Lyngbos Hede is a large, protected dune and heath landscape north of Henne. There is public access on foot along pre-marked trails, but the area is not for free roaming through dunes and heath.
After the Second World War, collected German ammunition was blown up and destroyed here. Explosive remnants may still lie 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 lies the white dune with light, loose sand and hardy plants such as marram grass and sand couch. Farther inland the dunes change character before turning into brown dune heath with crowberry and heather.
What makes Lyngbos Hede special are the layers in the landscape: beach, dunes, damp hollows, Gøgevej, heath and plantation. In the hollows there is a more species-rich dune nature, and nature management has included slowing down drying out.
From Tuttesbjerg along Strandvejen there is a view towards Henne Strand, the North Sea, Lyngbos Hede and Blåbjerg Plantage. The heath is also a habitat for the adder, which is protected, shy and normally not aggressive.
