Brodersby: Local History, Swimming Spots and Schönhagen

The municipality of Brodersby comprises the village of Brodersby and the coastal resort of Schönhagen. Here, your trip can combine activities by the water with longer hikes and local history.

Swimming, Walking and Hiking

In Schönhagen, the sandy beach and cliff offer opportunities for swimming and walking. The Brodersby-Burg swimming spot offers something different: its water is shallow and suitable for families. The stated features therefore differ when choosing between these waterside locations: in Schönhagen, swimming and walks along the beach or cliff go hand in hand; at Brodersby-Burg, the shallow water is the defining feature.

The longer local hikes, the Royum Loop and Goltoft Loop, are suited to more ambitious hikers. If you are planning a longer tour instead of a walk along the beach or cliff, the two loops offer another way to spend time outdoors.

Village Museum and Local History

The Brodersby Village Museum is interactive and explores rural life and work in the past century. It covers two floors and 450 square metres. The exhibits are arranged by theme, ranging from a classroom and workshops to a blacksmith’s shop and post office, as well as a dentist’s office and hairdresser. The exhibition thus brings together education, crafts, postal services and personal services.

A bee museum is located right next to the village museum; the building also houses a local archive with historical documents. These add the subjects of beekeeping and historical records. Spinning, weaving, woodturning and brush-making are on the programme for Craftspeople’s Day. Check the specific event dates before your trip, as individual dates may change.

St Andrew’s Church probably dates from the 12th century and retains its original Romanesque floor plan. Its building history thus combines a cautious estimate of its date with a surviving architectural feature.

Landscape Along the Schlei and Noor

Kirchberg hill above the Brodersby Noor offers panoramic views of the local landscape. The municipality of Brodersby-Goltoft lies directly on the Schlei in a varied landscape; the Schlei associated with Brodersby is designated as a nature park. The view from Kirchberg and Brodersby-Goltoft’s location on the Schlei thus describe different aspects of the landscape.

Getting Your Bearings and Excursions

Excursion boats carrying passengers depart from the landing stage in nearby Missunde. Check schedules and services in advance, as excursion services and times may change. A tourist information point is located in the Markt-Treff. If you plan to use it to find your bearings, check the latest service information beforehand.

The Geeler Kroog in Brodersby/Geel is a guesthouse, village inn and café. If you are considering the guesthouse as a place to stay, check which services are currently available before your trip.
