Whether you love exploring winding ancient pathways, dancing all night, striking a deal, or eating traditional ice cream waffles served with strawberry jam, the Southern Jutland border country offers something for everyone. The area, which is famous for its red brickworks and wild, unspoilt countryside, offers a vast range of attractions for you to enjoy along the Flensburg Fjord.
If you want to explore the area on foot, you can’t miss the Gendarme Path which runs along the fjord. Whichever direction you decide to go, there is plenty for you to do and see. The route is divided into four sections, and each section is quite unique. There are hills and gorges – a varied landscape offering everything from rare species of birds to ancient burial mounds.
At Benniksgaard Hotel & Restaurant in Rinkenæs, test yourself with a round of golf, take in the view of the fjord, and treat yourself to a selection of Southern Jutland specialties in the hotel farm shop. A stone’s throw away is the village of Sønderhav where you can enjoy beautiful view over to the Ox Islands.
If you would rather visit a town, head out to Flensburg and Sønderborg for a perfect evening out, with a generous selection of discos, bars and restaurants set in beautiful, historic surroundings. If you decide to cross the border into Germany, where the food is cheaper, you might be tempted to fill up your car with soft drinks, beer and sweets.
