Exploring Schleswig-Holstein Key
Motorway
Undoubtedly the greatest attraction in this two-part state is Main road
Lübeck, and at least one day should be set aside to visit this Minor road
town. Kiel is a popular destination during the annual Kieler Main railway
Woche, the world’s largest sailing festival. The sun-kissed island Minor railway
of Sylt invites the visitor to linger for a few days, while the National border
stunning scenery of Helgoland is best explored in a one-day Regional border
trip from Cuxhaven or Büsum. Hotels in the larger towns,
such as Schleswig, Kiel or Flensburg, and many provincial
boarding houses, provide a good base for excursions.
