Holm Fishermen's Quarter, Schleswig

Highlight • Settlement

The men from the houses with their "Utluchten" (three-sided bay window) and "Klöndören" (half-divided doors) meet every evening for a bite before the "foot on the spar". This is a small alley that leads directly to the water.

Schleswig - you pearl on the Schlei! Despite having already walked 32km, I still wanted to make a detour to the harbor, Schleswig Cathedral, and the historic fishing quarter. Without my backpack, I felt like I was flying 🤭😂. The Schlei stretches out so beautifully, seemingly embracing Schleswig. Unfortunately, I was only able to enjoy the Königswiesen meadows to a …

So much worth seeing to discover in Schleswig. After the visit in 2020, the work on the cathedral is complete and everything shines in fresh splendor. Unfortunately, no ascension possible on the globe due to a defect, but the very competent guide presented entertaining stories that are not (yet) in Wikipedia. A wonderful trip with …

Absolutely worth seeing the fishing settlement Holm (Danish usage for small island). Formed around the year 1000 and separated from the mainland until the 20th century. It is now a district of the city of Schleswig. The houses there were built directly on the water, with this measure the optimal fish processing was guaranteed.

Later I went to the old town to St. Petri Cathedral.
From there I continued to the museum island of Gottorf Castle and …
