Hiking

The dunes were formed during the last ice ages by the prevailing westerly wind that blew away the bare sand from dried-up stream or river beds during dry periods.

Hiking

Inland dunes are sandy hills formed after the last ice age, by the blowing of sand from rivers. This specific landscape of high, dry inland dunes and low, wet stream valleys is a testament to a distant past and still defines the landscape's structure.
