Villas in Nordborg

About Nordborg

Nordborg is a town of about 5,700 people on the northwest half of Als, an island of 321 square kilometres off Jutland's east coast. Danfoss, founded in 1933, has its headquarters here, and it has a castle whose grounds are now a boarding school. The homes are scattered around the town over a wide area rather than gathered in one spot, so ask where a house sits. Most have a fireplace, many have a sauna and the typical one sleeps six, with a few far larger. Als has bays and coves on the west coast and the Northern Forest and Lake Nordborg on the east. Winter is a quiet season for a fireside stay.

Getting to Nordborg

Billund Airport is a practical landing point, about one hour 50 minutes by road. The Alssund Bridge, 682 metres long, carries road traffic across the strait onto Als. You will want a car: homes are scattered, and the beaches, ferries and Sønderborg are all separate drives.

When to go to Nordborg

Summer is when the Augustenborg castle church opens to the public, and the bays and coves of the west coast and the Northern Forest by Lake Nordborg suit long days outdoors. Ferries run from Hardeshøj and Fynshav to the mainland, Ærø and Funen. In winter the draw is indoors, with saunas in many homes and fireplaces in most. Check ferry timetables and opening times before an off-season trip.
