Rømø

Even before you reach Rømø, you will be overwhelmed by the magnificent birdlife. The 9-km Rømø causeway with mud flats and foreland to either side is an experience in itself. No two days are exactly the same, and if you are lucky, you may even spot some flamingos that have lost their way on the flats.

With an area of around 130 km2, Rømø is the tenth-largest island in Denmark. Built up by the sea and shaped by centuries of wind and rain, this island is a natural treasure in the heart of the Wadden Sea. To start with, Rømø was just a sandbar, but the island gradually grew out of the sea. Sand was deposited to the west, while marshes formed to the east. Even today, you can still see how the island is growing.
