CHARACTERISTICS
Holstein Switzerland is located in the triangle between Kiel, Lübeck and Fehmarn. The tour described here leads almost exclusively along narrow and winding side roads through forests and meadows, past castles and manor houses to the beach at Hohwacht Bay. When the rapeseed blossoms in spring, the land between the seas shows its colourful side. The Probsteier Kortage take place every year from the end of July to the end of August.
