Esbjerg

Esbjerg balances the purposeful energy of a North Sea port with the open tidal world of the Wadden Sea, reflecting its position on Denmark’s west coast. Founded as a harbour town in 1868, it developed into an important outlet for Danish trade after Denmark lost Altona in 1864. Today, its harbour supports offshore wind activity as well as shipping, while the Fisheries and Maritime Museum explores the city’s seafaring identity. On Sædding Beach, Svend Wiig Hansen’s 1995 sculpture Men at Sea places four white, nine-metre figures against the coast. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Region of Southern Denmark and the Danish Wadden Sea.
