MOVE TO RINGKØBING-SKJERN

THE REALM OF NATURE

Move to Denmark’s biggest municipality

The purpose of the website  www.flytmodvest.dk is to extend the knowledge of the good life in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality. We also call ourselves the Realm of Nature, since we live in the middle of nature and live off it.

We would like to encourage you to move to Ringkøbing-Skjern. We consider it the good life living in the middle of the Realm of Nature, which can boast of having the most satisfied citizens in the world’s second happiest country. The good life is many other things, as you will see if you start exploring the pages. We also highly welcome newcomers who will occupy the vacant jobs in Western Jutland or create new ones themselves.

The initiative for the website was taken several years ago in co-operation between a number of local companies and the municipality, but www.flytmodvest.dk is now administered by:

 

THE SECRETARIAT FOR PROFILING AND SETTLEMENT
Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune, Ved Fjorden 6, 6950 Ringkøbing

You are always welcome to contact:

Dorthe Frydendahl,
Settlement Coordinator

Charlotte and Ian

 
Danish/English couple:

Wish of living the good life

”Above all, we just wanted to be together and live the good life. We love being together” says the Danish/English couple Charlotte and Ian Coles who have settled down in an idyllic old farm house at Kloster, halfway between the Ringkøbing Fjord and the Stadil Fjord and close to the town of Ringkøbing.

It is not surprising that the couple had a wish of the good life in peaceful surroundings with lots of nature. Ian was a Major in the British Army, which meant the couple had moved around military bases in England and Germany for years. Ian had also been deployed close to the world’s war zones, leaving Charlotte alone and suffering months of deprivation during their first year in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality.

They bought the old farmhouse overlooking the Stadil Fjord in 2013, and Charlotte moved in full-time, while Ian could only come home as work allowed. But now the good life has really started as Ian retired this summer.

Ian is 48 years old and he has just landed a job with Vestas - the wind turbine manufacturer – as a Project Training Leader.

Iwona and Jarek

 
Polish family:

Nature and good conditions for the children are crucial

It is first and foremost the good conditions for the children and the clean and beautiful nature that Iwona and Jarek emphasize when expressing why they have chosen to settle in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality in Denmark. In the past two years Iwona and Jarek have been living in the village of Finderup together with their joint child Diego and Jarek’s son Manuel and his daughter Karolina.

”The child-care facilities here are simply so good. They do so much for the development of children. For instance, they are allowed to cook and do woodwork when they can handle a knife– even though it may be a little dangerous. Besides, they also spend a lot of time in nature. In all sorts of weather. It is so healthy for them”, says Iwona who is also really happy with the schools.

”However, the best thing is that you exist to live here – which means that you don’t just constantly work, but you work in order to also live in your spare time”, says Iwona, and Jarek agrees. That was the very reason why he came to Denmark to work, since - as a self-employed motor mechanic with his own construction firm - he just worked and worked without earning sufficient to live on. On top of that he did not have any spare time whatsoever.
