Royal privileged inn in Southern Jutland.

Bov Kro is situated only a few kilometres from the Danish-German border and is therefore a fine starting point for a tour in the old border country, including visits to Dybbøl Mill, Gråsten Castle or Sønderborg Castle. It is only a few minutes by car to Flensburg, and the many border shops are almost just around the corner. If you feel like a tour on foot, it is possible to follow the Gendarme Trail along Flensburg Fjord, and for the guests who are interested in history there is only 3 km to the Frøslev Camp, which was built by the German occupation power during World War II. The experience park Danfoss Universe on Als is also within reach.

The old traditions are still upheld in the restaurant of the inn, where it is possible to enjoy a good inn meal at a reasonable price and naturally well-made open faced sandwiches – for instance a slice of rye bread with old cheese and jelly. But at the same time, the skilled chef has created an exciting menu card with emphasis on fresh ingredients and good taste experiences.

Traditional and new Nordic gastronomic experiences

The history of Bov Kro is also the history of the ancient Cattle Road Hærvejen down through Jutland from Viborg to Slesvig. When the cattle drovers in older days followed the Cattle Road and came with their large herds of cattle down to the markets in Holstein, they needed a rest. Already in 1566, Bov Kro got a royal license – as one of the very first inns in Denmark. This meant that the inn owner had to offer an overnight stay for the travellers, and in return, he was granted a royal monopoly of producing aquavit and brewing beer.

Today the bellowing of the oxen has ceased a long time ago, but the South Jutland hospitality has remained in Bov Kro. After a number of rebuildings and extensions, the present inn combines the historical atmosphere with modern conveniences in a perfect way.

Bov Kro has 17 recently renovated rooms with private bath/toilet and flat-screen TV. The cosy rooms of the inn are well suited for both small and large parties, for instance in the garden room or in the room with an open fireplace.
