Eutin

The present-day district town of Eutin, the capital of the Ostholstein district, experienced a cultural heyday around 1800, a tradition that continues today with the Eutin Festival, a festival of opera and operetta music.
With its many lakes and rolling hills, the surrounding area is a paradise for all kinds of activities. Cyclists, hikers, golfers, sailors and anglers will all find plenty to enjoy, as will fans of golf and miniature golf. An extensive network of routes for running and hiking, especially Nordic walking, provides the perfect setting for an active family holiday. Germany’s largest Nordic fitness park was established in 2006 in collaboration with the neighbouring towns of Plön and Bad Malente.
Although Eutin Castle looks more like a fortress from the outside, most of it is open to the public as a museum. The palace gardens are one of the most significant works of garden design in northern Germany. Along with Glücksburg Castle near Glücksburg near Flensburg and Gottorf Castle near Schleswig , Eutin Castle is one of the most important buildings of its kind in Schleswig-Holstein.
