The Horns Rev 1 to 3 offshore wind farms off the coast of Esbjerg constitute the largest wind farm in Northern Europe. Horns Rev 1 was the first offshore wind farm to be built in the North Sea. The wind farm is named after the sandbank, Horns Rev, on which the wind turbines were erected. From Blåvand beach – the most westerly point of Denmark – you can see the wind turbines on the horizon on a clear day. In the information centre, there is a small exhibition about the wind farms off the coast. Esbjerg harbour is also worth a visit: you can get very close to the huge special ships that come and go while the offshore wind turbines are being built.
