Maps and trails
Geographically, Selk is located on the southern edge of the Hüttener Berge Nature Park and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape of rolling hills and green forests. Its proximity to the Baltic Sea makes it an ideal place for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or water sports.

Tourist attractions

Selk has many tourist attractions to offer. One of the highlights is Gottorf Castle in Schleswig (about 20 minutes away), an impressive residence of the Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf with museums and art exhibitions.

Another highlight is the Viking houses of Haithabu (about 25 minutes away). Here visitors can gain an insight into the life of the Vikings and learn more about their culture.

Cultural Highlights & Events

In Selk there are also cultural highlights such as the annual Christmas market on the Oestergaard estate or the "Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival" theatre festival, which takes place every summer.

Culinary specialities

Those who like to try regional specialities should definitely try a traditional Frisian pastry called "Fliederbeersuppe" (lilac berry soup) or try fresh Baltic fish - both can be found in many restaurants and cafés in the region.

Outdoor activities & best seasons

The area around Selk is perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or water sports. The best time for this is in spring and summer, when the temperatures are pleasant and nature is full of life. Hikes through the Hüttener Berge Nature Park or a boat trip on the Schlei are particularly recommended.

What to do if it rains?

Even if it rains, there is plenty to do in Selk! One recommendation would be the Museum Kunstwerk Carlshütte (approx. 30 minutes away), which houses contemporary art exhibitions.

Where is it most beautiful?

A special highlight is certainly the Oestergaard estate with its historic manor house, extensive park and a lake for swimming or fishing. Here you can relax wonderfully and enjoy the idyllic atmosphere.

Selk, Schleswig-Flensburg - a destination definitely worth a trip!

    Tolle Tour. Auf Ostseite geht es auf und ab, auch über Stufen. Für Kinderwagen und Co wird es dort schwieriger.

    Vor einigen Jahren wurde der E6 im Wendland großräumig verlegt. Die gezeigte Strecke entspricht daher nicht mehr der Markierung vor Ort. Im Übrigen kann ich den E6 gerade im Wendland wärmstens empfehlen.

    Die Brücke zwischen Selker und Haddebyer Noor kann bei Hochwasser schon mal unpassierbar sein. Oder aber man zieht, so wie wir, die Schuhe aus und watet einfach durch das Wasser. Sitzbänke findet man sowohl vor, als auch hinter der Brücke.

    Zu allen Jahreszeiten eine landschaftlich reizvolle Wanderung. Der Rundweg ist leider nicht barrierefrei, denn die Brücke im südlichen Teil ist nur über eine Treppe zu überwinden. Im nordöstlichen Teil, direkt an der Bundesstraße B 76, liegt die Kriegsgräberstätte Karberg; dort gibt es einen kleinen Parkplatz, von wo aus man die Rundwanderung ebenfalls starten kann, und dort befindet sich auch eine öffentliche, barrierefreie WC-Anlage. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrenfriedhof_am_Haddebyer_Noor
