About Schleswig-Holstein
This is one of the flattest parts of Germany and it is culturally very close toDenmark, and to otherNordic countries. Schleswig belonged to Denmark until the war of 1864 when it came underPrussianand later German control. AfterWorld War ISchleswig was divided into a northern (Danish) and a southern (German) part; however a Danish minority remains on the German side and vice versa. Some of Germany's most popular vacation destinations are in Schleswig-Holstein, and every year millions of Southern Germans come here to enjoy the landscape, the beaches and the unique climate that is supposedly a cure against many ailments. While big cities are notably absent, Kiel and Lübeck both have their charms, especially theHanseatic heritageof Lübeck. TheNationalpark Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeerhas
