A cliff in motion
Almost 20 metres high and never finished: the Holnis-Kliff shows how wind and waves shape a coast.
On the north-west side of the peninsula the coast rises steeply. The Holnis-Kliff is almost 20 metres high and a natural monument.
A legacy of the ice age
The peninsula is a relic of the last ice age, the Weichselian. In the cliff this legacy lies open, layer by layer.
Wind and waves at work
Wind and waves change the cliff constantly. What is an edge today may be beach tomorrow. That is why the cliff looks a little different every time you visit.
Only by the path
The cliff and the beach sections below it are protected and may only be entered by the footpath. From the path above you have a wide view over noor and Förde. Dogs must be kept on a lead in the nature reserve.
