Glücksburg

The Baltic Sea spa town of Glücksburg was established on the site of a former Cistercian monastery. The present-day royal families of Denmark and Norway descend from the noble House of Glücksburg. Glücksburg Castle, one of the finest castles in the north, was once a royal Danish summer residence and is therefore the main attraction in Germany’s northernmost mainland town. The Rosarium, opened in 1991, lies right beside the castle.
The Baltic Sea spa town of Glücksburg is situated on the Flensburg Inner Fjord, with sheltered sandy beaches and views across to the Danish coast. Glücksburg’s Hanseatic Yacht School is Germany’s oldest sailing school, located—as you might expect—in one of the country’s most popular sailing areas, from which the “Danish South Sea” is also easily accessible. The nature reserve on the Holnis peninsula has become an ideal windsurfing paradise. The “Alexandra,” Germany’s only seagoing saloon steamer, is based in Glücksburg. The harbor is also the departure point for boat trips to Denmark, which offers several interesting destinations for day trips, particularly in the border region.
The Artefact Powerpark, the Menke Planetarium and, last but not least, the Fördeland-Therme have all proved to be true paradises for children in the Baltic Sea spa town of Glücksburg.
