Marzipan, Kiel Sprat and Fine Spirits: Delicious Souvenirs
Schleswig-Holstein is a gourmet region. Many of the local delicacies fit nicely into your suitcase or can be ordered from home.
Sweets
Sweet-tooths need go no further than the famous Lübeck marzipan (www.niederegger.de/en) the chocolate "Kiel sprat" or a handmade chocolate specialty from the 'Sylter Schokoladenmanufaktur' (www.cafe-wien-sylt.de) - a souvenir that's not to be missed!
Gold of the seas
During your visit to Schleswig-Holstein, you can also order fine fish and crustaceans to be delivered to you when you get home – a service offered by Gosch and Dittmeyer’s Oyster Company on Sylt (www.sylter-royal.de).
Special liqeurs
You will find everything from bitter herbal digestifs to spirits made using old family recipes at the 'Likörfabrik E. Dreckmann' in the Duchy of Lauenburg (www.schnapsfabrik.com).
The 'Rose City' of Eutin produces a fine, unique liqueur distilled from rose petals (www.obstbraende.eu), and in Flensburg, holiday makers can taste rum stored in wooden barrels before buying some to take home (www.flensburg-tourismus.de).
