Schleswig-Holstein
Capital: Kiel
Area: 20,455km2
Population: 2.75 million
You can swim in two different seas on a
single day when visiting the "Northern Lights". The North Sea and the
Baltic Sea are only separated from each other by 65 kilometers in the
northern part of the Federal State of Schleswig-Holstein. In the
modern
spas along the coastline, long and dreamy sand beaches are waiting for
you along with numerous enjoyable activities. Excitement can also be
discovered inland. Besides the uniqueness of nature to be found in
Schleswig-Holstein, the versatile countryside culture must simply be
experienced. Let yourself be surprised in the countryside between two
seas.
Schlesweg-Holstein is primarily an area of land that ages ago was
created by Ice Age glaciers. The soil, pushed from Scandinavia, is
somewhat stony and 300 feet deep in certain areas. Without the existence
of this landmass, the North Sea and
Baltic would be combined in one huge
waterway. This area of land is diverse and interesting. Along the Baltic
coast are fjords cutting inland and on the western side, the coastline
is soft consisting of mudflats and marshes. This region is secured by
heavy dykes.
Northeastern city of Flensburg was under Danish rule for 400 years and
today is well known for old market squares and romanticly set courtyards
graced with elaborate facades Breathe deeply, feel simply good.

The air in Schleswig-Holstein is of higher quality than champagne and
the landscape is balsam for the soul. The countryside between two seas
is therefore an ideal location for extensive bicycle trips, enjoyable
fishing trips and relaxing wellness programs. Active vacationers can
also look forward to the fantastic water sports offered along the coast
and on the large inland lakes. Then at the end of a day full of
different experiences, our guests can enjoy the peace of the country and
typical culinary delights in one of a multitude of cozy country pubs.
