Getting There
-
Local bus from central Sønderborg
From central Sønderborg, use a local city bus service toward the eastern suburbs; typical journeys to the Vollerup area take about 10–20 minutes depending on route and stops. Buses usually run at least once an hour during the day on weekdays, with reduced frequency in the evenings and at weekends. Expect a single adult ticket to cost in the region of 20–30 DKK within the local zone. Check the latest timetable and route number on regional public transport information before travelling, and be aware that late-night services may be limited.
-
Taxi from Sønderborg centre or station
Taxis from Sønderborg’s central area or the train station to the hostel’s address on Mommarkvej typically take around 8–15 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day. Fares within the town area generally start with a base charge and then increase per kilometre; for this short suburban trip you can usually expect to pay roughly 120–180 DKK in total, with higher prices in the evening or on Sundays. Taxis can be pre-booked or found at designated ranks near the station and central squares, and are a convenient option if you are arriving with luggage or outside regular bus hours.
-
Cycling from Sønderborg town
Sønderborg and the surrounding parts of Als Island are well-suited to cycling, with generally flat terrain and a mix of cycle paths and quieter roads. From the town centre to Vollerup the ride typically takes 20–35 minutes at an easy pace, depending on your exact starting point and chosen route. This option is best for those comfortable sharing some stretches with local traffic and riding in mixed weather. There is usually no specific fee for bringing your own bicycle, and combining cycling with local buses is sometimes possible, subject to space and operator rules.

A green corner on Sønderborg’s edge
Danhostel Sønderborg Vollerup sits in the small suburb of Vollerup, a semi-rural pocket on the eastern edge of Sønderborg where fields and low-rise housing meet light industry. Here, the pace is quiet and local: you wake to birdsong more often than traffic, and from the hostel grounds it is a short stroll to residential streets, open spaces and the broader landscapes of Als. The setting gives you quick access to the town’s museums and harbour, yet feels distinctly more village than city. The property itself spreads across several low buildings framed by lawns, hedges and trees. Paths weave between accommodation blocks, play zones and recreation areas, so the whole place feels like a compact campus designed for outdoor living in good weather. In summer, much of hostel life flows outside, with guests gravitating to picnic tables, benches and sunny corners between excursions into Sønderborg and the wider region.Simple rooms and sociable common areas
Inside, rooms are straightforward and functional, with bunk beds or simple twin arrangements typical of Danish hostels. Décor tends to the practical rather than luxurious: think clean lines, light colours and durable materials rather than designer finishes. Many units share bathrooms along the corridor, while some family rooms and newer sections offer private facilities, catering to both budget-conscious solo travellers and small groups. Common areas are the social heart. A dining room and lounge-style spaces give you somewhere to linger over breakfast, plan the day or chat with fellow guests. Self-catering facilities or guest kitchens, where provided, are popular with families and student groups looking to keep costs down. Notice boards highlight local activities around Sønderborg, including visits to castles, coastal walks and cultural sites, making the hostel an informal information hub as well as a place to sleep.Playgrounds, mini-golf and outdoor fun
Beyond the buildings, the grounds are laid out with play and leisure in mind. A dedicated playground area lets younger children burn off energy on swings, slides and climbing frames, while open lawns invite impromptu ball games. The on-site miniature golf course adds a low-key holiday touch, giving families and groups an easy, screen-free activity right at their doorstep without needing to leave the property. Scattered seating areas and picnic tables encourage outdoor picnics whenever the weather cooperates. On long summer evenings, it is common to see people lingering outside with simple meals or card games, using the hostel as a relaxed base between day trips. The spacious layout also benefits school classes and sports teams, who can spread out without feeling cramped.Gateway to Als Island’s history and coastline
From Vollerup, Sønderborg’s broader appeal is within easy reach. The town centre, with its waterfront dominated by Sønderborg Castle, lies a short journey away, as do the promenades along Alssund and the cultural venues clustered by the harbour. To the northeast, the island reveals a patchwork of small villages, forested stretches and gentle coastline, including historic sites such as Augustenborg and scenic walking routes. Being slightly removed from the core of town has advantages: after a day exploring battlefields, royal residences or seaside paths, returning to Vollerup brings you back to a calmer, residential environment. For travellers who value both access to attractions and a quieter night’s sleep, this balance is a defining feature of a stay here.Who this hostel suits best
Danhostel Sønderborg Vollerup particularly suits families with children, school groups, and budget-minded travellers seeking a sociable base rather than a high-end hotel. The blend of outdoor facilities, shared spaces and straightforward rooms supports a community feel, where meeting others is easy but private corners are still available when you want them. It also works well for cyclists and active visitors using Sønderborg as a springboard for exploring Als and the surrounding region. With its mix of greenery, play areas and practical amenities, the hostel offers a comfortable, unfussy introduction to everyday life on the outskirts of a historic Danish town.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
