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.

Ioana and Sorin

 
Romanian Family:

We have been made very welcome

”We love our country, Romania, but we have also grown very fond of Denmark which has become our home,” says 37-year-old Sorin Ungureanu who - together with his wife Ioana and their two children - find themselves so much at home that in the autumn of 2017 they bought the house of their dreams in Borris. Borris is a town with approximately 800 inhabitants in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality – geographically the biggest municipality in Denmark.

“We have been living here since 2011 and our children are fully integrated in the local community and gradually, so are we. We have been made to feel really welcome in this town. People gladly help us and we are very happy about living here,” Sorin says whilst simultaneously smiling at Erling Søndergaard - one of the passionate locals who likes to give a lending hand. Erling has helped the family with the purchase of their house, and as a friend of the family he joins our conversation as to why Sorin and Ioana came to Denmark and what it is like for a foreign family to move to Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality.

”We are also happy having you here. We can tell that you like being here, and you have also done a great deal to become a part of the community,” Erling points out referring to the fact that Sorin among others has been active in leading a father-child gymnastics team and a table tennis team in town.
