Ho is a village in southwestern Jutland in the Varde Municipality, in Region of Southern Denmark. Many tourists, especially Germans, visit the village primarily because of the nature of the area. It is 7 kilometers from Blåvand, 11 kilometers from Oksbøl and 32 from Esbjerg.

Etymology

Ho is linked to Ho Bugt. Ho is derived from Hõi, which means trough or cart. Ho can therefore be translated into "the fjord that looks like a trough".[1]
