How far is the drive to Augustenborg from the Netherlands?

From Utrecht, it is approximately 600 kilometers of driving, which amounts to about 6 to 7 hours of travel time. This makes it an ideal destination for a car holiday without too many long travel days.

Can I pay with euros in Augustenborg?

In Denmark, you pay with the Danish Krone (DKK). Although you can pay with euros in many tourist places, the exchange rate is often unfavorable. However, debit card payments are possible almost everywhere, even for the smallest amounts.

Is Augustenborg castle open to the public?

The castle church and the surrounding gardens (the sculpture park) are accessible for free daily. The main building of the castle currently houses government agencies and is therefore limited in its interior viewing, but the exterior is well worth a photo!

What is the best time to travel for a holiday on the island of Als?

The summer months (June through August) offer the best weather for beach and water sports activities. For peace seekers and hikers, May and September are very attractive due to the mild temperatures and the beautiful blossoms or autumn colors.

Are there toll roads on the way to Augustenborg?

If you drive through Germany to Southern Denmark, you will not encounter any toll roads. Only if you want to go further into Denmark (towards Copenhagen), will you have to deal with the toll for the Great Belt Bridge.

Whether you choose an active week in nature or a relaxing last minute holiday to Augustenborg, this piece of Denmark will surprise you. Wait no longer and secure the most beautiful spot on the island of Als.
