Bolderslev: Forests, Runestone and Churches

If you would like to combine nature, culture and an active pursuit, Bolderslev can be viewed from several perspectives. The protected forests, the Bjolderupstenen runestone, the churches in the surrounding area and a disc golf course each add a different accent. This selection is complemented by several beaches in the wider regional area.

Bolderslev og Uge Skove: Nature between protection and diversity

An important natural feature is Bolderslev og Uge Skove. The forests have been protected by a decision of the Nature Complaints Board dated 30 September 1999 and cover an area of 156.6 ha. At the same time, they are part of an originally continuous deciduous forest area near Aabenraa. This combination of protected status, a larger forest area and an established landscape structure makes the forests a distinct topic for anyone wishing to take a closer look at the natural character of a region. For nature enthusiasts, the forest in Bolderslev can be considered as a separate day-trip element alongside the cultural-historical destinations and the disc golf course.

The plant life is also remarkably diverse: Bolderslev og Uge Skove are home to around 300 different trees and herbs, including several species that are rare in Denmark. This gives nature enthusiasts a specific reason to include the landscape in their travel considerations not only as a forest area, but also from the perspective of its biodiversity. The figure is deliberately given as an approximate magnitude.

Bjolderupstenen and the Churches

The cultural-historical side includes Bjolderupstenen. The runestone commemorates the Urne family, dates from around the year 1200 and is made of coarse-grained reddish granite. Its age, dedication and material give the stone a clearly defined profile that differs from the natural themes of the forests. The individual stone thus provides a clear cultural-historical focus alongside the natural themes of the forests.

Ensted Kirke is located in the vicinity of Bolderslev. When planning a visit to Bjolderup Kirke, it is important to note that it is closed due to mould contamination. Regardless, the church has a 38 m-high tower that is visible across large parts of the parish.

An Active Perspective: Disc Golf

Those who would also like to include physical activity alongside nature and cultural themes will find a separate point of interest at Bolderslev Disc Golfbane. The course has 9 baskets, each with 2 tee positions. The course in Bolderslev therefore offers its own active element, which can be taken into account in planning alongside nature and cultural themes. For active travellers, the facility in Bolderslev thus remains recognisable as a separate item on the itinerary.

Beaches in the Wider Regional Area

Sønderhav Strand, Kollund Strand and Diernæs Strand are located in the wider regional area of Bolderslev. If you would like to include different landscape impressions in your trip, you can consider these beach destinations as regional reference points alongside the forests, churches and runestone.

For further orientation, you can also find Kravlund, Aabenraa, Padborg, Bylderup-Bov, Felsted, Søttrup, Rødekro and Varnæs.
