Leisure time activities

The Ostholstein region is particularly well-known for its kilometre-long Baltic Sea beaches and the Holstein Switzerland.

Fascinating nature, defined by romantic lakes, forests teaming with game, bizarrely formed jagged coastlines and hilly inland regions offer a calming pole to the flamboyance of the boardwalks and piers along the coast. The varied landscape has made the hearts of holiday-goers beat faster for many years now.

Aside from many interesting recreational facilities, the cultural programme is also well represented: museums and art galleries, concerts and theatrical shows, open-air performances held directly on the beach and numerous festivals in the individual locations are perfect for locals and guests and make Ostholstein to one of the leading tourism regions in Germany.
