This museum is excellent. It has a real viking ship in the side building and various items from big preserved people to armor to ceramics to African Art to Asian items. The building itself looks Ok from the outside but nothing special but the contents are amazing

Great place. The museum has well laid out, interactive exhibits with good descriptions etc; they have the local rune stones and a Viking ship amongst other things. The highlight though is the reconstructed bit of the town which is fab and very atmospheric. There's also a lot of info about the Danewerk and you can walk along sections of it around the museum and heading off into -and beyond -Busdorf. It's all well signed with descriptions and info along the way. A good visit, especially but not exclusively for anyone with an interest in the Vikings and the history of the Danes. Nice cafe and the museum shop sells lots of attractive things!
3. St. Peter's Cathedral (Dom)

This church has evolved over the centuries and this is how it feels. The outside looks a bit like Siena, with brickwork in stripes, but has a Romanesque doorway at the side and a close which feels like that of an English Cathedral, except that the buildings look Danish. Inside it is an amazing mixture of decorated, painted, vaulted ceiling, Baroque pictures, an absolutely mind-blowing wooden altar piece and cloisters which have paintings on the ceilings of grosteque creatures which are half man, half beast. There is also an extremely strange stone gargoyle in the cloisters.
Allow yourself time to take all this in!

We visited this small medieval fishing village during a trip from Kiel. We were unfortunately a little late and the local businesses were closed. At the centre of the village is a small chapel/church and cemetery. Brightly coloured, well kept small houses surround the square and some roads radiate from this point. The quiet serenity of the area provided a very pleasant environment. The area on the opposite side of the main road to the historical village centre also has some small shops in nice narrow streets and alleyways, worth wandering through.

A special exhibition at the State Museum in Schleswig (in Schleswig-Holstein) is that of the photography of Art Wolfe, an American. He has photographed places all of us wish we could see ourselves, and the depth and realism of these photographs is outstanding. Breathtaking sites, incredible images! Wildlife, panoramas, even arrangements of people and animals that create an abstract. Note: this review is of the special exhibition that ends October 30, 2016, and not of the museum itself; my one criticism is that the museum's lighting of the exhibit caused too many distracting reflections.

8. Tarbeker Moor

Das Tarbeker Moor ist nicht natürlichen Ursprungs - es resultierte aus der Re-Naturierung des Torfabbaus um die Jahrhundertwende. Das ist hier sehr gut gelungen so hat sich eine einzigartige Fauna und Flora angesiedelt. Durch die Einfassung durch den Wald eignet sich die Runde eigentlich für jedes Wetter und Jahreszeit. An jdem Eck öffnet das Moor neue faszinierende Ausblicke.
Grundsätzlich gilt es zu beachten das hier wie auch in der gesamten Region die Wege recht schnell aufweichen wenn es regnet. Der Grundwasserspiegel verläuft extrem flach in der Region (Spatenstichtiefe) was zur Folge hat das Wasser lange steht da es nicht ablaufen kann. Die Wege um das Moor herum werden zudem noch von Forst- und Landwirtschaft sowie von Reiter und Mountainbikern genutzt was die Wege leider nicht besser macht. So befindet sich der Rundweg ums Moos streckenweise in einem schlechte Zustand. Sollten die Wetterbedingungen entsprechend sein sind Gummistiefel oder hohe wasserfeste Wanderschuhe nicht übertrieben! Es lohnt sich allerdings. Die reine Runde um das Moor dauert bei moderatem Lauftempo etwa eine Stunde in Abhängigkeit davon wie oft man stehen bleibt.Um das Moor herum gibt es immer wieder Schautafeln welche die Geschichte des Moors und dessen Fauna und Flora anschaulich erläutern.
Tipp: Mittags bei Schulze-Hamann zu Tisch gehen (hervorragende lokale Küche) und von dort aus den Rund-Verdauungsspaziergang starten. Auf Absprache kann das Auto auf dem Restaurantparkplatz verbleiben - die Runde dauert dann etwa 2 Stunden.
