Rosenkrans is one of Denmark's most curious places: a tiny border village in the Tønder marshland where the frontier between Denmark and Germany runs straight down the middle of the road. Sunken stone slabs set into the asphalt mark the line, letting you stand with one foot in each country. Following the 1920 border settlement, part of the hamlet became Danish and joined Rudbøl in Højer parish, while the rest remained in South Schleswig. The surrounding landscape is pure Wadden Sea polder — flat, wide and green, ribboned with dikes and drainage ditches near the Vidå river and Rudbøl Lake. For centuries the community was bilingual, its people speaking both South Jutlandic and German. Quiet and windswept, Rosenkrans rewards travellers who enjoy history you can literally walk across, cycling routes through the marsh, and the vast skies of Denmark's far southwest.
