Schleswig Travel Guide

In Schleswig, where I was born, there are lots of interesting museums. Right now there's a mummy exhibition at the "Landesmuseum Gottorf" with mummies from all over the world. But Gottorf has more to offer than that: a big permanent exhibition about life in Schleswig and the region. Besides that the city has a beaufitul small old town called "Holm" where still many fishmen live. Haithabu, a big Viking town in the past, has a nice museum with rebuilded houses just outside Schleswig. So it's a pretty historical place but with great nature also. The region is one of the most beautiful regions I've seen so far!

Visit the tiny old fisherman's cottages in the small but well preserved old town up on the hill. Buy a 'Fischbroetchen' from one of the vendors down at the quayside. Eat it quickly or the seagulls will take it form you!

Try the dark amber local beer, Asgaard. To ensure freshness, this beer can only be sold in and around Schleswig. For the full experience, visit the brewery restaurant near the marina.
