Why Denmark Moved a Whole Lighthouse

Denmark has a lot of lighthouses, but this one is special: Rubjerg Knude Fyr was standing so close to the edge of a cliff, that it almost fell into the sea. So the danish authorities decided to push the whole lighthouse back inland. But why did that happen? And how did the construction workers move a 700 ton building? Let's find out. A film by Matthias Schwarzer. -------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to the YouTube user Sharany57 for the historical footage of the lighthouse.
