In Wagersrott, it is important to distinguish between two visitor options: the former Holländerhof Museum and the rose garden are closed to guests, while the exterior of the filming location for the series “Der Landarzt” can still be viewed. A look at the filming location is therefore not the same as a visit to the museum or garden. Since the closure status may change if access is restored, check before your visit.
Regional visitor tips around Wagersrott
The Thorsberg Moor is a regional visitor tip for the Schlei villages around Wagersrott. Treat it as a regional destination, therefore, not as a sight within Wagersrott itself. The Angeln Steam Railway is also a regional visitor attraction for the Schlei villages around the town. If you include it in your travel plans, check the operating details in advance.
In the broader travel destination of Schleswig-Flensburg
Those looking to broaden their stay with a particular theme will find a range of cultural and landscape highlights in the broader travel destination of Schleswig-Flensburg. Haithabu and the Danevirke have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 2018; more than 25 kilometres of the rampart still remain. The historic memorial site and Idstedt Museum provide information about German-Danish history surrounding the uprising of 1848 and the Battle of Idstedt. World Heritage and surviving sections of the rampart, on the one hand, and 19th-century history and its commemoration, on the other, offer distinct cultural themes.
Film history also offers a regional perspective. From 1986 to 2012, Kappeln served as a filming location for “Der Landarzt” under the name “Deekelsen.” Arnis and the Schlei were filming locations for a German adaptation of “Five Friends.” Anyone interested in the Wagersrott filming location can place these film locations in the broader travel destination within a wider historical context. Arnis is also a destination for watersports enthusiasts today.
There are also different focal points for nature lovers. At 773 hectares, Geltinger Birk is the largest nature reserve in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg. It has well-maintained paths and guided walks that share interesting information about the flora and fauna. More than 130 bird species can be observed on Holnis, including around 65 breeding species; the peninsula is the northernmost tip of the young moraine landscape of Schleswig-Holstein.
Schlei Nature Park offers another perspective on the landscape. Its features include gentle hills, forests, hedgerow landscapes, rapeseed and grain fields, sandy beaches and bathing coves. The brackish-water areas of the Schlei are also a habitat for numerous endangered bird species. The district of Schleswig-Flensburg is also characterised by the Flensburg Fjord, with its unspoilt steep coasts and beaches, and the Eider-Treene-Sorge river landscape.
For active exploration, Schlei Nature Park offers guided nature tours, as well as the Viking-Frisian Way, the Ox Road and 15 signposted themed cycling routes. The 25-kilometre SchleiUferTörn is a cycling loop around the central part of the Schlei and starts in Arnis. Its length, loop format and starting point give this tour a clearly defined scope; the other cycling routes mentioned offer a broader selection through the landscape.
