Mandø - the island in the Wadden Sea

Mandø has its very own circadian rhythm, which also characterizes the lives of the 40 permanent residents. Although the nearest town, Vester Vedsted, is only 11 kilometers away, it is mentally far for the island's friendly and proud inhabitants. Colored poles mark a series of routes, where nature and bird life generously show themselves, and the sheep graze on the dykes. The sandbank Koresand southwest of the island is in itself worth a trip. Here it is possible to find amber, take a dip in the North Sea and watch seals. History and tradition Mandø Church's history is marked by the sometimes violent whims of nature. Storm floods took the island's first two churches in the 1th and 1500th centuries, and learned from the past, the current, whitewashed church from 1600 was built on the island's highest point. The town is now protected by a sea dyke, so that the people of Mandø can face the fury of the elements without fearing for their own lives and the lives of the animals.
