Holidays with content

As a guest in Sønderborg Municipality, you can plan a very versatile holiday.

You'll be surrounded by history everywhere you go, from pre-historic relics and ship finds to war history and reunification. Dybbøl Mill stands on the scenic Dybbøl Banke, the battlefield of the 1864 war, which you can learn more about at Historiecentre Dybbøl Banke. The many museums and collections provide a broad insight and Sønderjyllands Museum at Sønderborg Castle, by the cosy harbour, provides a comprehensive overview of Sønderjyllands cultural history.

Nature is varied and free to explore. The beautiful forests on Als and near Gråsten invite you for a nice stroll or a picnic. Along the coasts of Flensburg Fjord, the Baltic Sea and the island of Als you'll find lovely salt marshes and on the mainland there is a beautiful heathland.

Here you can be active together or alone. Go on a cycling holiday or a riding holiday along the Als Bridle Route. There are hiking trails of various lengths and the Alsstien and Gendarmstien routes are ideal for a multi-day hiking holiday. Take a dip at one of the many Blue Flag beaches or find a quiet stretch for some relaxing fishing.

Nature at the moment

The forests are a beautiful shade of green and are perfect for a pleasant walk or bike ride, accompanied by birdsong.

Along the roads, the wild roses are beginning to bloom, much to the delight of the bees, and as you make your way through the countryside, you can also enjoy the sight of the poppies’ beautiful red colour.
