Jammer Bay

Jammer Bay forms a broad curve along the northern coast of Jutland, between Hirtshals and the chalk cliff at Bulbjerg. Offshore shallows and the Jyske Rev reef guard its exposed shores. The bay's name, often rendered as the Bay of Woe, may recall the cries of shipwrecked sailors on this dangerous coast. Inland, drifting sand troubled fields and farms between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, reshaping the land behind the shore.
