Altes Stahlwerk Hotel

Neumünster

Take a trip to the town of Neumünster, whose history as a monastery town on the Army Route dates back to 1130, and much of the old charm has been restored after the war, on the monastery island, along the River Schwale and in the town square with its pretty town houses, which also house cafés, beer halls and shops galore.

In Neumünster you can visit the bathing area, Das Bad am Stadtwald or go to the Tierpark, which is a zoo. The city also has a lovely promenade at the Einfelder See.

Here you'll find a great selection of clothing, accessories and footwear, elegant home goods and smart sportswear. Explore great brands and lots of new trends.

Bordesholm

Go on a cheap summer holiday south to Bordesholm, located in Schleswig-Holstein between Kiel and Neumünster. The surroundings of the town are characterised by forest, water and green meadows. The town lies on Lake Bordesholm, around which there is an excellent 6 km walking trail where you can relax along the way with a cup of coffee or a mug of beer.

The main symbol of Bordesholm's coat of arms is a large lime tree. This lime tree is 675 years old, 7 metres in diameter and stands in front of the monastery church in town, which is certainly worth a visit. The church has a beautiful altarpiece, a fine crucifix and a beautiful pulpit.

Bordesholm is also an ideal cycling area. There is very little traffic noise and space to enjoy the countryside. It is recommended to visit the town's tourist information office, where you can get a map of the area. In many places in the countryside you will come across cosy farm shops selling local produce. Find a cheap weekend break for the whole family and enjoy a family holiday with child-friendly hotels and plenty of experiences.

Kiel

Kiel has plenty to offer all year round. In summer, the city and harbour are really lively and there are great opportunities for swimming. In winter, the city hosts one of northern Germany's most popular Christmas markets, transforming the town square into a fairytale Christmas village. And at other times of the year, it's a great place for sightseeing, with everything from the 2. World War II history to the beautiful botanical gardens. Located on the Kielerfjord, Germany's largest ferry port is in Kiel, where maritime atmosphere and city life combine beautifully. Kiel is also one of the most popular shopping cities on the Baltic Sea with plenty of exciting boutiques. Take a stroll through the Old Town, where you can see St Nicholas' Church on Alter Markt with Ernst Barlach's figure of the Geistkämpfer. It's also worth visiting the Maritime Museum, housed in an old fish hall, and seeing the historic ships in the Museum Harbour.

Kiel Zoological Museum

Find a cheap family holiday to Schleswig-Holstein, and be sure to visit Kiel. Find child-friendly hotels at Risskov and decide how far south you want to go. One of the 'little' gems the city hides is the Kiel Zoological Museum. It is one of Germany's oldest natural history museums and houses unique collections of high scientific and cultural value. In fact, it dates back to the 1600s, but it was during the 1800s that it really developed into one of the most important zoological research institutes in Germany. Go on a car holiday in Germany and start with Schleswig-Holstein, which lends itself glitteringly to an adventure-filled self-drive holiday and set course for Kiel.

Botanical Garden Kiel

Kiel in northern Germany is certainly not a city to be underestimated, packed with history, an exciting harbour and perfect for a self-drive holiday in northern Germany. Take a family holiday to the area and find a cheap, child-friendly hotel with Risskov. Kiel's large beautiful botanical garden surrounds Christian Albrecht University. The garden has seven greenhouses, with all kinds of exciting and exotic plants, divided into climatic themes. At certain times of the year, you may also be lucky enough to see butterflies. Find cheap mini breaks and child-friendly hotels in the area at Risskov and enjoy a family holiday together in the exciting northern German city of Kiel.

Plön

When you arrive in Plön, the first thing you see is the beautiful castle: grand and snow-white, the beautiful building towers over the town. The Renaissance castle was built back in the 17th century and was the seat of the Dukes of Plön until 1761. In the 1800s, the castle was also the summer residence of Crown Prince Frederik, later Frederik VIII.

Rendsburg

Right in the middle of Schleswig-Holstein on the Kiel Canal lies Rendsburg. This exciting town has a lot to offer and is ideal for a family visit. The blue line, which is part of the cityscape, leads its guests on an approximately 3.2 km tour around the inner city past the most interesting places and buildings in Rendsburg. These include the Jewish Museum in the Dr. Bamberghus in Prinsessegade, which tells about the history and cultural history of the Jews in the German duchies, a very interesting exhibition that takes its visitors on a social and art historical journey through the life of the German Jews. Another stop on the Blue Line is Sankt Marienkirche, a medieval church built around 1330. The church is characterised by the Baroque baptismal font from the 18th century, the high altar and the royal box, dedicated to Frederik IV with very beautiful carved chairs and of course the high altar, created in 1647 by Henning Clausen. Another stop on the route is the Old Town Hall from 1566, which can be visited, but only with a guide. Also take a closer look at the old railway bridge.

Hamburg

The metropolis of Hamburg has great shopping, museums and gastronomy. A great way to experience Hamburg is from the sea, by jumping on a canal cruise - but of course we also recommend Hamburg from the land side when on holiday by car! An experience in Hamburg beyond the classic city pleasures is a trip to the city's fish market, which sells fish of course, but also cheap clothes, houseplants and DVDs. The first stalls open at 5.30am in summer and 7am in winter.

Hamburg is Germany's second largest city and both economically and culturally the centre of the whole of northern Germany. It is seven times larger than Paris and more than twice the size of London. In short, this means that the city offers particularly good conditions for tourists. Hamburg is a beautiful city full of charming areas and, not least, an excellent nightlife that is unmissable on a city break or a self-drive holiday in northern Germany.
