Schleswig-Holstein is the northern most state of Germany. It borders Denmark to the north, Hamburg to the southwest, Lower Saxony (German state) to the south and southeast and Mecklenburg -Vorpommern (German state) to the east. Having northwest coastlines on the North Sea and also northeast coastlines on the Baltic Sea and many small islands as well, it is a very popular retreat for tourists wishing to go to the beach and enjoy the maritime life.
Unlike south Germany, the homes here are of red brick and typical are the “Reetdachhäuser” which are homes with straw covered roofs. One sees all over many black and white Holstein cows grazing in the fields and in May yellow fields of rape flowers can be seen in all directions. The climate is mild, yet windy, along the coasts and often doctors prescribe patients a small wellness trip to this area because the air is supposed to have a healing effect for those with bronchial sicknesses.
