THEMA:

Schleswig is also a interesting small town for a visit.
There you will find the important Museum in Schleswig-Holstein. It is an old castle, called Schloß Gottorf, very good for bad weather conditions.
In sunshine you have to visit Haithabu, a place where vikings settled, an old market place.
Very beautyful is the firth "Schlei", it starts in Schleswig and goes into the baltic sea.

Oh, wir sind schon lange nicht mehr im traumhaften Schleswig-Holstein gewesen!

I also recommend to visit Husum.

Husum was the birtplace of the novelist Theodor Storm.

greetings

Moin,

if you are south from Hamburg and want to relax (and it is sunny) you can stay a day at Festung Grauerort. There is a motorhome parking inside the fortress and a small beach at the river Elbe where you can watch the big vessels passing by. If it is really warm you may take a bath in the river - but be aware on tide streams!

Nearby you'll find the small Hanse towns Stade and Buxtehude. Much smaller than Lübeck and Lüneburg but both have also a beautyful old town.

Cheers, Christian

Hallo ihr lieben Forumteilnehmer,

da ihr hier bestimmt sehr schöne Ziele angebt, wäre es sehr schön wenn ihr eure Beiträge, wie Garfield (Ken), auch noch auf Deutsch einstellen könntet.

Es wäre doch Schade, wenn jeder die Beiträge erst mal durch ein Übersetzungsprogramm übersetzen lassen müsste.

Für euer Mühe und eurer Entgegenkommen bedanke ich mich schon mal.

The ferry "Kronsnest" is the smallest ferry in Germany. It crosses the river Krückau, near Elmshorn.

(Only in summertime on weekends)


Die Fähre Kronsnest ist die kleinste Fähre Deutschlands. Sie überquert die Krückau, bei Elmshorn.

(nur im Sommer an Wochenenden)

(Das englische Wort "ferry" ist abgeleitet von dem deutschen Wort "fahren".)

Vielen Dank an alle. Das ist genau das, was ich suche. Ein oder zwei Orte habe ich gelesen, aber die meisten sind neu für mich. Zwei Wochen werden nicht lang genug sein, aber Ferien sind immer kurz.

Thank you everyone. This is just what I am after. One or two places I have read about but most are new to me. Two weeks will not be long enough but holidays are always short.

Howdy,

the north of Germany is wide (depending how you define it, it is parts of lower saxony, Hamburg, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, from the netherland border - polish border) and If you have 2 weeks to travel, you probably have to focus ro certain areas. E.g. Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.
In Schleswig-Holstein you can see the north sea and baltic sea and discover the differences.
You have Islands like Sylt, Föhr, Hallig Pellworm, Fehmarn.
The river Schlei, the Kiel Canal, the "Schwebefähre Rendsburg" (a ferry hanging on rails under a train bridge to cross the Kiel canal).

The Bunker Valentin near Bremen, the U-Boot Wilhelm Bauer in Bremerhaven (you should visit it, if you visit the bunker Valentin, their story belong together), the town of Bremen itself,
The AERONAUTICUM - Deutsches Luftschiff- und Marinefliegermuseum Nordholz (Airship and Navy Air arm museum).

if you stay in Hamburg, try to visit the "Miniatur Wunderland"
It's worth a visit.

Whatever you prefer... crowd or country , you`ll find it.

Loads to discover....enjoy your trip.

Hi folks,

@Garfield,
If you're in the north.
Then the small fishing town of Eckernförde is always worth a trip.
You can also walk through the shopping streets in Flensburg and sit in nice cafes.
What is also interesting is that the Eider Barrier in Dithmarschen is very easy to visit and you can also eat good fish sandwiches here.
Not to forget, Kiel and Laboe with the Marine Memorial, and there is an old submarine from WW2 on the beach that you can visit.
Go to Schleswig/Haitabu to visit the Vikings.
That's all

Der Echte Norden ist Schleswig Holstein

My best tip for a rainy day in Hamburg:

historisches Museum Altona

Das Museum Altona ist mein bester Tipp für einen Regentag in Hamburg.
