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.

Nice, leisurely bike tour around Schleswig. The route out of town is less beautiful at the beginning and I would have liked more frequent views of the Schlei. Unfortunately, the cake house was not open yet. The stop in the old fishing district of Holm is very nice.

Bike tour around the Schlei to Schleswig, highly recommended.

The fifth tour took us to the back loop around Schleswig. Start and finish was the small town of Brodersby on the north side near the Missunder ferry. Since you pass the Viking settlement Haithabu on the circuit, this circuit is also known as the Viking trip on the local cycle paths. Other sights on this tour: The fishing settlement Holm in Schleswig, the old town and Gottorf Castle.

At the end of the holiday, a small bike tour, which took a little longer - I had to take breaks from the rain again and again.

Just made a little lap today. 😉 But a very nice one. 👍😄 PS: The St. Petri Cathedral in Schleswig should be ready in October 2021.

Very nice tour on great bike paths and almost empty district and country roads. We started at the free car park at the Missunde ferry on the southern bank. Then the route led us through very scenic areas, nature reserves and nice villages with well-kept green areas and old houses. In Schleswig you absolutely have to visit the old town center "Holm". Here visitors can expect charming little houses and alleys with flower decorations and an old cemetery in the middle of the village. It then goes back about 12 kilometers via newly built cycle paths to the ferry. The tour is highly recommended.

A truly fantastic cycling route around the lower end of the Schlei near Schleswig. The route mostly follows scenic farm roads, but occasionally runs alongside county roads and a federal highway. However, there are well-developed bike paths alongside the roads. It's always worth taking the time to enjoy the views over the fields and the Schlei.

With wonderful cycling weather again, with sunshine ☀️ and a temperature of 20°C, we took a ride around the Kleine Breite of the Schlei today. Beautiful scenery, constant views of the water, great rest areas, and the occasional opportunity to stop for a bite to eat 😉 Great bike paths, with everything from maintained railway lines to forest paths. A fantastic circular tour that we can highly recommend 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️👍
