| The National Museums Commanders House (Kommandørgården) can be found
a few hundred meters from the camp site . Kommandør (Commander) ist the Dutch word for
captain. The house dates from 1748 and is fully restored, including panels, ceilings and
doors. The walls are covered with Dutch tiles and the furnishings are for their time
extremely lavish.
The commanders sailed from Rømø and served as captains
on Dutch and German ships which sailed on whaling expeditions to Greenland.
In the
first weekend of September one of the largest annual kite festival in Europe will be held
at the beach. Thousands of kite enthusiasts will then flock to the beach with their
fantastic colored kites.
