Canoeing tour: one stroke after another on the “Amazon of the North” Wonderful Wakenitz

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.

All of these stories are bathed in the special glow of our northern skies. It’s a vastness and clarity that opens your eyes and lets your soul breathe. Come try it for yourself!

– Dr. Bettina Bunge, Geschäftsführerin der Tourismus-Agentur Schleswig-Holstein

The inspirations, the planning, the anticipation are all part of the perfect trip. We created this magazine about Schleswig-Holstein to serve as spark for creating unforgettable memories. In it you will find a colorful bouquet of stories. Whether it’s about winter swimming in the Wadden Sea, a bike tour on the historic Ox Trail, or contemporary art that has found its home in a very special place in the Sachsenwald forest, we hope these stories illustrate what makes Schleswig-Holstein so special. Perhaps it is best illustrated by our story about a winery outing and meet up with pop singer Wincent Weiss for a fish sandwich. Wincent Weiss is a true Schleswig-Holsteiner, and after years away, he couldn’t deny the call to come 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,
Dr. Bettina Bunge
