Noore – from the Danish word “Nor” – are bodies of water that are almost completely separated from the sea, except for a small access point. Accordingly, the coastal lakes feature a special mix of fresh and saltwater – a unique habitat for waterfowl. The most beautiful Noore around the Schlei are the Haddebyer Noor and the Selker Noor.

Schleswig ([ˈʃleːsvɪç], Low German: Sleswig, Danish: Slesvig, Anglo-Danish: Sljasvig[2]) is a medium-sized town in Schleswig-Holstein at the end of the long Schlei fjord in the Baltic Sea. It is the district town of the Schleswig-Flensburg district, the former capital of the Duchy of Schleswig, and is also known as the judicial capital of the state, as it is – for historical reasons – the seat of the State Constitutional Court, as well as three other higher courts and the Public Prosecutor's Office.

In the distance, slightly to the left of the cathedral, in the middle of the small broad area, you can see Gull Island. It is also called Seagull Mountain or, in Danish, Mågeøen, and is only 3-5 meters high. It is a bird sanctuary. It is monitored and maintained by the so-called Seagull King. Around 1115, there was also a castle on the island, from which some bricks and other remnants were washed away during the great flood of 2023.

Indeed a beautiful view of the Schlei, but we had to move on quickly as there were a lot of cars driving along the Gottorfer Damm.
