Getting There

  • Public Transport

    From Ribe's central station, take a bus to Vester Vedsted, a journey of approximately 20 minutes. Upon arrival, board the Mandø Bus, a tractor-bus that traverses the tidal flats to Mandø. The trip takes about 40 minutes and costs around 60 DKK for a round trip. Be sure to check the bus schedule in advance, as departures vary daily due to tidal conditions.

  • Driving

    Drive from Ribe to Vester Vedsted, a distance of about 10 km. From there, you can either park your car and take the Mandø Bus or, if conditions permit, drive across the tidal road known as Låningsvejen. It's crucial to consult the tidal schedule beforehand, as the road is submerged during high tide. Parking on Mandø is free, but driving around the island is restricted to protect its delicate environment.
