October 3, 2026, Schlei Riverside Trail

The lower bank of the Schlei shows the quiet, natural side of the region around Kappeln. Along the bank, meadows, reed areas, and small bays alternate. The water of the Schlei reaches deep into the landscape and has shaped the lives of the people in the region for centuries. From the shore, there are beautiful views of the opposite banks, passing sailboats, and the wide landscape. Especially in calm weather, a peaceful atmosphere is created, inviting you to walk, cycle, and linger. The riverside landscape makes it clear how closely Kappeln and the surrounding villages are connected to the Schlei as a habitat, transport route, and a defining element of the landscape.

The Heringszaun in Kappeln is a historic fish-catching device in the Schlei and a testament to traditional fishing. The structure consists of wooden stakes driven into the riverbed, which blocked the herring's path. The fish could then be collected and subsequently caught. The Kappeln Heringszaun is today an important technical monument and recalls the former economic importance of herring fishing for the region.

Das älteste erhaltene Haus in Arnis befindet sich in der Langen Straße. Das historische Gebäude stammt aus dem 17. Jahrhundert und gehört zu den ältesten Bauwerken der Stadt. Es ist ein Beispiel für die traditionelle Bauweise der damaligen Zeit und steht für die lange Geschichte von Arnis als Fischer- und Schifferstadt an der Schlei. Gemeinsam mit den umliegenden historischen Häusern prägt es das Erscheinungsbild der Altstadt.
