Janneby: Village Character and Rural Paths

Janneby lies on the edge of the Jerrisbek Valley, between meadows and fields. East of the municipality, the Jerrisbek follows a winding riverbed. Together with small paths, mature chestnut and beech trees, and old barns and farmsteads, this gives the area its rural character. When choosing where to stay, Janneby offers concrete points of reference in its landscape, opportunities for activity and village life.

Out and About on Small Paths

The many small paths around Janneby offer opportunities for hiking, riding and cycling. These three activities let you choose how you would like to spend time outdoors: on foot, in the saddle or by bike. If you also want to choose your stay based on the kind of activity you have in mind, these paths provide clear guidance.

Village Character and Past Uses

Mature chestnut and beech trees stand alongside old barns and farmsteads. This combination shapes the village character and adds distinctive features of the area to the landscape of valleys, meadows and fields. In the past, Janneby Moor supplied local residents with peat. This former use adds a historical dimension to the natural landscape: the moor was also a source of a material used in everyday life.

Süderzollhaus and the B 200

The district of Süderzollhaus lies directly on the B 200 between Husum and Flensburg, a road with through traffic. If you take the location into account when looking for accommodation, you can factor this into your decision. In Janneby, both the rural surroundings and a specific roadside location can therefore help guide your choice of where to stay.

In the Wider Schleswig-Flensburg Destination

The wider Schleswig-Flensburg destination offers everything from nature observation to history and leisure activities. This regional perspective adds another dimension to choosing where to stay if you are weighing up different priorities for your trip.

Haithabu and the Danewerk have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018. More than 25 kilometres of the Danewerk rampart still remain today. In Idstedt, the historic memorial site and museum provide information about German-Danish history surrounding the uprising of 1848 and the Battle of Idstedt. Alongside the natural landscape, visitors can therefore choose to explore historical sites and their stories as part of the region.

Covering a total area of 773 hectares, Geltinger Birk is the largest nature reserve in the Schleswig-Flensburg district. It has well-developed paths and guided walks that share information about flora and fauna. More than 130 bird species can be observed on Holnis, including around 65 breeding species. These examples offer different experiences: guided nature exploration in Geltinger Birk and birdwatching on Holnis.

The wider Schleswig-Flensburg destination also offers leisure activities and opportunities to get active. The Tolk-Schau family and leisure park features rides, playgrounds, park trains, fairytale huts and more than 100 life-size dinosaurs. For cycling, the 25-kilometre SchleiUferTörn is a circular route around the central part of the Schlei, starting in Arnis. The Schlei Nature Park also offers guided nature tours; the Viking-Frisian Way, the Ox Road and 15 signposted themed cycling routes lead through the landscape.
