Romo Island

Dear visitor, first of all, we would like to thank you for visiting our new website and especially the part of "Romo".

Romo (German: Rom) is a Danish island in the Wadden Sea. Romo is part of Tonder municipality. The island has 850 inhabitants and covers an area of 129 km?. Romo is a popular tourist spot each year. Romo is currently the southernmost of Denmark's Wadden Sea Islands (the previous being the small uninhabited island of Jordsand which sank in 1999). Romo is linked to the Danish mainland by a road running across a causeway, and the island also lies only about 3 km from the neighbouring German island Sylt, to which it is connected by ferry. It is home to a number of small communities such as Kongsmark, Osterby, Lakolk, and Sonderstrand. From 1864 until 1920, it belonged to Germany and was part of the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein.

The average air temperature in January 3 C and in July 20 C.
