North Jutland 's Hansen is the largest migratory dune in northern Northern Jutland 's . Only the croaking of a few frisky natterjack toads disturbs the peace as we sit atop the highest point , 40 meters above solid ground , enjoying a view that stretches from the waters of the Skagerrak , a straight off Denmark 's western coast , to the Kattegat Channel leading to the Baltic in the east . Giant dune has swallowed up buildings including a medieval church and lighthouse accommodation . The area doubled as a desert in These days silent film `` The Secret of the Sphinx
