Villas in Tarm

About Tarm

Tarm is a small railway town of about 4,000 people in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, and it was the main town of the former Egvad municipality. The station opened in 1875 on the Esbjerg to Struer line, with regional trains to Skjern, Herning, Esbjerg and Aarhus. The holiday houses are a different matter: they are bunched within about a kilometre of each other and lie about ten kilometres west-southwest of the town centre, out towards Ringkøbing Fjord rather than in Tarm's streets. Expect a rural setting where you drive to the shop. Ringkøbing Fjord is a shallow lagoon, only two to three metres deep, shielded from the North Sea by the Holmsland Dunes. Many of the houses here have a sauna and a fireplace, but none has a pool, and a good number sleep eight or more.

When to go to Tarm

Tarm is a rural area, so what you get depends on the weather rather than on a season of openings. Tipperne is an important stopover for migratory birds, so birdwatchers will want to time a visit to the migrations. Most houses have a fireplace and many have a sauna, so cooler months can work well for a quiet stay with the stove lit.
