Schleswig-Holstein
Schleswig-Holstein is home to many beacons, and in more than one sense of the word. Many companies and research institutions are beacons of science and business as they are developing the technologies of the future. At the same time, you can discover many actual beacons and lighthouses as you walk along its 1,190 kilometres of coastline. If you feel like socialising, you’ll enjoy events such as the Kiel Week, the largest sailing event in the world, or the Wacken Open Air heavy metal festival.
