Blumenthal

Blumenthal's geographical location is unique, as it is situated directly on the canal, making it an important hub for shipping traffic. The town is also surrounded by picturesque forests and lakes, which allow outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or fishing.

There are many sights for tourists to discover. The shipping museum shows the history of the canal as well as shipping in an impressive way. The Preetz Monastery from the 13th century is also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights are also plentiful: Numerous music and theatre festivals take place in the summer, including the renowned Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival with concerts at various venues in the region.

For those who want to indulge in culinary delights, be sure to try local specialities - for example, smoked eel or labskaus (a traditional dish of potatoes and meat). You can enjoy these delicacies in the city's cosy restaurants.

Outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In spring, the cherry trees around Blumenthal are in bloom - a breathtaking sight! Summer invites you to swim in the nearby lake or take a boat trip on the canal. In autumn, mushrooms can be hunted or kites can be flown, and in winter the snow-covered landscape provides a dreamy backdrop for sledging.

Even if it should rain, there is plenty to do: The maritime museum is worth a visit even in bad weather, and you can relax with a hot drink in the city's cosy cafés.

Where is the most beautiful? It's hard to say, because Blumenthal has many beautiful corners - from the picturesque old town to the banks of the Kiel Canal. However, a walk along the water or through the Preetz Monastery are particularly recommended.
