Villas in Egernsund

About Egernsund

Egernsund sits at the north-western tip of the Broager Land peninsula, on the northern shore of Flensburg Fjord. It was once part of a major brick-making district, with more than 40 brickworks operating in the area at its peak around 1890, and the small harbour used to ship bricks out. The church, built in 1909, is made of hand-made stones from the local works. Marina Minde, just south-east of the town, takes its name from a brickworks that stood on the site until 1965. All the homes lie close together, mostly for four to eight people, with a fireplace in nearly all and a sauna in some. None have a private pool. Out of season this is a town of a little over a thousand residents, so plan meals and supplies ahead.

When to go to Egernsund

This is a fjord-shore and marina stay, so the warmer months suit it best. The town has only about 1,400 residents, so outside summer it is very quiet, and shop and restaurant hours may be short. Nearly all homes have a fireplace, which makes a winter stay practical. Check opening hours before you travel.
