What is in Germany south of Tønder Denmark?
I'm planning four nights in Southern Jutland. I had been planning to base
myself in Tønder. I would have three full days for bicycle excursions. If in Tønder I could go North, West, and into Germany. But just what is in Germany south of Tønder? (I have no Germany guide book.) If nothing exciting (I like old towns and pretty countryside) I could instead stay in Ribe. Being bigger Ribe does have the advantage of more to see when I'm not out on a bicycle day trip. Don www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |

But I can't tell just what there is within bicycling distance of Tønder. (The site is promoting the entire region.) With the long days of June I can do a 100 km trip. Usually they are shorter, depending on my stops along the way. The PDF brochure does show a bicycle route coming down from Denmark. But it lacks any distances, so I have no idea how much of it could be in a day trip. As for the mud flats. Is this different from what I would find along the North Sea in Denmark?

Here is a suggestion for a day trip (a long one!), provided you are basing yourself in Tønder: Bike to the island of Sylt (German ) . From List at northern end of the island take the the 1 hour ferry ride north to Rømø (Denmark). From Romo it will be something like 50 kms back to Tønder.

Skip Germany as that part of Germany is boring (north Lübeck and Hamburg) and save the time for the more interesting Danish towns. Skipping Germany I see three trips I could make: 1-Ribe 2-Mødeltønder, Højer, Rømø 3-Padborg, Gråsten, Sønderborg, Als Though the last one may be overly ambitious. Basing myself in Tønder is dependent on being able to rent a bicycle in Tønder. I've e-mailed Hostrups Hotel asking if they rent, or if someplace in town does.

Why not get the bus/train one way. Takes 2 hours every two hours. Carriage of bikes possible on the bus, I had no idea that one could take a bike on a bus! Not here in the US. It's quite common in parts of Europe, though some places have some peak restrictions. reservation required on the train. The map in my Lonely Planet shows no train tracks between Tønder and Tinglev. That bit's the bus. (there is a railway but it's closed) tim |
