dune and heathland landscape north of Henne. The area is open to the public on foot via pre-marked trails, but it is not permitted to take unrestricted detours through the dunes and heath.
After the Second World War, collected German ammunition was detonated and destroyed here. Explosive remnants may still be present in the terrain. Do not touch suspicious objects, and stay on Gøgevej and the marked trails.
The landscape has been shaped by the North Sea, the wind and drifting sand. Closest to the sea is the white dune, with light, loose sand and hardy plants such as marram grass and sea lyme grass. Further inland, the dunes change character before becoming brown dune heath with crowberry and heather.
What makes Lyngbos Hede special is the layers in the landscape: beach, dunes, wet hollows, Gøgevej, heath and plantation. The hollows contain more species-rich dune nature, and nature management has included efforts to slow drying out.
From Tuttesbjerg along Strandvejen, there are views towards Henne Strand, the North Sea, Lyngbos Hede and Blåbjerg Plantage. The heath is also home to the adder, which is protected, shy and normally not aggressive.
