Arnis
Germany's smallest 'town' by population, on a peninsula in the Schlei. A single street lined with linden trees leads to a boatyard and church.
Arnis has only about 300 residents, yet it has town status and is often called Germany's smallest town. In the 17th century, a group of residents who refused to submit to their landlords moved to this peninsula and established the town. The town is essentially a single main street lined with linden trees on both sides. At its end stands a 17th-century seamen's church. Along the shore are a boatyard and a pier. The atmosphere is quiet and simple. Enjoy cake at a local café, then take a small ferry across the bay. Arnis is about 30 kilometers from Schleswig and is often combined with a visit to Kappeln.
