Flensburg

Flensburg impresses with its maritime flair and Nordic charm. Worth seeing are the historic harbour, the picturesque old town with its merchants' courtyards, the Maritime Museum and St. Nikolai's Church. Cosy cafés and promenades along the fjord invite you to linger.

Between the Flensburg FjordThe narrow Als Fjord and the Little Belt create a unique water landscape. Flensburg is the ideal starting point for this area. The Historic seafaring and harbour town is considered the home of rum and the West Indies voyage. Here one follows in the midst of romantic captains' and merchants' courtyards the traces of adventure, the smell of salt and tar. In the 18th century, ships from the Caribbean brought raw rum to the city - the many sailors' shanties around the famous "Buddel Rum" still bear witness to this today. Our tip: take part in one of the City tours part. The Maritime museum with exciting insights into the maritime past and the imposing St Nicholas' Church characterises the cityscape.

Guestbook comments

I can only recommend a sailing trip on the 'Eye of the Wind'. This two-master is a sailing ship straight out of a picture book, and the crew is in a great mood. And if you want, you can climb to the top of the mast - 27 metres above sea level. Fabulous!"

Claus-Georg Petri
Fellow sailor and journalist, about his cruise in the Danish South Sea

Simply an overwhelming experience - you have to experience it.

Dr Hermann Gärlich
fellow sailor, about his voyage between Vigo and Tenerife

Here I can let go of all the tension and find myself again.

Jan Störmer
fellow sailor, about his voyage from Stockholm through the western Swedish archipelago

The way this magnificent sailing ship pushes through the waves with the help of the wind alone is an indescribable feeling. There is nothing more beautiful.
