What is in Germany south of Tønder Denmark?
I'm planning four nights in Southern Jutland. I had been planning to base
myself in Tønder. I would have three full days for bicycle excursions. If
in Tønder I could go North, West, and into Germany. But just what is in
Germany south of Tønder? (I have no Germany guide book.) If nothing
exciting (I like old towns and pretty countryside) I could instead stay in
Ribe. Being bigger Ribe does have the advantage of more to see when I'm not
out on a bicycle day trip.

Border stores. If you have never been in a border store, you can go south of
the border and visit Calle. http://www.calle.dk/

Thanks. But I can't tell just what there is within bicycling distance of
Tønder. (The site is promoting the entire region.) With the long days of
June I can do a 100 km trip. Usually they are shorter, depending on my
stops along the way.
The PDF brochure does show a bicycle route coming down from Denmark. But it
lacks any distances, so I have no idea how much of it could be in a day
trip.
As for the mud flats. Is this different from what I would find along the
North Sea in Denmark?

I guess then I'll have to put some jet engines on the bicycle so I can get
to all of it and back on the same day trip.

Here is a suggestion for a day trip (a long one!), provided you are
basing yourself in Tønder:
Bike to the island of Sylt (German ) . From List at northern end of
the island take the the 1 hour ferry ride north to Rømø (Denmark).
From Romo it will be something like 50 kms back to Tønder.

Re: What is in Germany south of Tønder Denmark?
The islands of Sylt and Foehr are great--and great for bicycling. You might
easily be able to bike to Dagebull, take the ferry over to Foehr, and then
ride around the coast (counter-clockwise is nice). However the causeway to
Sylt is only traversable by train, so you'd have to bike to a town with a
train connection to Westerland, and then explore the towns and dunes from
there. Since you can take bikes on regional trains, you might consider
getting a Schleswig-Holstein Karte for the day and training it to the Baltic
and biking down the coast to Luebeck. The area around Ploen is also
beautiful (Swiss Holstein) with lakes. The city of Kiel makes a nice stop
along the way too. If you combine train and bike, and a hiking/biking map
plus a guide to the area, you'll have lots of beautiful (and flat biking!)
options.

Skip Germany as that part of Germany is boring (north Lübeck and Hamburg)
and save the time for the more interesting Danish towns.

It's German mud. It's probably got all sorts of therapeutic properties
not found in Danish and Dutch mud.

Skipping Germany I see three trips I could make:
1-Ribe
2-Mødeltønder, Højer, Rømø
3-Padborg, Gråsten, Sønderborg, Als
Though the last one may be overly ambitious. Basing myself in Tønder is
dependent on being able to rent a bicycle in Tønder. I've e-mailed Hostrups
Hotel asking if they rent, or if someplace in town does.

Sønderborg and Als a very nice area, but its 65 km from Tønder.
