General presentation
Ribe et mer des Wadden
Old brick town, sea marsh, birds and low islands on the west coast of Jutland.
The discovery of Ribe and Wadden Sea is built around Ribe Cathedral, Ribe Viking Centre and Mandø. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coastline, wetlands and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Cathedral
Cathédrale de Ribe
The cathedral of Ribe Over the past nine centuries, a town has been dominated by old streets and houses. The tower allows you to read the roofs, the meadows and the perfectly flat horizon of the Wadden Sea.
Culture and heritage
Centre viking de Ribe
The Viking center restores farms, market and workshops outside of Ribe with artisans and demonstrations. The experience gives flesh to the commercial square of the city long before its current medieval architecture.
Place indismissible
Mandø
Mandø is an island of the Wadden Sea connected to the continent by a submersible roadway. The journey depends on the tides and leads to a landscape of dikes, salt meadows and birds where the sea still imposes the calendar.
Nature park
Parc national de la mer des Wadden
The park protects mudflats, channels and marshes where millions of birds stop. A guided exit allows us to observe this changing world without underestimating the tides or the fragility of the environment.
