Holiday activities

If you are up for new experiences during your holiday, we are happy to welcome you inside the History Center Dybbøl Banke, where there are many exciting extra holiday activities for children and adults. Here you can, among other things, meet the soldier from 1864 in the solid blockhouse and see what he has in his knapsack. Lie down in the large straw beds of the soldiers barracks and listen to an eyewitness account from a soldier who was in the war. Our holiday activities also include exciting weapon stories. But remember to cover your ears when we shoot with the old muzzleloader rifles!
