Houstrup- Yellow route Length: 7 km.
Start from the car park at Houstrup Strand
The route is spread over approx. half in each of the two plantations. The course of the route is very hilly, which extends both over the dunes and around lying forest. The area is old seabed, where sand has been deposited, which has shaped the dunes over time. There is an opportunity to meet the king of the forest "the crown game" on the hiking route. These are some very shy animals, but the early risers have a better chance of catching a glimpse of the animals. Blåbjerg plantation started planting in 1878, Nymindegab started planting in the mid-1890s, following the law on mitigating sand drift. Blåbjerg-Nymindegab plantation is approx. 3500ha where half of the area is covered with trees. The main tree species are Scots pine, mountain pine, contora pine and French mountain pine. In several places on the land, grazing has been done with horses to keep the vegetation at a suitable level.
