For a long time, the Dutch hat was a guide for sailors and fishermen, because overgrown pines and oaks were clearly visible from a ridge on a sandy plain. Rocks overlooking the sea with steep shores and rocky beaches. From the cliff it is convenient to watch the birds flying over the sea.

The Dutch cap is on the Natural Heritage List.
