The silence, the infinite and ever-changing landscape creates an enduring memory. The Wadden Sea and the salt marsh are among the most valuable wetland areas in the world and of crucial importance for breeding birds, fish, ocean mammals, and plant life. Four times every twenty-four hours, a billion cubic meters of water is moved through the Wadden Sea, where powerful forces are in play when the tide creates mudflats and sandflats by moving mud and sand in dramatic fashion.
The Wadden Sea is one of the world's most important tidal flats. A large and unique nature reserve - a place full of life and experiences. The Wadden Sea is both the still surface water and the turbulent ocean outside the dike.
Experience nature on your own or with a guide. If you want to know more about the nature around the unique Wadden Sea, we recommend that you begin your journey of discovery with a visit to the Wadden Sea Center - a place for the whole family.

So close and yet so different from the big city, the small island awaits with great experiences in the Wadden Sea National Park. The short ferry crossing from Esbjerg to Fanø makes distance to everyday stress and rush.
Skallingen is nature, where electricity and wind build up and tear down. At Langli, bird life is unique - for both juveniles and migratory birds. And the seals relax between fishing trips in the North Sea at Skalling Ende.
Only a few kilometres from the town centre and the harbour of Esbjerg the sandy beaches begin. From the giant sculpture "Man Meets the Sea" and up along the shore to the sea front of Hjerting you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
