Brusand beach

About

Brusand beach, popular sandy beach sheltered by sand dunes. Access from the north of the beach near the parking. One of the most significant and visible geological changes in the landscape, from the hilly and craggy landscapes of Dalane, to the flat landscape north from Brusand. Nationally, the sand dunes are extraordinary and in sharp contrast to the southern landscape. Lagune and river stream create variation. 

Cultural heritage
Armor blocks formed by large rows of concrete, called the Hitler teeth, is a characteristic sight here. Northwest of the Hitler teeth are also a six meter wide and three meter deep trench that used to be a tanks trench during the war.
