Sønderstrand Aabenraa
Sønderstrand hugs the edge of Aabenraa Fjord, where the Baltic laps gently at a wide, pebbly shore and wooden piers stretch into water the color of pewter. Locals cycle in after work, children wade barefoot through the shallows, and the smell of grilled pølser drifts from the nearby kiosks.
