Highlight • Castle

A beautiful castle that should be seen. A visit is highly recommended. Even as a child, I was particularly fascinated by the bog bodies and the Nydam boat.

So beautiful light. So beautiful nature. Once …

Schlei without Vikings is simply not possible. Haithabu is simply a must. Very impressive is not only the reconstructed part of the old trading town, but also the museum.

June 8, 2026,Nach Schleswig⛪️ mit Schleiblick🛥

Today we were lucky with the weather again. Approximately 40 km were planned, but the non-existent ferry in Missunde forced us to cycle over the Boren-Lindaunis-Schleibrücke Nord. Honestly, we absolutely didn't mind the 26 km detour.😄 Then we went to Schleswig to visit the cathedral, the fishermen's quarter, and the harbor. A great city with many highlights.😉👍 Fascinating landscapes around …
