Discover Struxdorf

St. George’s Church gives Struxdorf a distinctive historical landmark, and the village lies within the boundaries of the Schlei Nature Park. Here, a specific building in the village meets the broader landscape of the nature park. When planning your trip, consider whether you want to focus mainly on Struxdorf itself or on several nature and culture themes across the wider destination of Schleswig-Flensburg.

The nature park and the Schlei landscape

Struxdorf is one of the municipalities within the Schlei Nature Park, Germany’s northernmost nature park. The Schlei stretches for more than 42 kilometres from Schleswig to its mouth on the Baltic Sea and is Schleswig-Holstein’s largest brackish-water area. The Schlei landscape includes gentle hills, beech forests and hedgerow landscapes. The calm waters of the Noore also serve an important ecological purpose: they are breeding, resting and wintering grounds for endangered bird species.

The landscape divisions within the nature park are also useful for getting your bearings: the area north of the Schlei is known as Angeln, while the area to the south belongs to Schwansen. The nature park lies predominantly in the Schleswig-Holstein Uplands. These different landscape settings give nature lovers more than one aspect to consider when planning their trip.

St. George’s Church: centuries of architectural history

St. George’s Church dates from around 1230. Its features include a late Romanesque fieldstone nave and a wooden bell tower from the 16th century. Its furnishings also span different periods: these include a Romanesque baptismal font, a Baroque altar by Nikolaus Heim from 1656 and the historic Marcussen organ from 1876. The building therefore offers a tangible point of interest for visitors interested in church architecture and historic furnishings.

Art and culture are also connected with Struxdorf: Atelier ANKA and Anders is associated with the address Bellig 4. If you are planning a visit, it is best to confirm it in advance. Weltkunst Angeln provides information about current projects and exhibitions.

Hiking and experiences in the wider region

For longer hikes, the Nature Park Hiking Trail offers a regional route through four nature parks in Schleswig-Holstein, covering 180 kilometres. Hikers can choose the full route or shorter stages and circular walks. Yellow arrows mark the trail in both directions; check the route and trail markings locally before setting off.

The wider Schlei and Baltic Sea region also offers a range of activities. Baltic Sea beaches and cliffs offer opportunities for swimming and hiking. The Schlei can be crossed at Missunde, Lindaunis, Arnis and Kappeln via bridges and ferries. If one of these crossings is part of your plans, check the relevant service information before setting out.

More highlights in the Schleswig-Flensburg destination

In the wider destination of Schleswig-Flensburg, cultural and family-friendly attractions complement the village’s profile. Haithabu and the Danevirke have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 2018. Tolk-Schau is a family theme park with rides, playgrounds, park trains, fairy-tale huts and more than 100 life-size dinosaurs. These attractions cover different interests: cultural history on the one hand, and a theme park with a wide range of attractions on the other.

Then choose the exact location of your accommodation based on the attractions you actually plan to visit.
