Not only the long loop around the Holnis peninsula is recommended, but the entire area – whether on foot or by bike. The combination of cliffs, beach, quiet country lanes, and expansive views over the Flensburg Fjord makes this tour truly special. 🌅
What I particularly like:
⦁ the varied landscape – from open fields to salt marshes to cliffs with sea views 🐚
⦁ the proximity to nature – you often see seabirds, sometimes even deer or hares 🐦🦌
⦁ the peaceful atmosphere, especially in the morning or evening hours
The hiking trail is well signposted and easy to walk. It's very suitable for families and, very important because it's rarely mentioned: also suitable for strollers ✅
For cyclists: Please note that the nature reserve in the middle is closed to bicycles 🚫🚲 – but you can easily cycle around it and still experience much of the charm of the trail.
Nevertheless, you'll often see intelligent beasts packing their brains into their saddlebags at the sign and speeding through like a monkey stung by a wasp 🤬 – which isn't surprising, considering that cyclists are often perceived as a nuisance.
If you love nature and are looking for a tour that combines sea views, peace, and exercise, this is the place for you – whatever the season. 🌾❄️🌞
Highlights of the tour are definitely:
⦁ View from the Holnis Cliff
⦁ Denmark within reach
⦁ Birdwatching in the middle of the nature reserve
⦁ Swimming on the north beach
⦁ The old sailor's grave & Lake Pugumer
