Küstenbereiche Flensburger Förde von Flensburg bis Geltinger Birk

The protected coastal region extends from Flensburg to Geltinger Birk, featuring dunes, sandy beaches, salt meadows, and brackish lagoons along the Baltic Sea.

The area received its conservation status in 1934, while the Geltinger Birk section underwent land reclamation in 1821 through the construction of dykes and windmills.

Four marked hiking trails allow visitors to explore different sections of the conservation area, with routes named after local wildlife such as owls and highland cattle.

Visitors can access the conservation area through parking facilities at Charlotte Mill or Falshöft Lighthouse, with the main entrance points located near the town of Gelting.

The conservation area hosts a herd of 100 Konik horses, descendants of eleven wild horses introduced in 2002 for natural landscape maintenance.
