Things to Do  

Forest trails

Forest trails, Rømø

 Inguuna Says:  There are many parking points on the island where one can take some meal, rest or also take the tour into forest. Better to have the islands' map which are provided in tourist office or camping sites, so easier to orientate there. To spend time on the island and waiting for... 

Grey seals

Grey seals, Rømø

 Inguuna Says:  On our guided tour we were lucky to see 34 seals, two wales which were promised on the beginning were swimming somewhere else. As I wrote in previous tip the ship goes quite close to observe them clearer, you can even take binocular to see the nice faces :)The smaller ones... 

Excursion to see the grey seals and crabs

Excursion to see the grey seals and crabs, Rømø

 Inguuna Says:  The primary thing for me was to see the seals, watch birds and to observe who live in Nordic sea. Everyday excursions are organized from Havneby port and tickets can be bought on the ship or at the port. I don't know if timetable changes but I went there at afternoon and it... 

enjoy the beaches

enjoy the beaches, Rømø

 globetrott Says:  There is not a lot to see in Rømø, as far as I remember, most of the island is used for beaches, camping-sites, bungalows etc.the best about the beaches is that it is almost totally flat and so the water gets really warm and children are never in danger by drafts etc.the... 

Bird watching... Yes real Brids!

Bird watching... Yes real Brids!, Rømø

 TheView Says:  Rømø is with its marshland a sanctuary to birds and ideal for looking at birds so remember your binoculars. We did get to see marshharriers, oystercatchers, starlings that can make this phenomenon called black sun if they are enough, we was not that lucky to see this.... 

Sand - Sculpture contest

Kommandørgården (The commodore's house)

Kommandørgården (The commodore's house), Rømø

 bscott1 Says:  Built in 1784, the home gives you a feel for how the relatively well-off lived during that time period. There are rooms filled with ceiling and wall paintings, as well as one room that is covered in Dutch wall tiles. 

Rømø Kirke

Rømø Kirke, Rømø

 bscott1 Says:  This church is filled with relics, some of which are over 800 years old. On the outside of the church lined up against the wall there are tombstones of old sailors. 

Hotels  

Kommanorgardens Camping: Camping near sea with horses

Kommanorgardens Camping: Camping near sea with horses, Rømø

 Inguuna Says:  You can kill two birds with one stone - camping place with horses farm. The camping was OK, nothing special, just primal needs for short staying. There were special places for tents which were separated by bushes and trees; that kind of extra I haven't seen nowhere. Maybe I... 

Camping: one of my best childhood memories

Camping: one of my best childhood memories, Rømø

 globetrott Says:  There is a large camping-site in Romo and the only dis-advantage was that the beach was in quite a distance. But on the other hand this was made also for safety reasons, because the beach is so very flat that ebb and tide make a difference of 100 meters or more in the... 

Transportation  

Ferry to Sylt from Rømø

Ferry to Sylt from Rømø, Rømø

 metteks Says:  To get to the nearby German island Sylt (In Danish; Sild), you have to take the ferry. It leaves from Havneby on the southern end of Rømø, and arrives at the town of List on Sylt. It leaves about every 1½ hour, and the trip takes 30 minutes. It is possible to bring your car,... 

To the island by car

To the island by car, Rømø

 Inguuna Says:  The small R&#248m&#248 island is located in Wadden sea on the edge of Denmark and very close to Germany. So I suggest if you are visiting North Germany maybe you can catch it. R&#248m&#248 with main land is connected by dam which can be easily be crossed by car and there is... 

how to get to Rømø

how to get to Rømø, Rømø

 globetrott Says:  Rømø is an island, but it is connected by the road #175 over a long dam with the mainland of Danmark. There is no extra-fee to be payed for that road, so it is easy to get there.The next trainstation is in Skærbæk ( 16km from Rømø) and with a bus-connection to the island. 

Shopping  

By the road ...as you see it!: Self-Service

By the road ...as you see it!: Self-Service, Rømø

 TheView Says:  One little thing I really like is that its taken for granted in Denmark that you can have a little self-service booth to sell vegetables and fruits from the side of the road ....AND IT WORKS. In Rømø there was nice ecological Honey from the island. What the sign says... 

Local Customs  

Sweet briars

Sweet briars, Rømø

 Inguuna Says:  As I go somewhere abroad I look what are specific things which can be found in that place. So I noticed that everywhere here are growing sweet briars. Even on the cards it was shown that specific thing is that bush with hips. I don't know what are the reason just for good... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Prepare to pay more

Prepare to pay more, Rømø

 Inguuna Says:  I never have written that something is expensive or so but Denmark shocked me a little bit. If you're coming just straight from Germany or Poland you may feel that prices here are higher than there. Or another thing - I thought that on island the prices for everything were a... 

ebb & tide - a way to say farewell to your car !

ebb & tide - a way to say farewell to your car !, Rømø

 globetrott Says:  Be aware of the fact that such a flat beach as in Rømø will move the beach and coast-line more than 100 meters inlands, when the tide is coming.In our case my father parked our car close to the water, while it was ebb and then he took a walk with the only car-key and we... 

Megalomania

Megalomania, Rømø

 TheView Says:  The crabs here seems to have delusions or problems with there measure. When they as they do meeting other crabs measure themselfs by seeing how fare there are between the claws to see if the other might be good for lunch. Some of the crabs think your toes look like a good... 

Tourist Traps  

Modern wreck hunters

Modern wreck hunters, Rømø

 TheView Says:  The beaches here are very large and you are allowed to drive your car out on the hard sand ..but stay here at the hard sand and walk the last bit. Even if there are cars with 4 wheel drive closer to the water. Some of this cars belong to local danes doing themself as moden...

Holiday Island in the North Sea

RhineRoll profile photo

 Römö is a wonderful place. It's a small flat island in the North Sea being very well equipped for (predominantly German) holidaymakers. Whereas the eastern costline is tidal, the west coast has alwas...
