Tornby Klitplantage (dune plantation) (548 hectares) is situated above the west coast, a few kilometers south of Hirtshals. The dune plantation in Tornby was first realized in the years 1910-1930.

Its boundary to the sea follows a 15 - 25 meter high, former coastal slope divided by streams. Below the slope is raised Stone Age seabed with large sea dunes – an exceptionally lovely piece of west coast scenery.

The plantation has a distinctive and vigorous flora.
