Inland

Wind force 5, fresh wind, in the middle of Schleswig-Holstein. It smells of fertile earth, small streams, big rivers, of damp forest, dark moor, of home-baked food, of wonderfully relaxed days full of beautiful memories.

The inland region of Schleswig-Holstein is a wonderful place to north your recreational compass. Between the green inland, the Schlei region the Auenland an der Stör, as well as the Elbmarsch in the far south, a new time-out awaits at every turn. In the middle of the region, the Mittelholstein the Segeberg district, as well as the city of Neumünster, lure in visitors with exciting adventure offers. Extensive river landscapes, unique nature parks, crystal-clear lakes. Gentle hills. Dikes with sheep on them and big boats behind them. Romantic little shops. Spectacular craftsmanship. Small markets with fresh fruit and vegetables. Adventure farms where visitors can feed cows (and milk them, if you dare). Quaint. Real. Pithy. The pleasure of the countryside. Enough treats to make you feel like you could burst. But never mind. Hiking and cycle paths for a short, relaxing digestive tour are, fortunately, more than plentiful here.

Typically Inland

The inland of Schleswig-Holstein is grassy green: Meadows, “Knicks” (traditional hedge ways) and deciduous forests characterise the landscape in the three nature parks of the state, which are strung together to form its “green” heart. The inland is traversed by one of the most important waterways in the world: the Kiel Canal.
