Harbor idylls on the SchleiThe evening series "Der Landarzt" made the Schlei, a sea inlet between Angeln and Schwansen, the epitome of a picture-perfect landscape on the fjord coast. Dreamlike shots, accompanied by violin sounds – a watercourse amid fields and meadows in the summer sun, a windmill, and a dreamy little town: Deekelsen. A town by this name does not actually exist; the locations are spread out at the most beautiful places in the region. However, the main filming location is Kappeln: Here you can find the town hall and the harbor – our starting point –, the school, and the weekly market where fresh goods are always available at fair prices. Asmussen's pub is located in the pedestrian zone of Kappeln in the Hotel Aurora, and the film pastor Eckholm preaches in the stately late Baroque brick building of St. Nicholas Church. Our Schlei exploration tour takes us from the "Deekelsen" harbor to the picturesque island town of Arnis, where after visiting the Skippers' Church, we cross to the other side of the Schlei with a small motor ferry.
