This incline and the one curve that could be interpreted as a serpentine immediately give you that Alpine feeling 😄

Schleswig ([ˈʃleːsvɪç], Low German: Sleswig, Danish: Slesvig, Anglo-Danish: Sljasvig[2]) is a medium-sized town in Schleswig-Holstein at the end of the long Schlei fjord in the Baltic Sea. It is the district town of the Schleswig-Flensburg district, the former capital of the Duchy of Schleswig, and is also known as the judicial capital of the state, as it is – for historical reasons – the seat of the State Constitutional Court, as well as three other higher courts and the Public Prosecutor's Office.

In the distance, slightly to the left of the cathedral, in the middle of the small broad area, you can see Gull Island. It is also called Seagull Mountain or, in Danish, Mågeøen, and is only 3-5 meters high. It is a bird sanctuary. It is monitored and maintained by the so-called Seagull King. Around 1115, there was also a castle on the island, from which some bricks and other remnants were washed away during the great flood of 2023.

Frörup has an old water-powered mill, driven by the Treene River and used for grinding grain. It was probably established in the 13th century. Later, the mill belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Rüde. The abbot there ceded the mill to the King of Denmark in 1543. Today, the mill is privately owned, and the waterwheel is used only for generating electricity. Unfortunately, visits are not possible. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%B6rup
