Villas in Sjølund

About Sjølund

Sjølund is a coastal postcode in the Kolding area, and Grønninghoved Strand is its landmark. The beach has fine sand and shallow water over a sandy and stony bottom, plus a bathing jetty, a toilet, parking and a Blue Flag. Our homes sit in a tight cluster, and most sleep about six. Many have a sauna and a fireplace, while a pool is rare. Evenings are rural and still, so a meal out usually means driving to Kolding. Skamlingsbanken, a hill of 113 metres between Kolding and Christiansfeld, is linked to the beach by a walk of about five kilometres there and back, and it has a visitor centre with a café.
