The Danish-German painter Emil Nolde (1867 - 1956) is a great celebrity in the region. His watercolours, with their expressive colours, made him one of the leading representatives of Expressionism. The historic Nolde Museum in Seebüll is located on the Danish border and can therefore also be combined with a trip to Denmark.

Flensburg

Flensburg is a lively port city with a rich cultural life and a varied shopping offer, which is all too often overlooked. Many Danes simply cross the border for soft drinks and tobacco without taking a closer look at Flensburg, which is a shame as the city really has something to offer.

Flensburg has an interesting history, beautiful buildings and good places to eat. The city was one of the few in northern Germany not to be destroyed during the Second World War, so you'll find many historic buildings from all stylistic periods. The historic city centre, which is influenced by Danish and German building culture, is a living testimony to Flensburg's 700-year history.

Flensburg is an old seafaring town built around the natural harbour at the end of Flensburg Fjord. Today the harbour is a lively area with plenty of eateries, museums and ships. The port is also steeped in history, which you can learn more about at the maritime museum, where all the texts are in English. It's clear everywhere that Flensburg has been under the Danish crown for a full 400 years. For example, many street names in the city are Danish.

Flensburg really is a paradise for anyone who likes to shop. Rotestrasse has about 500 shops with favourable prices for Danes. You'll also find several cosy back alleys and alleyways, which are particularly popular at Christmas time. Holmen with its beautiful old town houses is the pedestrian meeting point with several of the city's department stores.

Sylt

During your stay, a trip to the island of Sylt (south of Rømø) is a must. On the northern tip is the town of List and on the southern tip is Hörnum. Along the island there are beautiful white beaches, lovely dunes and interesting towns. The shape of the island has often changed over the years and is still changing. This of course over a long period of time and the island's current shape has only been around for about 400 years. Sylt used to be part of Denmark. Today there are about 12,000 inhabitants on Sylt. Sylt has 40 km of fine sandy beach and there are many exciting opportunities for activities, including swimming, beach gymnastics and more. In winter it is possible to visit a beach sauna. Try this special experience right on the beach!
