Abstract
Lønstrup is a small fishing village and summer resort, situated on the west coast of North Jutland, a few miles west of Hjørring in the district known as Vendsyssel. The country generally is low and treeless, but is noted for its comprehensive schemes of land reclamation, and the scientific development of its agriculture.In the neighbourhood of Lønstrup the monotony of the country is relieved by two low hills, the one, a little inland, is known as Vennebjerg, the other, known as Rubjerg Knude, lies some 2 miles to the south-west and is dissected by the coast-line, the apex of the hill being marked by a lighthouse. These two adjacent hills formed islands in the Yoldia Sea.The coast-line has a uniform north-east, south-west trend, and cliffs occur from Lønstrup to Lokken in the south-west, a distance of between 7 or 8 miles, the cliff-scenery being generally similar to that of the Norfolk coast near Cromer.
