Spring

When the days get longer and the sun's rays warmer, the sky shines a clear blue and the first birds start to chirp, life returns to the vacation resorts in the true north - it's spring in Schleswig-Holstein.

Summer

When colorful swimming trunks and bikinis plunge into the North Sea and Baltic Sea, a refreshing breeze blows pleasantly around your nose after a hot day and a sea of sandcastles, built with hard work, adorn the beaches - then it's summer in Schleswig-Holstein.

Autumn

When the landscapes and towns of Schleswig-Holstein glow in warm colors and the leaves turn brightly colored, when the days get shorter, the temperatures cooler and the winds rougher, the golden autumn begins in the true north.

Winter

The true north is multifaceted and a place for vacation and relaxation all year round. Especially in winter, you will find quiet places and tranquil spots on the coasts and in the heart of the country where the clocks seem to stand still.

Christmas and New Year's Eve

The true north is always worth a visit - especially at the end of November and in December, Schleswig-Holstein is unique. After all, where else can you enjoy the pre-Christmas period by the sea or with Scandinavian flair?
