Årøsund
The harbour town of Årøsund
The small harbour town of Årøsund is the only place on the Lillebælt where fish is still imported for sale at the fish market in Hvidesande. From Årøsund, caviar is exported to countries such as Japan, the USA and Australia. Next door to the fish factory is the old boat building, which keeps the old craft traditions alive.
Customers and other interested parties are welcome to look over the boatbuilders' shoulders. At the harbour you will also find Årøsund Badehotel - a beautiful building from the 1930s. Restaurant Skipperstuen is located on the ground floor of Årøsund Badehotel, a few metres from the beach, and is open most of the year.

Gram castle
13th century castle in Gram
Gram is one of the oldest towns in Southern Jutland and was founded around the same time as Haderslev. In Gram you can visit Gram Castle. The castle dates back to the 13th century and has been a power factor in the whole area throughout history. The castle has belonged to the Schack family since the 1600s, but was given a new owner years ago and has undergone a thorough restoration.
The beautiful castle park is also worth a visit. There are guided tours of the castle all year round and every Friday there is a Ghost Walk - you might meet the former Countess who is said to walk again in the castle.
