Halbinsel Holnis, Protected peninsula in Glücksburg, Germany

The Holnis peninsula extends 6 kilometers into the Flensburg Fjord, featuring steep cliffs, sandy beaches, and salt marshes across 360 hectares of protected land.

The peninsula, formerly an island until 1929, received official protection status in 1993 and falls under management of the Nature Conservation Association of Schleswig-Holstein.

The area contains remnants of three former brickworks that operated until 1961, representing the industrial heritage of the northern German coastal region.

The nature reserve maintains 10 kilometers of walking trails leading to observation points at Holnis Cliff and Holnis Point, overlooking the Baltic Sea.

The Gross Noor, a former coastal lake in the southern section, underwent drainage between 1924 and 1929 through a system of ditches and pumping stations.
