Langli (island)

Langli is a small marsh island in the Ho Bugt near Esbjerg on the Danish North Sea Coast.

Langli (original “Langeleje” = long camp) was up to the flood of 1634 part of a peninsula.

Afterwards sea-laterally a second peninsula (today Skallingen) began to develop itself, which from now on protected Langli.

The destruction by two floods and the refusal of the state to support the reconstruction of the dikes led to all inhabitants leaving the island in 1915.

A multiplicity of different kinds of bird breed on Langli, e.g. seagulls, black-fronted terns etc.
