Schleswig-Flensburg: Landscape, trails and culture
The broader travel destination of Schleswig-Flensburg has well-maintained cycling and hiking trails, as well as forests, lakes, meadows, marshes, beaches and sailing areas. Cars, public transport, bicycles and waterways are all options for getting to and around the district. In addition to the water sports on offer in Jagel, you can choose other regional highlights based on landscapes, nature trails or water activities.
Those looking to combine nature and outdoor activities in the broader travel destination of Schleswig-Flensburg will find well-maintained trails and guided walks in Geltinger Birk, where visitors learn about local flora and fauna. Covering 773 hectares, it is the largest nature reserve in the Schleswig-Flensburg district. Holnis offers a different focus: the peninsula is the northernmost tip of Schleswig-Holstein’s young moraine landscape. More than 130 bird species can be observed there, including around 65 breeding species. In the broader travel destination of Schleswig-Flensburg, the Flensburg Fjord—with its unspoiled steep coasts and beaches—adds to the landscape. The Eider-Treene-Sorge river landscape also adds another distinctive regional landscape feature.
Schlei Nature Park showcases another regional landscape, with gentle hills, forests, hedgerows, rapeseed and grain fields, sandy beaches and bathing coves. The Schlei’s brackish-water areas provide habitats for numerous endangered bird species. Guided nature tours are available in the nature park; the Viking-Frisian Way, the Ox Road and 15 signposted themed cycling routes also run through the landscape. One specific cycling loop is the 25-kilometre SchleiUferTörn around the central part of the Schlei, starting in Arnis. This offers a contrast between guided nature interpretation and a named cycling tour.
Culture and history are also part of the broader travel destination of Schleswig-Flensburg. Haithabu and the Danewerk have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018; more than 25 kilometres of the Danewerk rampart are still preserved today. The Idstedt Museum and the historic memorial site provide information about German-Danish history surrounding the 1848 uprising and the Battle of Idstedt. Kappeln offers another cultural connection: from 1986 to 2012, the town served as a filming location for the television series “Der Landarzt” under the name “Deekelsen.” Arnis and the Schlei were filming locations for a German adaptation of “Famous Five”; today, Arnis is also a destination for water sports enthusiasts.
