Schleswig-Holstein Region Natural Environment
Bornhoved, Schleswig-Holstein Region, Germany An interesting church on a small site surrounded by trees. Lots of places to take a dip in the surrounding lakes when the weather is good. A great range of supermarkets and local shops. Good tip? (0) Timmendorfer Strand, Schleswig-Holstein Region, Germany Great beach, but packed in the summer when the weather is good. There is often a cold wind blowing off the baltic so you will see plenty of the famous 'Sandkorb' chairs/wind breaks whch are famous in this area. Parking can be difficult, find a space and walk to the beach. Good tip? (0) Wedel, Schleswig-Holstein Region, Germany Although not a part of the city of Hamburg Wedel is a de facto suburb of the city. Wedel has a Subway station connecting it to Hamburg's rapid transit system. The thing Wedel is most known for is the "Willkomm Höft". As ships pass Wedel on the river Elbe on their way in and out of the port of Hamburg each ship is greeted over a big loudspeaker system and the national anthem of the ships home land is played. It's worth visiting and I know of no other institution like this. The high speed ferry connecting Hamburg and the island of Helgoland stops in Wedel just at the Willkomm Höft. The Willkomm höft is also a good starting point for a walk or bicycle ride along the river into Hamburg. You will pass the pompus suburb of Blankenese, have a chance to look across the river and see the airbus factory and probalby meet loads of people if the weather is nice. Musicians and vendors selling Crepes or ice cream are around as well. The ways are mostly for pedestrians and bicycles only. As the subway line S1 runs roughly along the river as well there is always the option of takeing the train back to the place you stay at should your feet get tired. Good tip? (0) Sylt, Schleswig-Holstein Region, Germany Go to the beach a many times as possible, even if the weather is not so good. The waves matter! Good tip? (0) Molln, Schleswig-Holstein Region, Germany Molln is a nice, small town 50 km east of Hamburg, Germany. There are a number of lakes that surround Molln and if the weather is nice (on a good day in the summer), it is great to hire a canoe and peddle around on the waters. After the workout, make sure you have a nice drink in the bar next to the church in the town centre. If you are lucky, they are playing live jazz music there. Good tip?
