Broager suits couples and families who want a stay on the Broager peninsula, on the north shore of Flensburg Fjord. Expect to drive for most days out, since the sights are spread around the fjord on both sides of the border.
Broager is a town on the Broager peninsula, on the north side of Flensburg Fjord, with Germany across the water and Flensburg at the head of the fjord. Broager's church is one of the fjord's attractions, and the two small Ox Isles lie off the Danish shore to the west. Our homes are grouped in one tight area, mostly sleeping around five, with a fireplace in most and a sauna in about a fifth. Egernsund, at the north-western end of the peninsula, has a small harbour, a brick church from 1909 and a brickmaking past, with more than 40 brickworks around 1890. A bridge crosses the Egern Strait to Gråsten, whose palace is a royal summer residence.
A small harbour town at the north-western end of the peninsula, with a 1909 brick church and Marina Minde just to the south-east.
A town of about 4,300 with the royal family's summer residence, linked to Egernsund by a bridge.
The town on the island of Als, which partly closes off the outer end of the fjord.
The German port town at the inner end of the fjord, with a harbour worth a visit.
A German town on the south shore, where Glücksburg Castle is one of the attractions on the fjord.
Billund has flights from London Heathrow and Gatwick, and from there you drive on to the peninsula. Gråsten has a station on the Sønderborg railway line, but a car is the practical way to reach and use a base on the Broager peninsula.
Summer is when the royal family moves into Gråsten Palace, just over the Egern Strait, and the season for days out to Flensburg harbour and Glücksburg Castle across the water. The homes also suit cooler months, since most have a fireplace and some a sauna. Out of season, check opening times for sights before you travel.
Broager is a town on the Broager peninsula, on the north side of Flensburg Fjord in southern Denmark. Germany lies across the fjord, and Flensburg is at its inner end.
Egernsund, at the north-western end of the peninsula, was a major brick-making area, with more than 40 brickworks around 1890. Seven brick makers remain in the area today. Its church was built in 1909 of bricks from the local works.
Broager puts you on the peninsula by the fjord. Gråsten, with about 4,300 people, is on the other side of the Egern Strait and has the royal summer residence and a railway station on the Sønderborg line.
Yes. Flensburg lies at the inner end of the fjord and Glücksburg, with its castle, is on the German shore, so both make a day out across the border.
