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

The Chinnow family

 
German family:

Good working conditions leaving room for a family life close to the North Sea

In 2019 the Chinnow family moved from Löbau in Germany to Hvide Sande in Denmark. Four years later the family is not in doubt: -We’ll stay here!

The couple Dagmar and Udo are working at the local companies, Hvide Sande Røgeri and Danwest, and they both see the career opportunities as one of the really big gains of having moved to Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune. Here they have been able to let go of their previous worries about job safety and fair pay, and last year their dream of buying their own house came true. 

The two children, Pauline and Pepe, are also happy about having moved to Hvide Sande. They like their new school and appreciate the Danish school system with less tests and more variety during the day. 

In Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune the family has found both tranquility, a house, career opportunities, and new friends. When the holiday makers have to go back after 1-2 weeks’ holiday all four of them are pleased that they can stay and fulfil more dreams in the middle between the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord.

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.
