Kongeådalen - Københoved Skovvej

Fantastic views of Kongådalen - from the south - can be found at the top of Københoved Skovvej. 

You have to drive, cycle or walk off along Københoved Skovvej from Københoved towards Foldingbro - and after a sharp bend it soon goes briskly downhill (a little after the entrance to no. 2). Just after the top of the hill, you get a 180 degree view of the Kongeå valley. If you look closely just north - let your eyes follow the asphalt road and over towards the northern side of the river valley - there is a distinctive white building. It is the manor house Sønderskov. The historical quirk here is that north of the river there were lords and their tenant farmers in Denmark. And the place where you stand on Københoved Skovvej - it was Schleswig - without lords, copyholders or compulsory labour. And thus the basis for a completely different life and other prosperity.
