Bolderslev: Forests, Runestone and Disc Golf

Bolderslev offers several different reasons to visit: protected forests with diverse plant life, a runestone commemorating the past, and a disc golf course with a clearly defined layout. You can plan your holiday around what interests you and your fellow travellers—nature, cultural history or an active pursuit. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first weigh up these options rather than reducing the destination to just one holiday theme.

Protected forests and diverse plant life

The Bolderslev and Uge Forests cover 156.6 hectares and are part of what was originally a continuous broadleaf forest near Aabenraa. They have been protected since a decision by the Nature Complaints Board on 30 September 1999. For travellers interested in nature, the area is not the only thing that matters: the history of the landscape and its protected status are also part of the story.

The forests are home to around 300 different trees and herbs, including several species that are rare in Denmark. Their diversity and rare species make the plant life a focus in its own right. For families interested in nature, trees, herbs and rare species offer concrete starting points for conversations about plant diversity. Alongside the forest as a landscape, its botanical character is also in the spotlight.

A runestone commemorating the past

The Bjolderup Stone offers a glimpse into cultural history. The runestone commemorates the Urne family, dates from around 1200 and is made of coarse-grained, reddish granite. These features each add a different dimension: the dedication links the stone to a specific commemoration, its approximate date places it in time, and the material gives it a vivid physical description. For travellers interested in history as well, this single memorial stands alongside the broader nature theme.

Disc golf as an active alternative

The Bolderslev Disc Golf Course adds an active pursuit to the nature and culture themes. It has nine baskets, each with two tee positions. Its focus is clearly different from the plant diversity of the forests and the commemorative character of the Bjolderup Stone: here, the emphasis is on a game with a specifically described layout. If you would like to include exercise in your holiday plans, this offers a different focus from natural history or cultural history.

Choose the right focus for your holiday

When looking for a holiday apartment in Bolderslev, these differences can help you decide. First, consider whether you would prefer to focus on nature, cultural history or an active pursuit. When travelling with children or several generations, it helps to discuss different preferences in advance and choose a focus everyone can enjoy.
