The 150 km long Kattegat Sea coast of North Sealand is shaped by ice, sea and the rise and fallen of the countryside since The Danish Ice Age 10-15. 000 years ago.

 

The coastline various in geological variations: dunes, meadows, fjords and cliffs of various hights.

Gilbjerg Hoved is the highest cliff in North Sealand with its 33 meter above sea level.

The cliffs are situated only 50 meter from Kattegat Sea and is 700 meter in full length.

When the wind blows from northern direction it will hit the northern part of the cliffs and rice up.

 

This uprisen airstreams can be used in the sport: paragliding.
