Schleswig-Flensburg

Schleswig-Flensburg is a rural district in northern Schleswig-Holstein along the Baltic coast. The area consists of many small towns and villages that together create a countryside landscape.

The district was created in 1974 through a merger of several municipalities and administrative areas. This reorganization brought many local communities under one shared administrative structure.

German and Danish ways of life sit side by side throughout the region. In villages and small towns, you can see how both cultures coexist and show themselves in local celebrations, shops, and daily customs.

The area is easy to explore by bike, as many settlements are connected by cycling routes. Access to individual villages and towns is straightforward and inviting for exploration.

Proximity to the Danish border has shaped the economic life of this region for many years. Cross-border trade and exchange influence daily activity in commerce and craft businesses.
