Danish Wadden Sea Islands

The Danish Wadden Sea islands ( Vadehavsøer ) are located off the coast of Jutland, the Danish Wadden Sea. The islands belong to the Danish Region of Southern Denmark, before 2007 to the offices Jutland and Ribe.

The archipelago consists of islands ( Fano, Mando and Romo ), holms ( Langli ) and Hochsänden ( Koresand and Jordsand ). Ø stands for the Danish island. Mando was before the reclamation of the island is also a holm. In Germany the islands (although not Frisian inhabited ) partly already counted to the North Frisian Islands.

The scenery on the two larger islands ( Fano and Romo ) is characterized by large sandy beaches and dunes. At times, the islanders had to contend with shifting sands. This was one of the reasons for the planting of small island forests. The islands' history is closely linked with the history of maritime trading Ribe on the mainland.

The islands are strongly influenced by tourism in the summer. Nevertheless, even traditions like the Fanødragt have to keep (the island garb ) particularly on Fano. On the islands of Jutland dialects are spoken.
