On the quiet Juvrevej in northern Rømø, Havegærde Af Hvalunderkæber is a small but remarkable landmark: a garden fence made entirely from massive whale jawbones. Erected in the 18th century by a prosperous whaling captain, the bleached bones encircle a traditional thatched property and offer a striking, tangible link to the island’s Arctic whaling era. This free roadside stop is quick to visit yet rich in maritime history and visual drama.

The surrounding landscape features pine forests, open heaths with bell heather and crowberry, and marked walking trails through one of Denmark's most distinctive coastal ecosystems.

Sankt Clemens Kirke, built around 1200 on the Danish island of Rømø, is a striking medieval and baroque church dedicated to Saint Clement, patron saint of sailors. The interior features numerous votive ship models donated by seafarers, wooden pews with inscribed names documenting congregation history, and a remarkable churchyard containing graves of ship commanders and World War II pilots. The church stands as a testament to Rømø's rich maritime heritage, particularly its whaling industry prosperity during the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Old Lifeboat Station on Rømø (Gamle Redningsstation) is a compact, deep-red brick landmark along Havnebyvej, once central to sea rescues off Denmark’s wild Wadden Sea coast. Built in 1887 in a neo‑Romanesque style with painted Dannebrog crosses on its broad gable doors and a distinctive roof turret, it later became the island’s volunteer fire station. Today it stands as a striking reminder of Rømø’s maritime heritage and the constant battle with storms, sandbanks and shipwrecks.

Rømødæmningen is a 9.2km road causeway carrying Rømøvej across the Wadden Sea between the Jutland mainland and the island of Rømø. Built between 1939 and 1948 as a major engineering and employment project, it is Denmark’s longest road embankment and the only land link to Rømø. Crossing it feels like gliding just above the tidal flats, with wide skies, seabirds and grazing sheep on reclaimed marshes. Simple lay-bys let you stop to admire the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea landscape and its ever‑changing tides.

Kanonenhügel is a modest grassy mound overlooking Havneby harbour on the Danish North Sea island of Rømø. Two heavy Swedish cannons from the Thirty Years’ War were placed here in 1932 as a memorial to the 1644 naval battle in the Lister Deep between Rømø and Sylt. Today the site combines low-key military history with wide views over the Wadden Sea, ferry traffic and the working fishing harbour below, making it a brief but atmospheric stop on any stroll through Havneby.
