Cities

Wind strength 6: strong wind in Schleswig-Holstein’s towns. It blows through the streets when you’re shopping, gusts over the historical ports and plays with the boat sails, it messes up your hair and luckily also blows your cobwebs away.

The towns up here have everything you could want and maybe even a bit more. They come with a view of the sea, a view of the lake, a view of the river, a view of the port, a view of the silt, a view of the folding bridge and when it’s foggy, sometimes no view at all. Great, in other words, for a short break with lots of variety. Experience lively culture on small stages with exciting artists or tangible history in unique museums. Discover shops off the beaten track on a stroll through old cobbled streets. Idyllically beautiful at any time of year. Schleswig-Holstein can deliver much more than just flat expanses of countryside.

Cities close to the water

Whether on the sea coasts or in the midst of lush lake landscapes, whether on the Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal), along winding canals or clear rivers: Schleswig-Holstein's vacation bliss is reflected in the water's surface in the most beautiful colors of the respective season. While spring lets the cities blossom, the bathing season pampers with a fresh summer breeze. Autumn invigorates life and the countryside with a tailwind, while winter makes the Kluntje clink in the tea glass. Every season in the far north has its own special charm.
