Near Aalborg lies one of Denmark's unique historical monuments, Lindholm Høje. Two landmark historical eras meet here and, due to the northern Jutland climate, have been preserved for posterity.
The area was plagued by sand drift, and around the year 1000 the flying sand completely covered the burial site, whereby stone settings and a freshly plowed field were preserved for the enjoyment of archaeologists and visitors to Lindholm Høje.
