Shelter and Campsite at the Old Danish-German Border

Highlight • Rest Area

The border between Denmark and Germany ran here until 1920. Then North Schleswig decided in a referendum to belong to Denmark. More information: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleswig

Today there is a digital information terminal with backgrounds on the history of the region in several languages. There is also a free overnight place with toilets, fresh water, a fireplace and shelters here.

Frihedsbroen Bridge and Shelter Area

Highlight • Bridge

At Frihedsbroen, the characteristic red-and-white railing colors have been preserved, which in the period 1864 to 1920 were used to mark the feeling of Danishness in the area. The official border crossings were at Foldingbro and Skodborg Hus.

Here there are two shelters with room for 4-5 people in each, water, toilet building and fire pit as well as tables / bench sets. The site is located by a parking lot and in the same place there is also a tent site. On the northern bank of the Kongeå river just after the Freedom Bridge, it is possible to haul canoes ashore.

It is free to use the shelter pitches along Kongeåstien, and the pitch is left tidy. The shelters cannot be booked in advance.

Brændegårdsstien

Highlight • Trail

"Brændegård" was originally a three-story building that belonged to "Mariegaard". The estate's carriages and horses were housed here, and the coachmen and employees lived here. There was a fire station here around 1900 - perhaps hence the name? The dyer Frederik Hansen started his dyeing business here before setting up a dye factory by the river at Jels Søndergade 10-12 in 1912.
