Nice little hilly road, little traffic.

This incline and the one curve that could be interpreted as a serpentine immediately give you that Alpine feeling 😄

The castle houses Schleswig-Holstein's most important museums and is involved in a wide range of cultural events. In addition to changing exhibitions (including those by contemporary artists), theater performances in the courtyard and concerts are held at irregular intervals. The entire grounds and many of the interior rooms are open to visitors. Some of the castle's original furnishings have been preserved and can be viewed as part of the museum tours. Of particular note are the festive Hirschsaal (Stag Hall) from 1591 and the two-story Renaissance chapel. The castle is considered the most important secular building in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.

At the beginning of 1945, more and more refugees from the eastern territories of the German Reich arrived in Schleswig, their number rising to almost 18,000 by the summer. Gottorf, like many of the country's residences, was used as a temporary reception camp, and several hundred refugees were housed in the castle.[31] In the post-war period, the entire complex was made available to the Schleswig-Holstein State Museums from 1948 onwards.
