Rømø

Rømø, off the west coast of Jutland, one of the North Friesian Islands, is the largest Danish island in the North Sea. Many birds nest here. A stone causeway 10km/6mi in length through the mud flats links the island with the mainland. Rømø is separated from the German island of Sylt by the Lister Deep (Listerdyb). There is a car ferry to List.
