Relax with a Danish holiday home in Alsen
The island of Alsen is one of Denmark's best kept secrets and a holiday home in the region will give you an authentic taste of southern Danish hospitality. A small island of only 321 km², Alsen has a rich history. Once part of German territory, the island's unique language and culture, alongside its beautiful landscape of forests, fields and seascapes, is best experienced with a holiday rental.
Greater Alsen
Alsen is home to Denmark's largest industrial company, Danfoss, which opened the Danfoss Universe Theme Park in 2005. The park, which is situated in Nordborg and encompasses a large area of fields and forrests, provides the perfect opportunity for children to discover the wonders of science in a entertaining and educational way. A holiday house or holiday rental in the area will give families access to an extensive network of forest trails and beaches. Book a holiday home in Alsen and enjoy a summer evening with a traditional Danish meal at one the restaurants situated along the shore.
Sønderborg
Alsen's largest city, Sønderborg, stretches over both mainland Jutland and the island and is connected by two bridges. A holiday house in the area or a holiday apartment by the harbour puts you in perfect proximity to the Alsen countryside as well as the convenient transport connections running from Sønderborg. Sønderborg harbour is a picturesque location in which to enjoy an afternoon drink and offers a fine view Sønderborg Castle, which is now a museum dedicated to local culture and history and open all year round. Amongst the island's other notable buildings, the nearby Sandbjerg Estate comprises a two-storey Rococo mansion completed in 1788 set amidst extensive grounds. A holiday rental on the island of Alsen makes for a truly relaxing holiday away from the stresses of city life. Whether you rent a holiday apartment in the city of Sønderborg or opt for a holiday house in the extensive countryside around Nordborg, you will be able to experience the calm lifestyle of this Danish region and its beautiful landscape.
