Ribe and Mandø

Our weekend trip to South West Denmark turned out much nicer than we expected :-)
We started with a visit to Esbjerg that was all right, but looking like plenty of other Danish towns. The four men on the beach are worth a (very short, if it is windy) visit:

In the afternoon we headed towards Mandø, an island in the Danish Wadden Sea, reachable by road only at low tide. The drive to the island and the island itself are simply beautiful !!

Ribe, the oldest town in Denmark, is the most beautiful town that I have so far seen in this country. It must be even more picturesque when all trees become green and flowers are blooming... Narrow streets, old charm full buildings, small cafes behind every second corner... 

and a Viking Museum with a Viking Market:
