Sand Fences in the Dunes de la Slack

Highlight • Structure

Picket fences serve as coastal protection. They stabilize the dunes and protect them from erosion. The fence slows the wind, and sand collects around the pickets and settles behind the fence.

June 21, 2023,Dunes de la Slack Runde ab Wimereux

If the weather is cloudy, we are in Wimereux dir. Launched Dune de la Slack. It took more than 2 hours until the sun came out🥴 the route was still great👍👍 part of the route was closed, the path was no longer available. It was a very varied hike, partly very strenuous due to many stretches of sand. Dune stop😉
