Rømø, Denmark - natural dune development and recreation

Former stabilised foredunes on the island of Rømø have in recent years been left to develop more naturally as dune stabilisation has stopped. The natural dynamic has been reintroduced, partly by recreational pressure and is considered to provide a "geomorphologically more interesting landscape" (Reimers 2001).
