  • The newest landmark in Esbjerg -- also at the harbor -- has attracted a lot of attention, both from visitors and locals. Called "Esbjerg's new giants," they are four chalky white figures, the late Svend Wiig Hansen's enormous sculpture, "Man Meets the Sea," located at Saeding Strand, on a big area of the shore opposite the fishing museum . These concrete figures, gazing out across the mysterious sea, are 79m high. They sit upright like Greek columns. The four figures are completely alike
    This Monument is just out the city. Is impossible to miss it, is so big that is easy to find it.
