The Flensburg Fjord (Danish: Flensborg Fjord) is an approximately 40 to 50-kilometer-long inlet of the western Baltic Sea and forms the border between Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) and Denmark along its northern and southern sides. Geologically, it was formed by the indentation of a glacial tongue in the inland ice during the Weichselian glaciation. It is classified as a fjord rather than a fjord because its flanks are relatively low. The fjord is divided into two sections: the inner fjord toward Flensburg and the outer fjord, separated by the Holnis peninsula. At its western end, in Flensburg, it flows inland—the westernmost point of the Baltic Sea also lies along this line. Today, the region is an important sporting area, especially for sailors, and hosts major regattas such as the Flensburg Fjord Regatta and the Rum Regatta. Fjord Week, with events for classic yachts, is also part of the regular schedule. The Flensburg Fjord is also attractive for its landscape and tourism. It offers charming shorelines with beaches, steep coastlines, and moraine cliffs, nestled among gentle sandy areas. Nature and culture lovers will find a wealth of destinations along both shores: Flensburg with its historic old town and museum harbor, Glücksburg Castle, the Holnis peninsula with its protected salt marshes and lighthouses, as well as the Geltinger Birk nature reserve and the towns along the northern shore with the Gendarmenpfad (Gendarmen Trail) – a former border path along the Danish border. For centuries, the fjord has been shaped by passenger and freight traffic – historic steamers connected Flensburg with towns on both sides. Today, leisure boating, excursion boats, traditional yachts and marine activities dominate in Mürwik.

Frörup has an old water-powered mill, driven by the Treene River and used for grinding grain. It was probably established in the 13th century. Later, the mill belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Rüde. The abbot there ceded the mill to the King of Denmark in 1543. Today, the mill is privately owned, and the waterwheel is used only for generating electricity. Unfortunately, visits are not possible. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%B6rup

The municipal area of the city of Flensburg is located at the inner end of the Flensburg Fjord in the northwest of the Angeln peninsula on the German-Danish border[5][6] in the Schleswig-Holstein hill country natural area.[6] The nearest border crossing to Denmark is in the neighboring community of Harrislee to the north in the Schleswig-Flensburg district. After the neighboring city of Glücksburg, Flensburg is the second northernmost city in the Federal Republic of Germany.[7] The urban area extends on the western and southern banks of the Flensburg Fjord over various hills such as the Friesischer Berg or the Marienberg. The eastern shore area of the city is already considered to be part of the Angeln peninsula. The highest point in the urban area with at least 64 m above sea level is in the Marienhölzung area near the Duburg junction of the federal highway 200. The inner city area is located at the central bus station.

The port city gained nationwide fame through the "Points in Flensburg" recorded by the Federal Motor Transport Authority, Beate Uhse's erotic mail order business, Flensburg beer and the handball club SG Flensburg-Handewitt, and internationally through the seat of the last Reich government in 1945 under the leadership of Karl Dönitz in the district of Mürwik.[3] Factors such as the rum trade and military facilities, such as the Flensburg-Mürwik naval base, which shaped the city's growth in the 19th and 20th centuries, play only an insignificant role today. Of greater importance for the regional center are the pronounced border tourism, the Flensburg port with the historic port and the FSG shipyard, as well as the university of applied sciences with around 9200 students (winter semester 2014/2015)[4] and the European University of Flensburg, founded in 1994.

As the centre of the Danish minority in southern Schleswig, Flensburg took on a pioneering role in the recognition of national minorities after the Schleswig referendum in 1920 and the Bonn-Copenhagen Declarations of 1955, covered by a large number of Danish institutions. A significant proportion of the approximately 92,000 inhabitants speak Low German and Petuh in addition to German and Danish.

Flensburg is a large, independent city in the north of Schleswig-Holstein. After Kiel and Lübeck, Flensburg, with 92,667 inhabitants, is the third-largest city in the state, the largest in the Schleswig region and the northernmost independent city in Germany.
