Flensburg Museum Harbor

Highlight • Historical Site

In Flensburg's historic harbor, visitors can still experience the city's maritime heritage and way of life firsthand. Alongside the museum shipyard and the maritime museum, the harbor boasts a diverse collection of historic motor, sailing, and steamships. Highlights include the famous saloon steamer Alexandra, the Captain's Walk, where visitors can relive a day in the life of a captain, and the beautiful old town setting, which, in conjunction with numerous maritime events, truly offers a journey back in time.

Cycle route along the Flensburg Fjord

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Flensburg Fjord (Danish: Flensborg Fjord) is an approximately 40 to 50-kilometer-long inlet of the western Baltic Sea and forms the border between Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) and Denmark along its northern and southern sides. Geologically, it was formed by the indentation of a glacial tongue in the inland ice during the Weichselian glaciation. It is classified as a fjord rather than a fjord because its flanks are relatively low.

The fjord is divided into two sections: the inner fjord toward Flensburg and the outer fjord, separated by the Holnis peninsula. At its western end, in Flensburg, it flows inland—the westernmost point of the Baltic Sea also lies along this line.

Today, the region is an important sporting area, especially for sailors, and hosts major regattas such as the Flensburg Fjord Regatta and the Rum Regatta. Fjord Week, with events for classic yachts, is also part of the regular schedule.

The Flensburg Fjord is also attractive for its landscape and tourism. It offers charming shorelines with beaches, steep coastlines, and moraine cliffs, nestled among gentle sandy areas. Nature and culture lovers will find a wealth of destinations along both shores: Flensburg with its historic old town and museum harbor, Glücksburg Castle, the Holnis peninsula with its protected salt marshes and lighthouses, as well as the Geltinger Birk nature reserve and the towns along the northern shore with the Gendarmenpfad (Gendarmen Trail) – a former border path along the Danish border.

For centuries, the fjord has been shaped by passenger and freight traffic – historic steamers connected Flensburg with towns on both sides. Today, leisure boating, excursion boats, traditional yachts and marine activities dominate in Mürwik.

Wassersleben Beach

Highlight • Beach

It's definitely worth stopping here and enjoying the beautiful sandy beach. In summer it's great to lie on the beach and swim in the cool water.

Schusterkate Border Crossing (Germany–Denmark)

Highlight • Bridge

If you want to cycle along the German Baltic Sea coast, you should actually visit this place. Because here, at this boundary stone, it begins. With the wooden bridge, the boats in the harbor and the waterfowl on the nearby shore, it is also a nice place to take a break.

View of the Ochseninseln

Highlight • Viewpoint

Opposite these islands, a large tongue of land invites you to take a walk. From here you have the best and quietest view of both islands. The headland is even mapped.☝️

View of Gråsten Palace (Gravenstein)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gravenstein is best known for its magnificent castle, which serves as the summer residence of the royal family of Denmark. Although the Gråsten Castle is not accessible for sightseeing, in the park of the castle you can truly feel regal. It is one of the most beautiful parks in northern Europe and is open to the public from April to October, as is the chapel of the royal family. In the summer you should also not miss the daily changing of the guard at 12 o'clock.

Be enchanted or even inspired by Gravenstein, as Hans Christian Andersen did. During his stay at Gråsten Castle he wrote the fairy tale "The little girl with the matches". You can sweeten your visit with delicious Gravensteiner apples.
