Without a sign, you wouldn't notice that you're walking into another country... It's nice how easy this can be these days.

This hall church was built in the early 13th century. It consists of a plastered nave and a neo-Romanesque brick church tower to the west, topped with a pointed spire, added in 1911. The nave was extended eastward in 1767/68 after the choir was demolished. The church's furnishings include a winged altarpiece built in the early 16th century. The altar has a late Gothic altarpiece with a richly figurative relief of a crucifixion scene (source: Wikipedia).

The Rosenkranz - Rudbøl border crossing is one of the craziest border crossings between Germany and Denmark. It probably has the most unusual border line. The border between Germany and Denmark runs for a length of around 130 metres in the middle of the narrow road and also right through the Ruttebüller Lake. If you walk along this road, you will see the border stones in the asphalt. So Germany is on the eastern side, Denmark on the western side. The most likely explanation for this border line is probably in the lake. Half of it should belong to both countries in order to offer fishermen and reed cutters on both sides the same opportunities. The western Koog, however, should definitely be given to Denmark. It was agreed that the route should be in the middle of the dike crest towards the Koog and the road runs exactly over the dike crest. Every 10 years, and always when the year ends with a "...4", a delegation from both countries inspects the correct position of the border markers. In this case, that means that Danes and Germans go out on the water in a boat and check the border buoy on the lake and replace it if necessary. From the border crossing, a bridge leads over the Vidå to Rudbøl. Small cafes and restaurants, a fairly large and beautifully located campsite and a small, cozy hostel underline the inviting charm of this community. https://weites.land/grenzuebergang-rosenkranz-rudbol-grenzroute-daenemark-deutschland/
