For those living in Germany, Schleswig-Holstein is also known as the land between the seas. It is located between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and is the northernmost state of Germany. It has a special flair due to its location, its landscapes and its climate.
When travelling through the state, one notices also some Scandinavian and viking influence in the architecture and in many of the town names. Major cities in Schleswig-Holstein include Kiel (which is the capitol city), the beautiful city of Lübeck (known also for its famous marzipan) and Flensburg (the coastal city and harbour just before Denmark). Castles can be found as well, for example at Glücksburg and Plön and also one can see “Moorleichen” (mummies) that were preserved since centuries in the marshlands.
