RouteXpert Review We leave from the campsite “Nordsee” in Cuxhaven and drive over provincial roads through Germany and Denmark to the seaside resort of Sønderby in Denmark.
At Wischafen we cross the river Elbe with the ferry to Glückstadt. The crossing takes about 25 minutes and there is a ferry every 30 minutes. In the summer it can be very busy, so expect waiting times.
After the crossing we drive on back roads along the river Stör, every now and then there are sections with a few nice bends.
At Embüren we turn onto the N77 and drive via Rendsburg, Schleswig and Flensburg towards Denmark. Just before Schleswig you can enjoy a delicious lunch at Pizzeria Solemia in Jagel.
Once we have crossed the border we drive along the Flensborg Fjord, a beautiful drive with a wonderful panorama, it is definitely worth stopping to take some pictures and enjoy the beautiful view over the bay.
After about 1 hour drive we reach the town of Sønderborg, a nice town to stop for a short break and some sightseeing, there are several cafes, restaurants and you can visit the Sønderborg Castle.
Sønderborg Castle one of the most iconic castles in Southern Denmark. The castle, which is now a museum, shows the history of Sønderborg, the border area and the Schleswig-Holstein region that the Danes lost to the Germans in the 19th century.
End point for today is the beach camping in the seaside resort Sønderby. A simple camping with a snack bar/restaurant, shop and a beautiful beach on the Fjord.
