July 6, 2025,Wanderung Kappeln <-> Arnis

Today we continued along the Schlei from Kappeln to Arnis, the smallest town in Germany.

The weather didn't look very promising, but it held up reasonably well until we reached Arnis. There, we had to take shelter for 10 minutes due to a heavy shower.

Today we set off despite the rain. The rain radar said it would stop after 20 minutes. But that was a complete lie...
Nevertheless, it was a beautiful walk to Arnis, the smallest town in Germany. There we strolled around a cafe and waited out the rain. The way back was dry😎

Arnis the smallest town in Germany. There is only one access to the city, otherwise a dead end. Except for the ferry connection that crosses the Schlei. You can walk around Arnis on the Kirchweg in 30 minutes, the "city" (0.45 km2) is located on a peninsula in the Schlei not far from Kappeln.

Visited the smallest town in Germany today. With a bright blue sky, we always went along the Schlei. Unfortunately, the ferry in Arnis is out of service, so we had to go back the same way and couldn't run a circuit as planned.

Today we're going in the other direction, from Kappeln to Arnis, the smallest town in Germany. Last time we just went around the outside, this time we went straight through. Beautiful little, lovingly restored houses line the main street of the town. A little gem on the Schlei.

Started today in Kappeln. First a short stroll to the mill and the town hall and then we went to the south port. The path at the yacht and museum harbor then takes you to the footpath and cycle path in the direction of Arnis.
