Youth Trips in Schleswig

The Flensburg Fjord is also emblematic of the natural character of Schleswig’s Baltic coast. One of the most popular watersports and sailing areas on Germany’s Baltic coast, it offers numerous opportunities not only to enjoy sailing and windsurfing, but also to learn them. The area known as the “Danish South Sea”—a watersports region among the southwestern Danish islands, characterized by numerous bays and small islands—is just a stone’s throw away.
Not far from the two Baltic Sea resorts of Gelting and Maasholm, the Schlei meets the sea. This narrow, fjord-like waterway cuts almost halfway across the Schleswig region, and the town of Schleswig, which gives the region its name, lies at its head. Here, two outstanding reminders of this historically rich Baltic region are the old Viking settlement of Haithabu and the Danewerk, a historic defensive rampart. This makes the region a popular destination for children’s and youth trips that offer both relaxation and educational value.

Numerous providers of children’s and youth trips have established themselves along the westernmost part of Schleswig’s Baltic coast, often developing a distinctive profile over many years, with a focus on areas such as agriculture, the environment or education. The northernmost stretch of Germany’s Baltic coast is also home to many holiday centres run by associations or special-interest groups for children and young people. In many respects, Schleswig is therefore an ideal region for a relaxing and enriching holiday stay for children’s and youth groups on Germany’s Baltic coast.
