Rosenkranz–Rudbøl Border Crossing
Highlight • Structure
The road that winds between the houses to the Rosenkranz-Rudbøl border crossing is narrow. This unusual border town is located near the west coast and near the Emil Nolde Foundation in Neukirchen. On the road, pedestrians are constantly looking for the embedded border markers. So you don't know exactly whether you are in Germany or Denmark, and the border runs partly between the houses in a westerly direction.
But why was the border drawn this way at the Rosenkranz-Rudbøl border crossing? One explanation describes the personal wish of the house owners on the western side to belong to Denmark. In fact, part of the border runs between the properties.
The other version says that the planned border should have run right through the Old German Border Krog and so it was agreed that the border should be in the middle of the road. The most likely scenario, however, is that the Ruttebüller See was to be allocated half to both countries in order to give the rush cutters and fishermen equal opportunities.
The western Koog, however, should definitely belong to Denmark and so it was agreed that the border between Denmark and Germany should run along the middle of the top of the dike towards the Koog. And this very top of the dike is the road.
The border itself is marked with buoys on the Ruttebüller See.

Rosenkranz–Rudbøl Border Crossing
Highlight • Structure
If you walk along this road, you will see the border stones in the asphalt. So Germany is on the eastern side, Denmark on the western side.
The most likely explanation for this border line is probably in the lake. Half of it should belong to both countries in order to offer fishermen and reed cutters on both sides the same opportunities. The western Koog, however, should definitely be given to Denmark. It was agreed that the route should be in the middle of the dike crest towards the Koog and the road runs exactly over the dike crest.
Every 10 years, and always when the year ends with a "...4", a delegation from both countries inspects the correct position of the border markers. In this case, that means that Danes and Germans go out on the water in a boat and check the border buoy on the lake and replace it if necessary.
From the border crossing, a bridge leads over the Vidå to Rudbøl. Small cafes and restaurants, a fairly large and beautifully located campsite and a small, cozy hostel underline the inviting charm of this community.

The first restaurant is Schackenborg Slotskro, which is directly opposite the parking lot in Slotsgaden. The beautiful old inn offers overnight accommodation and a gourmet menu. There are 25 individually furnished rooms named after Danish castles and mansions. Some of the rooms are located in three adjoining Grade I listed buildings that have been beautifully restored.
