Maps and trails

Linau's geographical location is ideal for outdoor activities of all kinds. Hikers can explore the picturesque forests and hills, while cyclists can enjoy the surroundings on the well-marked paths. Especially in spring and summer, it is worth exploring the green landscape.

But Linau also has a lot to offer culturally. St. Peter's Church is an impressive example of North German brick Gothic and well worth a visit. The local history museum also provides insights into the history of the village.

For culinary connoisseurs, we definitely recommend a tasting of the regional speciality: the red fruit jelly dessert with vanilla sauce or a hearty portion of Labskaus - both absolute delicacies!

If the weather doesn't cooperate, you can retreat to the local swimming pool or take a trip to Hamburg - only 30 minutes away.

But it's especially nice in good weather at the idyllic Großensee or during a walk through the romantic district of Bliestorf.

Linau is definitely worth a trip! With this travel guide you are well prepared for your stay in this enchanting town in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein.
