When the leaves change colour in Schleswig-Holstein, the days get shorter and the sunsets become even more magical. Between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, a glorious hiking season begins. The light, the colours and the cool air make experiences in nature more intense and heartbreakingly beautiful. Whether on a short day trip or a challenging hike, it’s a wonderful time of year to reacquaint yourself with the landscape of Germany's northernmost state.
In this Collection, we have selected a colourful mix of hiking trails for autumn. Once you have decided on your favourite trail, the only question that usually remains is how to get there. With the exception of the Jörler Landscape Trail, every hiking trail in this Collection can be reached not only by car, but also by bus and train. The fact that most of the Tours are circular routes makes getting there and back doubly easy. You can quickly find the right connection at the SH local transport association: nah.sh (in German).
In addition to exciting day trips, such as the round trip to the Viking site of Danewerk or the hike to the Karl May plays in Bad Segeberg, we have selected two of the most beautiful long-distance hiking trails in the north. You can spend 10 days inland on the Nature Park Hiking Trail (komoot.de/collection/1325589) from Brokstedt to Maasholm. The four nature parks along the way offer you a colourful spectacle and great insights into Schleswig-Holstein's wildlife, particularly in autumn. If you're more interested in a pilgrimage trail, check out the four-day Vicelinweg (komoot.de/collection/1331173).
The charm of an autumn hike in the inland is also due to the cosy cafés and restaurants in the region. After all, what could be better than warming up in the afternoon between lakes, rivers and the Baltic Sea fjord with a hot cup of tea and a slice of cake and putting your feet up for a moment?
On a hike along the Neuendeich cultural and historical hiking trail, you can discover the origins and development of the march on your own. The hike takes you over eight kilometers through the Elbmarsch near Uetersen and even brings you to a special orchard where you can try old apple varieties.

The Danevirke - in German Danewerk - is a centuries-old Viking rampart where the German-Danish border once ran. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
