Ringkøbing Fjord, Large lagoon and Ramsar site in Central Denmark.

The Ringkøbing Fjord spans 30 kilometers in length and maintains a depth between 2 to 3 meters across its 300 square kilometer surface.

The waterway evolved from a bay in the 1600s, with sand deposits gradually shifting its position southward from its original location near Sønder Havrvig.

The Tipperne peninsula within the fjord serves as a protected bird sanctuary where researchers study and monitor various water bird species.

Boats can access the fjord through the Hvide Sande Canal, which contains a floodgate system to regulate water flow between the North Sea and the lagoon.

The Holmsland Dunes, a 40-kilometer natural sand barrier, separate the freshwater fjord from the salt waters of the North Sea.
