Villas in Toftlund

About Toftlund

Toftlund is an inland town of about 3,300 in Tønder Municipality, 35 km north-east of Tønder and 30 km north-west of Aabenraa. It was a Prussian administrative centre from about 1870, and German-style buildings from that time survive. Facilities are practical: a cinema and library on Culture Square, an outdoor pool, a golf course and forest trails north of town. Our homes are not in the centre. They sit in a tight cluster roughly 8 to 9 km west-south-west of it, so expect to drive even for bread. Most are houses for around six, nearly all with a fireplace and a minority with a sauna. Evenings are your own terrace or fire, with the odd jazz or comedy night at the folk high school. Out of season it is dark and very quiet.

When to go to Toftlund

In spring and autumn the sort sol, huge starling flocks, gather shortly after sunset over the marshes near Tønder and Ribe. The Tønder Festival of folk music runs every August. In summer you will be driving to the coast with everyone else. Out of season the town goes very quiet, and a fireplace week with forest walks north of town suits it best.
