Relaxation with a view

Take a deep breath. Relax.
And gaze out to the horizon:
Schleswig-Holstein’s wide skies
offer plenty of space
for the most wonderful kind of vacation.

Dear readers,

You’ve made a wonderful discovery by picking up this issue of “Ganz weit oben”, getting a first taste of what your stay in Schleswig-Holstein could be like. We hope you are already looking forward to your next trip to us, to the real north.

The first inspirations, the planning, the anticipation – they are all part of a successful trip. That is why we have created this magazine about Schleswig-Holstein for you. In it you will find a colorful bouquet of stories: about the Wadden Sea and winter swimming, about a bike tour on the historic Ox Trail and about contemporary art that has found its home in a very special place in the Sachsenwald forest. We show you a winery and meet up with pop singer Wincent Weiss for a fish sandwich. Because Wincent Weiss is a true Schleswig-Holsteiner – and after years away, he has come back home.

We look forward to your visit, and if you already live in Schleswig-Holstein, we hope you are having a lovely stay. You are sure to find new ideas for your next trip here.

Enjoy reading,
Your Schleswig-Holstein Tourism Agency
