        It's always nice in Hvide Sande. The numerous cafes and restaurants, great clothes shops and the "port". a trip here is always worthwhile. You can also taste Danish whiskey in the wine shop.

          This is where ships enter the fjord from the sea.

            Exciting when a ship sails from the fjord to the North Sea.

              This is the lock from the port of Hvide Sande to Ringkøbing Fjord or back to the North Sea

                Hvide Sande is a small town with great shops and restaurants .... the harbor has delicious fish and a brewery. Here you should take your time and let yourself drift. Always good for a great day on vacation.

                  Hvide Sande was built around the lock, which is therefore an important part of the town's history. There are two locks in Hvide Sande: a ship lock and a drainage lock.

                  Driving through Hvide Sande you will sometimes find that the bridge in the middle of the city is open. All ships that want to go from the North Sea to Ringkøbing Fjord or vice versa have to go through the lock. But the sluice also has other important functions.

                    Hvide Sande Havn is one of Denmark's most modern fishing ports and has good service facilities. It was built in connection with the construction of the drainage and chamber lock and opened in August 1931. In the years 1970 - 1985, major expansions and renovations of the port were made, and in the years 2002 - 2008, significant investments were made in modernizing the unloading and auction conditions for consumption fish.

                    The port consists of 2 port sections west of the locks: The South Harbor with 2 basins and the North Harbor, and 2 port sections east of the locks in Ringkøbing Fjord: the East Harbor and Tyskerhavn Harbor. The port has a resident fishing fleet consisting of 60 vessels with a total gross tonnage of approximately 4,000 BT.

                    The smaller vessels are disappearing and are partly being replaced by larger vessels of 200-300 BT. In the spring months, many foreign ships visit Hvide Sande Havn, mainly to fish for sole. The harbor entrance is directly on the North Sea. The entrance is protected by a 500 m long pier. The water depth in the entrance is 4.5 - 5.0 m.

                      was really nice to see how the bridge has gone up and a ship is under it.
