Things to see
Haitabu - Open Air Viking Museum
haithabu.de
Castle Gottorf that houses the schleswig Holstein museum, it pretty good has the germanica 3,000 year old long ship, some dead blokes head from Roman times and a globe... and hold art installs
schloss-gottorf.de
bit further up the road, castle gluecksburg,
www.schloss-gluecksburg.de
I might be able to get a brewery tour organised for the northern most and still privately owner brewery in Germany
the spring and winter brock beers.... my god they just do some exceptional damage
the gold is a lovely light easy beer for the summer.... and the strand (beach) beer.... is also very morish
www.flens.de
Laboe U-Boat and naval memorial
en.wikipedia.org
but the stone where Harold Blutooth was confirmed into christianity is in Schleswig Holstein (not danemark that's the jelling stone)
the poppen stein (pope stone) as mentioned in his official records, the site of Harold Blutooth Becoming a christian then going on to unite the Viking tribes....
the jelling stone isn't that away... but in Danemark
en.wikipedia.org
and if your going there, then that's a really another trip as the tivoli gardens are lovely and the hippy part of danemark is something else which does have a motorcycle connection
en.wikipedia.org
nearby in Schleswig Holstein are the Danewerk fortifications, it's the oldest fortification of it's kind known as the Valdmar Wall.... fought over for over 1,000 years
haithabu-danewerk.de
danevirkemuseum.de
day trip Husum for (fish brot) fish bread.... a local staple meal.... and look at Thoedore Storms House (well small) but there's a pub nearby....
bit of information
en.wikipedia.org
www.sh-tourismus.de
big sky to the light house at Westerhever, be prepared for seeing loads of nothing.....
Idstedter Raeuber hoehle (neolithic thing, was later used by the Idstedter robbers to hide their stash)

or have lunch here
www.odins-haddeby.de

www.wikingerschaenke.de
or other places cos they all do food..... like Cafe Hansen in Friedrichstadt for Flammenkuchen (flame bake, sort of german version of pizza) which is rather good....
and have a trip out to Friedrichstadt which is just odd and not at all what you would expect to find
cos it looks like little holland
www.friedrichstadt.de
We'll also have our canoes there as we're going to run, the first Viking Adventure.... so while I might be busy for abit if you need to have a go on canoe that also an option...
Schleswig Holstein is very quiet, there's loads of nothing which will take ages to see....
there's also a schwebe bahn with a cafe nearby and you can just watch the world float past.
www.brueckenterrassen.de
I'll also check when Kieler Woche is, there's usually a good display of tall ships... and you know yo-ho-ho sailing and other stuff.... like booze and fireworks
www.kieler-woche.de
ther's also the Holsteiner Alps.... it;s a small area near Ploen... rather nice wriggly roads, loads of bikers buzz about there... kinda dangerous...
not so sure about that area, I've been through it... didn't really stop the castle is next to the very germanly named "great ploen lake"... as it's big and next to ploen... ther's sight seeing boats there...
so if this is of interest drop a comment below and I'll start to talk with the different people get this more defined.
I will be busy running a eco challenge event, but that should sort itself out once I've pushed the button on it....
