Gastronomy at Landschaftsmuseum Angeln

On the road between Flensburg and Kiel, visit Landschaftsmuseum Angeln, a landscape museum comprised of five islands. After a long day on the motorcycle and walking around the landscape museum, a hike through the Langballigau valley can deplete your energy levels. Lucky enough, you are close to Restaurant Unewatt by Hendrik, where you can relax and replenish yourself inside and outside with something warm, sweet, tasty, wet and refreshing.

Kiel - Gateway to The Baltic

The gateway to The Baltic, Kiel has a long shipbuilding and naval tradition but is characterised today by its vibrant student scene, laid-back lifestyle and urban flair. You can sense this in its modern city centre as much as you can on Dänische Strasse, a street of 19th-century buildings full of maritime charm.

Kiel and the many water activities

Water is the dominant element of this city, where the sea has forged a path right into its centre. You can feel, see and breathe the magical maritime atmosphere wherever you go: along the elongated Kiel Fjord, around the port or amidst the iconic container cranes of the shipyards, which are among the largest in Europe.

The Gorch Fock, a well-travelled training ship and a star attraction at international sailing events, is as much part of the cityscape as the huge ferries docked at the Skandinavienkai quay. The impressive Kiel Week regatta, the annual international sailing festival, firmly cements the city's status as the maritime centre of the north.

Ferries from everywhere

The northern German coastline is dotted with ferry ports where you can take ferries to and from Denmatk, Sweden, Finland, and the other Baltic states. You'll see motorcycle registration numbers from all over Europe and beyond, arrving and departing from here.

A German submarine on a beach

From Kiel, head northeast to the Naval Memorial Tower and German U-995 Submarine at Laboe, then head south to the lakeland region around Schloss Plön, a hilltop castle built in the 1630's, with magnificent lakefront views.

The Hanseatic City of Lübeck

Continue south to the medieval Hanseatic city of Lübeck, where you will see the seven church towers on five Gothic churches that characterize Lübeck's famous old town silhouette.

Visit the European Hansemuseum, revel in the UNESCO World Heritage surroundings where you can breathe history, discover art and culture in unexpected places and experience Lübeck's elixir of life, the waterways of the Hanseatic city to the Baltic Sea!.

Queen of the Hanseatic League for over 500 years

A town of living tradition, Lübeck offers citizens and visitors a high quality of life and tourism experience. Medieval ambience and modern shops. The urban, diverse cultural life, the many recreational opportunities in the town, surrounding hinterland or in and on the water are unique in combination with the proximity to the Baltic Sea. Lübeck is at the same time unique, beautiful, diverse, spectacular, and the silhouette of the seven towers is an incomparable surviving example of medieval brick Gothic.

Enjoy some of the many organ concerts in the five large city churches and musical experiences in the music and congress hall. Vibrant cultural life in the corridors and streets of Lübeck Old Town surrounded by water.

Founded in 1143 by Adolf von Schauenburg, revived by Heinrich the Lion in 1157, it was declared a city directly under the Empire in 1226 by Emperor Friedrich II and remained so until 1937. The Second World War left it with deep wounds. But the proverbial Hanseatic civic spirit made it possible to restore the famous seven towers, numerous town houses, corridors, courtyards and monasteries. Queen of the Hanseatic League for 500 years and today the gateway to the Baltic Sea, Scandinavia and the Baltic States.
