Border crossing at Kollund Forest

Highlight • Structure

Starting at the end of the brass yard at the Kupfermühle, a somewhat hidden path that leads to the southeast leads to the German / Danish border, which is only about 50 meters away, and after crossing it directly to the Gendarmstien. From there you can use a number of, especially sparsely populated hiking trails along the Danish side of the Flensburg Fjord for beautiful walks.

Abraham's Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Abrahams Kilde (Abraham's Spring) is a spring near Kupfermühle, often mentioned in connection with hikes such as the Gendarmenstieg trail.

Here is the most important information:

Location: It is located near Kupfermühle, on the German-Danish border, and lies along hiking trails.

Historical background of the name: The name has no direct biblical origin. It was given to a courtier of the Danish King Christian IV, who graciously provided the king with water during a rest stop there.

Special feature: It is a fast-flowing spring with clear water, sometimes also referred to as the iron-rich "Abraham Spring."

Hiking destination: There is a bench at the spring, inviting hikers to linger and listen. The region is known for its glacial landscape features, such as the Tunnel Valley.
