Rømø Dragon Festival

It is a spectacular sight that will greet you at this festival – and it is therefore definitely worth a visit! There is free admission for everyone at the festival area with or without a kite – so bring the family and experience the unique sight of the many thousands of colors in the sky over Rømø.
Natural phenomenon

Experience the amazing phenomenon of Black Sun.

Have you ever seen 100,000 – 400,000 starlings dance gracefully in the evening sky over Ribe Marsken? This natural phenomenon is called Sort Sol, and it usually takes place in autumn and spring. The phenomenon depends on the number of birds of prey in the area and the weather, which determines the birds' dance in the evening sky. Sort Sol can be experienced in Ribe Østerå at both Damhuset and the bird tower, Vilslev Enge and Ribe Vesterå on your own, but you can also go on a guided tour by contacting tel. 75446161. Remember to bring warm clothes, good company, a cup of coffee and a lot of patience – Enjoy!
Nature experience

Experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Wadden Sea

The Wadden Sea is in itself a completely unusual natural experience, which is why the area is placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The Wadden Sea can be a broad term, and the Wadden Sea Center is therefore the perfect place to start when you are exploring the National Park. The center offers a wealth of activities such as seal safaris, tidal tours for children and walks on the seabed. Get a guide to your next experience at the Wadden Sea below.
