The cabin has two electrical outlets for charging e-bikes or mobile phones! Very clean and well-maintained swimming area with fitness equipment, a barbecue, and a shelter. Well done!

One of the four historical runestones around Haithabu... a translation helps in understanding the text.

The narrow path along the Schlei leads past reeds and small sandy beaches. Throughout the walk, there are beautiful views of Schleswig and St. Peter's Cathedral.

The castle houses Schleswig-Holstein's most important museums and is integrated into a variety of cultural events. In addition to changing exhibitions (including contemporary artists), theater performances are held in the courtyard at irregular intervals, as are concerts. The entire area and a large number of the interior rooms are accessible to visitors. Part of the castle's original furnishings have been preserved and can be viewed as part of the museum tours. Particularly noteworthy are the festive Hirschsaal (Deer 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.
