VadehavsCentret Southern Jutland

About 10km southwest of Ribe, VadehavsCentret is a top-notch information and activity centre and the best source of information about the park. Inside a beautiful new extension (built from reed thatch), there are exhibitions on the tides, flora and fauna of the national park. The information on migratory birds is superb.The centre runs a calendar of seasonal tours that range from bird-watching and seal-spotting to mudflat walks and food foraging; some are designed for kids and families. A five-hour oyster safari is 280kr (runs October to April); Sort Sol viewing is 75kr. Details and departure points are outlined on the website.From the centre, there are tractor-buses running across the tidal flats at low tide to the small outlying island of Mandø.Buses to the centre are limited (bus 411 from Ribe runs on school days only).
