Low tide to high tide on Mandø last summer

#Mandø is one of the #Danish Wadden Sea islands off the southwest coast of Jutland, Denmark in the Wadden Sea, part of the North Sea. The island covers an area of 7.63 square kilometres (2.95 square miles) and had 40 inhabitants in January 2018. Isladsi is part of Esbjerg Municipality and is situated approximately 12 kilometres (7 miles) southwest of the ancient town of Ribe. Mandø is barely accessible at high tide over an unpaved surface level causeway of about four kilometers in length that connects the island to the mainland. Extensive mudflats and tidal marshes encircle the island and provide breeding areas to multitudes of birds and other organisms.In the past centuries a large earthen dike has been constructed around the perimeter of the island, although substantially set back from the shoreline. This artifice has allowed conventional farming in the form of grain growing and sheep grazing. Mandø is technically a hallig, although it is far from the ten German islands commonly described by that term. The name was formerly often spelled Manø. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZ6x9IDCyj/?igshid=10e9pbhwqpq6k

Traktor med kjølvann til Mandø

Traktor med kjølvann til Mandø

Det ble en innholdsrik dag. I morgens, (litt tidlig) tok vi avsted til Vadehavscentret utenfor Ribe. Målet var en traktortur ut i havet til Mandø. Øya har vei som er kjørbar bare ved lavvann, den ene veien kjørte vi i havet, mens hjemveien gikk på veien, som bare var delvis oversvømmet.

Det hele var ganske spesielt. Første gang vi har prøvd oss i traktortilhenger med baugbølge! Men utrolig…
