Welcome to Germany's True North
Welcome!
This is the official tourism-website of Germany’s True North.
High up in the north of Germany, on the border with Denmark, lies the self-proclaimed “most beautiful federal state in the world”: Schleswig-Holstein, hemmed in by the rough North Sea on one side and the gentler Baltic Sea on the other. The green land between the coasts is flat and fertile. The wind here is simply everywhere, sometimes just a little bit, a gentle breeze, sometimes a fresh gust and often a full-on storm. The wind ensures that it never gets too warm and is ideal for taking a deep breath and clearing your head.
Be inspired for a spring vacation in Schleswig-Holstein. Exciting cycle tours, picturesque hiking trails, idyllic country life and untouched nature are just a selection of the attractions that await you here.
Experience authentic country life between the North Sea and Baltic Sea. Cozy vacation farms offer family time, animal experiences and tranquility in nature. Relax in comfortable accommodation and enjoy unforgettable moments.
Enjoy the real north whatever the weather! Discover exciting indoor activities with our bad weather tips and make your vacation in Schleswig-Holstein an unforgettable experience - even in rain and storms.
Whether it's sunny beach days in summer, colorful autumn landscapes, atmospheric winter markets or the awakening of nature in spring - plan your vacation for the next season.
Experience the diversity of the north on idyllic waterways such as the Eider, Treene and Sorge. Whether a day trip or a tour lasting several days - discover untouched nature and charming places from the water.
