View of the Schlei

Highlight • Viewpoint

This section of the cycle path is particularly attractive and interesting. The Schlei is impressively rough and beautiful here.

At the narrowest part of the loop, the “Missunder Narrow”, which is only 135 meters wide, a ferry connects the towns of Brodersby and Missunde. It runs all year round and crosses the loop with pedestrians, cyclists and cars. If you had wanted to translate here before 1952, you would still have been driving on a hand-operated, wooden ferry cream.

Missunde Ferry across the Schlei

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Small update from the ferry: currently the old ferry is still running, but it will soon be replaced by a solar ferry. The ferry price with a bicycle has increased to 1.50 euros. Still moderate, in my opinion.

Missunde Ferry on the Schlei

Highlight • Rest Area

"Ferryman get it". For more than 500 years (first mention in 1471), there is a ferry at the Missunder Enge. One suspects, however, that many people were transferred by boat from one side to the other much earlier. Already in 1115, Missunde is called "Versundt" in historical sources. During the Schleswig-Holstein survey and the German-Danish war, the narrowest part of the Schlei was a strategically important place and often fought over. A documentation of these events can be found in the Village Museum Brodersby, Missunder Fährstraße 4.
Perhaps interesting is this report: de.wikisource.org/wiki/Von_Schleswig_nach_Missunde
Today, in peaceful times, we can use the ferry as a shortcut to get to the Schwansener side. On the ferry fit max. 8 cars, with trailer even less. After the start, the Missunde II jerks and twitches once on its steel hawsers (it is a cable ferry) and chugs comfortably to the other shore. There are nostalgic feelings. On the way back the same procedere. With a fare of just € 0.60 / adult on foot a cheap pleasure.
On the Angelner side there is a cozy snack for fish sandwiches and simple small dishes. My fish sandwich was delicious, rolls fresh from the oven, warm and crispy, fish fresh and tender (sherry-sild). Totally nice, friendly elderly landlords and a nice environment with tables and benches inside and outside, as well as a beautifully landscaped outdoor area (with flowers and children's playground) What more could you ask for. Open: Tuesday-Sunday approx. 12.00-approx.19.30, closed on Mondays.
If that's not enough, head to the ferry house at Missunde. Since 1805 there is an inn at this place. Seasonally different opening times. On offer also accommodation and rooms for celebrations. On the homepage you will find the menu as pdf-download. Reads himself promising. I think the prices are not too high for an economy with such an exposed location.

Scenic view of Ornumer Noor

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ornumer Noor is one of the side bays of the Schlei, which is connected to the Baltic Sea fjord with a narrow flow. The Noor also has about the same salt content as the Schlei in the area. This bay has become the ideal spawning ground for eel, perch, bream, pike and roach. The name giver for this noor, the Ornum estate, also has the fishing rights for this lake. And that since 1789.

Ornumer Noor

Highlight • Lake

The path along Gut Ornum allows a unique view over the fields and the Ornumer Noor, which stretches far into the country. The landscape forms a pretty play of colors. The Gut Ornum complex is at the end of a long avenue and is privately owned.

Anna Mill in Norby

Highlight • Monument

The Anna Mill is a gallery windmill and was built in 1911. It was in operation until 1978. Today, Anna houses the Rieseby local history museum. Here you can gain insights into the history of the windmill and about the Rieseby local history museum. There is also a wedding room in the mill. More information about opening hours and events can be found here: muehle-anna.de/ne/sid/muehle/muehle.html

Next to the mill, there is a trout fishing lake, which was well-attended during my tour. Regardless of whether anything is caught or not, the lake is very idyllic. There are also benches, but they seem to be mainly reserved for anglers. But if there are none available, you can certainly take a break there too.

Crossing the Schlei at Missunde and Lindaunis (as of May 2024): The old Missunde ferry is running again (price with bicycle 1.50 EUR), and at Lindaunis the Schlei can be crossed on foot or by bike (pushing). At Lindaunis there can be waiting times of around 30 minutes when the bascule bridge is opened for boats.

May 8, 2024,Brodersby Lindaunis Missunde Schlei Runde

A trip around Schleistück, the old Lindaunis bridge and the old Missunde ferry, yes the old one still works.
The Lindaunis bridge is at a standstill again, new regulations again, so more expensive and longer. 🤔😞
