Some information about...

Flensburg lies near the German-Danish border at the end of the approximately 35 km long Flensburg Fjord.
400,000 Germans and Danes live in the immediate neighbourhood with 85,000 in Flensburg itself.
Numerous attractions make Flensburg a popular tourist spot for many German and foreign visitors. It is worth walking through this lively town with its distinctive architecture, simply to look at the extensive restoration of the old town.
Flensburg is one of the few towns not destroyed during the Second World War. This means that a large number of historic buildings from various periods are still standing. The historic “Old Town”, characteristically German and Danish in its architecture, bears witness to Flensburg’s 700-year-old history.

You can read more about the history of Flensburg and You can find any other information about the town on the official website of Flensburg.

Beautiful impressions. Perhaps the best-known place in Germany although hardly anyone was there
