Taarstedt

Taarstedt is a rural destination with expansive fields and forests near the Baltic Sea fjord Schlei. You can go canoeing and experience stand-up paddleboarding on the Loiter Au. On land, cycling and hiking trails offer further options; in Süderholz, a walk becomes a journey of discovery. This gives you a choice of different activities: time on the water, a cycling route or exploring on foot.

On the water and on land

The Loiter Au offers a place to get in and out of the water in the village district of Scholderup. There are places to sit, benches and restroom facilities. These facilities are permanent; check local access arrangements before travelling. If you choose to make paddling the focus of your day, Scholderup is a clearly identified starting point. Canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding take you onto the Loiter Au, while cycling and hiking offer other options.

Cycling and hiking

The Alte Kreisbahntrasse is a 24.1-kilometre cycling route between Schleswig and Süderbrarup. Taarstedt also has other cycling and hiking trails. These offer different points of reference for your plans: a named route with a specific length, and other trails for cycling or walking trips. Trail conditions may vary seasonally. So if you are planning a particular trip, it is worth checking the conditions before setting off.

Small features are hidden on tree trunks in Süderholz. This turns a walk into a discovery tour: as you walk, you can look out for the trunks and search for the features together. If you are travelling with children, you can also turn the walk into a little treasure hunt. The installations may change.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel plans

If you want to focus on the water, plan around the opportunities on the Loiter Au and the place to get in and out of the water in Scholderup. For cycling stages, the 24.1-kilometre Alte Kreisbahntrasse provides a specific route; for trips on foot, consider Taarstedt’s trails and the features in Süderholz. Compare the location of each accommodation option with the activities you actually plan to do, and check access arrangements at the water entry and exit point before travelling. This lets you tailor your search to the experiences you choose for your stay.

Culture in the wider destination of Schleswig-Flensburg

The wider destination of Schleswig-Flensburg offers another perspective: Haithabu and the Danewerk have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018. More than 25 kilometres of the Danewerk rampart still remain today. The historic memorial site and Idstedt Museum provide information about German-Danish history surrounding the uprising of 1848 and the Battle of Idstedt. These topics add a cultural dimension to activities in Taarstedt. When planning, you can decide whether you are mainly interested in paddling, cycling and walks, or whether you would also like to include places of regional historical interest in Schleswig-Flensburg.
