Herald at the Tilting procession<br />

Dybbøl Mill<br />

Cosy evening at the harbour in Sønderborg<br />

tilting-at-the-ring is on, you can participate<br />

in a special, combined town<br />

and tilting-at-the-ring tour. Read<br />

more on p. 63.<br />

If you are a group, please contact<br />

Meeting Sønderborg about our<br />

special guided tours - for instance of<br />

Sønderborg Castle. See p. 110.<br />

Experience Sønderborg on your<br />

own by the help of the leaflet about<br />

the ‘heart path,’ that is available from<br />

the tourist office. The 5 km long path<br />

in the heart of Sønderborg town<br />

leads through parks and neighbourhoods<br />

from different periods and<br />

past sculptures in many styles.<br />

Dybbøl Mill at the Dybbøl Entrenchments<br />

became a symbol of Danish<br />

bravery in the war of 1864. You can<br />

read more about the Battle at Dybbøl<br />

and the year 1864 on p. 22-23.<br />

In Ulkebøl Church there is a ’Dannebrog’<br />

(the Danish flag) that ‘defended’<br />

Danishness when the Prussians<br />

conquered the island Als in 1864. The<br />

pastor would not obey an order to<br />

take down the flag, so the soldiers<br />

shot at it and stepped on it. The pastor<br />

moved to Zealand and took the<br />

flag with him. After the Reunification<br />

in 1920 the flag was brought back to<br />

the church, where it can still be seen.<br />

If you like shopping, there is ample<br />

opportunity for this in the many<br />

shops in town. Enjoy a walk in the<br />

pleasant pedestrian street and have<br />

a well-deserved break in one of the<br />

cafés. Scan the QR-code on this page<br />

and find the events that are on in<br />

town centre.<br />

On the fringe of town is Center Øst<br />

with all its special shops and everyday<br />

grocery shops.<br />

In October 2013 the new shopping<br />

mall ’Borgen’ opens in the center<br />

of the town. The mall has up to 70<br />

shops.<br />
