Gottorf Castle

Highlight • Castle

A beautiful castle not to be missed. A visit is highly recommended. Even as a child I was particularly fascinated by the bog bodies and the Nydam boat.
Gottorf Castle, this magnificent white building at the entrance to Schleswig from the 15th century, was once the residence of the Gottorf dukes. They made Schleswig the cultural center of Northern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Schleswig Museum Island offers an exciting excursion into the history of Schleswig-Holstein, overwhelming archaeological treasures and works of art. One of the highlights is the castle itself, which now houses the Museum of Archeology and the Museum of Art and Cultural History.

Old District Railway Line Schleswig–Station Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Old railway line between the castle and the train station. Gravel surface relatively easy to drive on and sufficiently wide. Muddy if wet.

Haithabu Viking Houses

Highlight • Historical Site

Highly interesting reconstruction of seven Viking houses found during excavations. The replica was built using historical craft techniques and materials. On narrow plank paths between the clay-plastered wattle-and-daub walls of the houses, you get a good idea of Viking life. In summer, there is a large event program that brings the village to life, allowing you to watch the "inhabitants" practice their old crafts or trade with them on market days.

In winter, the houses in the open-air area are closed.

Holm Fishermen's Quarter, Schleswig

Highlight • Settlement

The men from the houses with their "Utluchten" (three-sided bay window) and "Klöndören" (half-divided doors) meet every evening for a bite before the "foot on the spar". This is a small alley that leads directly to the water.

Schleswig Harbour

Highlight • Structure

The location of the Schleswig city harbor is excellent. The old town with the cathedral and the old fishing settlement "Holm" border directly on the harbor. The shopping street with numerous shops is only a few minutes' walk away. Varied gastronomy can be found directly at the harbor, bike rental and excursions on the Schlei complete the offer.
