The Wadden Sea is Denmark’s largest national park and one of only three Danish nature reserves on the UNESCO World Heritage List. No matter where you are along the 80 km of the Danish section of the Wadden Sea, you will encounter a magnificent, magical landscape that by its very existence helps us understand our dependence on nature. The Wadden Sea and its marshes form one of the world’s largest tidal areas, of vital importance for breeding birds, fish, marine mammals and plant life. One becomes immersed in the fascinating views of nature constantly changing, as the sea alternates with mudflats teeming with life. The Wadden Sea National Park was inaugurated in 2010. In 2014, the Danish part of the Wadden Sea was placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List; so now, the Danish, German and Dutch areas of the Wadden Sea constitute one joint World Heritage Site.

The Wadden Sea offers many delicacies, and both flora and fauna can be harvested with a bit of effort, glasswort, seagrass, shrimp, mussels and perhaps the most prestigious of them all - oysters. The large Pacific oysters that live in the Wadden Sea are found everywhere, but you have to know exactly where they are, be aware of the tides and be able to know good oysters from bad ones. We recommend taking one of the many guided tours organised throughout the season. Culinary experiences are of many kinds, but nothing beats consuming a newly-opened oyster out in the stunning landscape of the Wadden Sea.

Only a few experiences reveal the majesty of nature as does the Black Sun phenomenon (a murmuration of starlings). It is breathtaking to see the large flocks of hundreds of thousands of starlings, whether they are dancing in the evening sky or simply gathering to find a place for the night among the reeds. During the spring and autumn migration of these birds this fascinating sight may be seen in many places along the Wadden Sea, and you might well be lucky to encounter the flocks. But taking one of the many arranged tours with a nature guide is a good idea, the starlings often change resting places, and local knowledge is needed to forecast the current locations.

Nowhere can you see Denmark’s largest predator, the seals, at such close quarters as in the Wadden Sea. There are many sandbanks where the seals go to bask and breed. Today, seals are protected, and it is estimated that approximately 5,000 seals live in the Danish section of the Wadden Sea. At Koresand south of Mandø or at Langjord near Sønderho on Fanø you can get close to a seal sandbank on foot, but otherwise the Fisheries and Maritime Museum in Esbjerg is a good place to get to know the seals better. At the Museum’s sealarium, you can see the seals being fed twice a day, hear about their lives and watch them romp in the water.

On a Wadden Sea tour, one experiences the Wadden Sea’s plant and wildlife, where the nature guide, through narratives, makes it all present and at the same time puts the area’s great importance into a global perspective. When you see the monotonous Wadden Sea landscape, it is difficult to imagine that this particular area is one of the world’s most productive nature areas. Depending on the season, this trip will vary. The trip here can be performed in different effort levels.

When birdwatching in the Wadden Sea, you have the opportunity to experience some of the birds that migrate along the East Atlantic Flyway. Just the idea, that several of the birds cross between 25-33 countries, can make one humble to the greatness of nature. Bird watching often starts 2.5 hours before high tide and the birds are pressed against the coasts. The Wadden Sea is in many ways Denmark’s savannah, each species of bird is designed differently and the birds of prey, peregrine falcon and sea eagles set the agenda.

On Mandø you experience nature in all its magnificence. Even getting there teaches you that the forces of nature are to be reckoned with. The tractor bus provides a safe and fascinating ride over the marshlands. Alternatively, you can check the high tide tables and drive over in your own car along the Låningsvejen. As a guest you quickly fall into the rhythm of nature along with the island’s 30 permanent residents. Let the island calm fall over you and focus on local things, the church or Mandøhuset (museum) for example, or just follow the marked paths along the dykes with the rich bird life all around. Here you get the feel of this Wadden Sea island, which so often has had to contend with violent storms, though the danger is less now that a sea-dyke protects most of the island.

Ribe Cathedral is the first thing that catches your eye when you enter Ribe. This is Denmark’s oldest cathedral and Ribe’s soaring landmark for 800 years, visible for miles around over the flat landscape. Begun around 1150, the church was completed about a 100 years later. The walls were built of volcanic tuff, sailed up along the Rhine and used according to the custom of the time to build a three-aisled church with two towers to the west. Later, two side aisles were added, making it Denmark’s only five-aisled church. Today it is both a parish church and the cathedral of the diocese of Ribe. The first north tower collapsed in 1283 and was replaced by the present, larger Commoners’ Tower. A tour of the tower takes you past the Cathedral Museum and provides an unforgettable view from the top over the roofs of Ribe and out over the unique marsh landscape. SEASON

The Night Watchman sings his song and tells the dramatic stories about the history of Ribe. For some, the experience is so special, that it is a standard feature to join in the atmospheric walk when visiting Ribe. During nighttime the Night Watchman was responsible for keeping peace and order, making sure that the streetlights were on, and to raise alarm in case of fire and flodding. Moreover, the Night Watchman marked the strike of the hour by singing in the streets. He sang to reassure the citizens that he was keeping watch, but also because very few people had a watch at that time. Book the Night Watchman for your indoor event. He will entertain you by singing and telling stories about Ribe’s many years of dramatic and exiting history.

What were the origins of Ribe and how did the town’s inhabitants live when Ribe was a major European trading centre ? Ribe Viking Museum is the place to find the answers. The exhibitions of unique archaeological finds present the history of Ribe from the beginning of the 700s and on through the Viking Age and the Middle Ages to about 1700. In the years 710-850, the Viking marketplace flourished, and the museum’s Viking Age exhibition is packed with beautiful objects from the workshops of the bead maker, the bronze caster and the comb maker. The exhibition about Ribe in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance tells about daily life: play, health and sickness - about religious houses and churches and about the ongoing profitable trading in the town.

About his youthful infatuation with the beautiful Elisabeth from the richest family in Ribe, whom, thanks to his perseverance, he was eventually able take with him across the Atlantic as his bride. The story of Jacob A.

The best-known Danish witch, Maren Spliids, came from Ribe - she was burned at the stake in 1641 and thus fell victim to the fears of her time. The exhibits help visitors understand the widespread spiritual beliefs that helped ordinary people understand and cope with illness, distress and loss. But visitors will also meet the scholars who maintained that the devil always had a finger in the pie. These two angles on magic merged in the contemporary perceptions of witches and wizards, who were feared at every level of society. HEX ! delves into some very specific processes and also talks about the European rulers who allowed courts to prosecute and condemn those thought to be in the service of the devil.

From its beginnings in 1868, Esbjerg became the 5th largest city in Denmark in just 100 years. It took the lead in areas such as urban development, social policy, schools and kindergartens. Esbjerg was the first Danish city to be affected by the Second World War, and the first city to offer resistance to the occupying power. Esbjerg Museum has three exhibitions covering the occupation period and everyday life in Esbjerg from 1900 to 1950. A much praised exhibition, THE OCCUPATION - Esbjerg 1943, gets visitors involved when the fictional ”Hansen family” welcomes them and asks for help in resolving the dilemmas they faced during the occupation. RESISTANCE - Esbjerg Ribe Bramming 1940-45 explores the local resistance struggle in depth. In the Esbjerg 1900-1950’ exhibition visitors can visit the grocery store, the shops on the town square, the apartment of a worker’s family and that of a director. SEASON

The atmosphere in the medieval city centre cannot be described in words. It has to be experienced. The cobbled narrow streets, the well-preserved houses and plaques each tell their part of the proud history that stretches back to around 710 AD. Only the rushing water of the water mills, the sound of bells and the evening song of the night watchman break the silence. Set aside plenty of time to pay a visit to Ribe Cathedral. From its tower you can gaze out over the Wadden Sea National Park, which is a Unesco World Heritage attraction. This captivating sight calls for closer exploration.

Following the defeat of Denmark in 1864, just a few houses near a beach became the key to the country’s recovery, and in less than 100 years Denmark’s 5th largest city. Esbjerg started as a port for vital agricultural exports and later became Denmark’s largest fishing port, with more than 600 fishing boats. Today, fish are no longer landed here, but the city has become an offshore and energy centre, one of the world’s largest wind turbine transit ports. For 150 years, Esbjerg has been synonymous with a pioneering spirit and a dynamic commercial life. But Esbjerg is also a vibrant, modern city with a rich cultural scene, cafés, shopping centres and much else besides. Walking through the city and down to the harbour over the new pedestrian and cycle bridge, you are walking through an important piece of modern Danish history.

Fanø Art Gallery is housed in a building from 1868, formerly used as a grocery and ship’s provisions store. From 1992 it has served as a museum exhibiting works of art from around 1850 until today. The first artists to visit the island were the marine painters C.F. Sørensen, and Viggo Faurholdt. Towards the end of the 1870’s popular life and the island’s traditions were depicted by Julius Exner. In the early 20th century Sigvard Hansen, N.P.Mols and August Wilckens began to visit the island, as well as the internationally orientated Johan Rohde. Subsequently, symbolists and art noveau painters like Heinrich Dohm, C.J.Forsberg and Jacob Nøbbe appeared. In the 30’s Reinhard Heinemann, Elsa Nøbbe, Anne Marie Hansen settled here. In the mid-century Lili Ege, Ruth Heinemann and Helle Monies spent much of their time painting in Sønderho. Today Finn Hjortskov, Marie Louise Exner and Marco Brodde continue the legacy. SEASON

MAN MEETS THE SEA CONTACT VADEHAVSKYSTEN SKOLEGADE 33 DK-6700 ESBJERG M INFO@VADEHAVSKYSTEN.DK W VADEHAVSKYSTEN.DK

Near the beach just north of Esbjerg’s bustling port - as if designed to be a thought-provoking contrast - stands a major work of Danish sculpture: Svend Wiig Hansen’s ”Man meets the Sea” (1994). The four figures, 9 metres tall, gaze out to sea with a serene, unassailable tranquillity that is striking even from afar. They form a group, yet are seemingly left to sit alone with their own private yearning. Locally, the sculpture is aptly called ”The Four White Men”. According to the artist himself (1922-1997), they depict the profound connection between nature and the pure, pristine human being emerging from its mother’s womb, before encountering the fascinating confusion of the world.

Make your meeting or excursion to an unforgettable experience with a race in Blokarts. Three wheels, a sail and the beach on Fanø. A Blokart is roughly a sailing dinghy on wheels. Speeds of 3050 km / h are easily achieved depending on the wind. Do not miss the completely unique feeling it is when the wind grabs the sail and you silently drive across the beach. After a short but thorough instruction, you are pushed on to the marked track. Beachracer can, as desired, set up a regatta (a marked track where you have to drive and round a number of markings) or you can drive freely on the large beach cruiser area at Rindby Strand. Anyone can drive Blokarts. It usually takes no more than five to ten minutes before you feel that you are in control of the landyacht. Driving Blokart is not about team building and all sorts of other marketing talk. It’s about having fun and trying something that makes most people laugh. Drive as a team with regular shifts or drive as you like. Beachracer has seven Blokarts. Depending on the weather, it is recommended to bring extra clothing (if it is wet on the beach) and sunglasses (if there is sun and blowing sand). See you on the beach, racers. SEASON
