Straight ahead, or to the left, you can see the German side and the northern end of Gelting Bay. To the right, towards the northwest, you can see the Danish peninsula of Broager Land in the distance. Between them lies the entrance to the Inner Fjord. To the right, towards the north, lies the Bay of Sønderborg.
