Schlei Boat Trip
Schleifahrt
Boat trips from Schleswig's city harbor along the 40-plus-kilometer Schlei, passing Haithabu, small fishing villages, and reed-lined shores.
The Schlei is a narrow Baltic fjord that reaches about 42 kilometers inland, with reeds, fields, and red-brick villages along its shores. In summer, several boat routes depart from Schleswig's city harbor. A short loop around the bay takes about an hour. There are also ferries to and from the Haithabu Viking Museum. Longer routes continue to Arnis and Kappeln and even to the Schleimünde Lighthouse at the mouth of the bay. Drinks and snacks are sold on board. Check the operator's timetable for departure times. Service stops in winter.
