Sonderborg Travel Guide

Sonderborg is an attractive and the largest town of about 30,000 inhabitants on the island of Als, in the South-east of Jutland, near the German border. Nowadays Als is connected to the mainland by bridges, but to many visitors it is still a green holiday island, with a coastline that is perfect for swimming, sailing, and angling. Leisure wise you can almost do anything from diving to gliding.

The city has a friendly, quiet atmosphere, but because of the large student population, the social life in Sonderborg is lively.

In the Sonderborg region, there are some 300 manufacturing industries. Most of them are small or medium-sized companies, involved in electronics, metalworking, and the production of high technology communication equipment. Denmark's largest industrial concern, the Danfoss Corporation, with 20,000 employees, also has its headquarters near Sonderborg.
