Experiences in Sønderborg 2024

Sønderborg is a beautiful city, which we have called our attention to several times in recent years. Among other things, we have been over to award diplomas to the country's best ice house in 2020 as well as best burger in 2019.

Below you will find our tips for places to experience, eat and spend the night in and around Sønderborg.

Go on Gendarmstien

The Gendarmstien winds along the coast from Padborg in the west to Høruphav on Als in the east and is one of Denmark's most beautiful hiking routes. If you don't have the courage to walk the entire 84 km long hiking trail, you can also just walk one of the five day stages of the Gendarmstien: the mountain stage, the brick stage, the crow stage, the beach stage or the mill stage.

Enjoy the view of Sønderborg

The view of Sønderborg from Hotel Alsik's 16th floor is a breathtaking sight! However, access to Alsik's "Point of View" requires you to book a ticket. You can easily do this via the button below.

Visit Dybbøl Mill and the 1864 Museum

At Historiecenter Dybbøl Banke, you enter directly into the dramatic days during the war in 1864. You yourself become part of the drama, and you gain new knowledge about one of the most important battles in Danish history. Also enjoy the view of Sønderborg, Dybbøl Mill and the many hiking routes in the area.
