Blåvandshuk is a headland on the North Sea coast of Jutland northwest of Esbjerg, and is the westernmost point of metropolitan Denmark. The Blåvand Lighthouse is the westernmost located building in Denmark. Before January 1, 2007, Blåvandshuk was also the name of a municipality (Danish, ''kommune'') that contained the headland. The municipality covered an area of 223 km², and had a total population of 4,378 (2005). Its latest mayor was Hans Chr. Thoning, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town and site of its municipal council was the town of Oksbøl. Because Blåvandshuk is on the coast and has a peninsula (''Skallingen'') which stretches to the southeast, it is surrounded by much water. To the northwest is the North Sea. To the southeast of ''Skallingen'' is Fanø Bay (''Fanø Bugt'') where the island Fanø lies. Beyond Fanø Bay is the Wadden Sea. To the northeast of ''Skallingen'' lies Ho Bay (''Ho Bugt'') and the small island of Langli. ''Skallingen'' and the waters off its coast are protected, a part of the Wadden Sea wildlife reserve and protection area being discussed as a potential national park. Located on ''Skallingen'' A significant portion of Blåvandshuk is marsh land, moor, dunes, and beaches. Blåvandshuk municipality ceased to exist due to ''Kommunalreformen'' ("The Municipal Reform" of 2007). It was merged with former Blaabjerg, Helle, Varde, and Ølgod municipalities to form a new Varde municipality. == External links == * (Varde municipality's official website ) * (Varde municipality's official tourist information website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blåvandshuk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
