Wed 19th April 2023
We started the day with a visit to Esbjerg approx 20 miles north of Ribe. Esbjerg is a sea port town on the west coast and is the 5th largest city in Denmark. It has the country’s largest port, is the base of its oil industry and is associated with off shore rigs and wind farms.
As you drive out of Esbjerg heading north you come across the Men by the Sea Sculptures which are 9 m tall and made of white concrete.
After driving further north with the sea not far away on our left we stopped for lunch in a huge area of sand dunes, it would have been good to have taken the time to to walk over them and down to the sea but time was short.
We then headed to Ringkobing , our stopover for tonight, it is free and looks like you are staying on someone’s front lawn.
We walked into Ringkobing and found a pleasant town which was a mix of well preserved buildings and plenty of modern ones giving a light airy feel to the town. The town has been in existence since at least the 13c and is situated at the head of Ringkobing Fjord a huge body of inland water linked to the sea at Hvide Sande.
