Description

Small town at the end of Augustenborg Fjord with a commercial harbor and marina.

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach is only recommended during the day due to the unlit approach. On the last 3 nm, a well buoyed channel with a target depth of 3 m leads to the harbor.

Berths

In the marina with a water depth of 2 - 2.5 m, the bridgeheads also offer good berths. Large yachts can also moor at the Handelskai at a water depth of 2.8 m.

Beware, there are significant shallow depths of 1.5 m in the eastern part of the harbor from jetty B.

Anchoring: There is good anchorage in many places in Augustenborg Fjord, especially on the eastern shore at Egen Næs or in Sebbelev Nor. However, approaching the anchorages requires caution and an echo sounder.

Surroundings

Good supply options are available (including fuel).

The Dukes of Augustenborg would probably no longer like the sight of their town from the sea today, as the huge granary is not exactly a thing of beauty. The dukes, who shaped the life of the small town for more than 200 years, left the 3,000 inhabitants something more uplifting: Augustenborg Castle. Unfortunately, the former rococo princely residence cannot be visited from the inside, but you can still take a stroll in the castle park of today's hospital. In the beautiful park with its centuries-old trees, it is clear that Hans Christian Andersen (see also Odense) was inspired to write many of his fairy tales and poems there. The lime tree under which he is said to have particularly enjoyed sitting still stands there. The ducal family was a generous patron of Andersen, the great poet Friedrich Schiller and many of his contemporaries. Only the neoclassical chapel with its remarkable rococo pulpit and marble baptismal font can be seen in the castle. The baptismal font was a gift from Russian Tsar Alexander 1 in 1807.

The history of the castle and the dukes is a particularly eventful one. Augustenborg was founded by Duke Ernst Günther and named after his wife, Duchess Augusta von Glücksburg. Originally, the small, insignificant village is said to have been called Stavnsbøl. The first castle was built around 1651 and burned down. Duke Friederich 1 built the castle, which can still be seen today, around 1770.

The splendid court life in the Augustenborg residence came to an abrupt end when fighting broke out between the Danes and Prussians over Schleswig. During the war of 1864, the palace served as a military hospital. The Duke, who was on the German side, was forced to leave the princely seat, but claimed the throne again after the Prussian victory.

Bismarck, however, refused the conquered provinces to the Augustenborgian. However, the marriage of Duke Friederich VIII's daughter, Auguste Viktoria, to the German Emperor was probably a late consolation for this loss. In the meantime, the Germans turned the castle into barracks. Around the turn of the century, it then served as a teacher's college.

Other gems of the well-kept little town, which is characterized by the neoclassical architectural style, are the rococo houses of the former court servants. The prosperity of the town can generally be traced back to the nobility and their court. The lavish princely life required not only servants and administrators but also craftsmen who settled near the castle. The listed buildings include the old vicarage (1776) on Schlossweg. The Augustenborg parlor in Storegade is a historical museum and also functions as a tourist information office.

Among the sights, the replica of a Viking trading ship called "Sebbe Als" will be of particular interest to pleasure boaters. In winter, it is moored in a naust on the fjord, a replica of a Viking-era dwelling and boathouse.

The sport of wrestling, which is still popular in Denmark, is said to have originated in Augustenborg. Traditionally, a four-day ring riding festival is held every year on the third weekend in June.

If you want to look out over Alsen and enjoy a panoramic view as far as Ærø and Fyn, we recommend a trip to the 81-metre-high Høgebjerg, the highest point on the island of Als. A small local history museum has been set up at Storgade 28.

Für Gastlieger nur die alten Sanitäranlagen. Sie funktionieren sind aber in die Jahre gekommenen. 5 Kronen Münze für 10min duschen. Strom kostet extra. Ansonsten gibt es hier nicht viel. Für eine Nacht okay...

ACHTUNG MINDERTIEFEN. Einlaufend ab dem dritten Steg von Westen aus gesehen beträgt die Wassertiefe deutlich weniger als 2.5m. Der Hafenmeister erklärte uns, dass im östlichen Teil des Hafens ( ab Brücke B) durch Verschlickung teilweise weniger als 1,5m Tiefe besteht und dass die Seekarten das seit langem falsch angeben. Im westlichen Teil wurde hingegen auf 3m ausgebaggert. Wir saßen an Brücke B mit 1,80 Tiefgang auf Grund obwohl der NV Hafenlotse dort 2.5m Wassertiefe ausweist

Ruhiger Hafen, sehe freundlicher Hafenmeister, der einem auch beim Dänischlernen behilflich ist. Sehr saubere und gut unterhaltene Sanitäranlagen. Alle relevanten Versorgungsmöglichkeiten vor Ort, der nächste SuperBrugesen ist 10 min Fußweg entfernt. Bei Westwind (haben wir gerade) ist es etwa unruhig, aber nicht störend. Also Alles in Allem eine Empfehlung wert.

Ganz ganz ruhiger Hafen. Ein Platz zum ausschlafen und Stille genießen. Ein Wegweiser an den einzelnen Brückenenden weisen einem von Seeseite die richtige Gasse für die eigene Bootslänge zu. Bei Booten unter 8m ist es zu empfehlen eine Gasse früher zu wählen, da sonst die Box evtl. zu kurz ist. Teilweise gibt es neben Dalben auch feste Fingerstege. Die sanitären Anlagen sind gut und sauber, allerdings sehr weit entfernt. Versorgung ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Eine Empfehlung für den Spar können wir nicht aussprechen. Unserer Meinung nach lohnt sich der weitere Weg zum Nord-östlich gelegenen gut sortierten Broaser. Östlich gibt es noch einen Netto. Der Ort selber stellt nichts außergewöhnliches dar. Das Schloss und die Anlage ist nett anziehen.
