Schleswig-Holstein likes to call itself the land between the seas, and indeed there is hardly a better destination for people who like sea air around their noses than the state in Germany's north. With around 330 kilometers of coastline on the Baltic Sea and another 200 kilometers on the North Sea, Schleswig-Holstein offers plenty of space for beach vacations, not to mention the islands on both sides. Gentle, often wide landscapes, marshland and fertile soils characterize the picture in the interior, where Flensburg, Kiel, Lübeck and many other cities are further highlights waiting to be visited.
