The Fördestieg from Glücksburg: Hiking straight from the lodge

The Fördestieg is a waymarked long-distance trail running along the Flensburg Fjord from the Danish border at Kupfermühle all the way to the Schlei estuary. Glücksburg sits right in the middle, making the Ostseelodges a natural base for day hikes or multi-day stages. Guests walk out the door and onto the trail.

Summer on the Flensburg Fjord: Why a Lodge in Glücksburg Is the Right Base

Glücksburg sits at the northernmost tip of the Flensburg Fjord, just a few kilometres from the Danish border. In summer the town combines Baltic swimming, forest paths and a distinctly Danish atmosphere in a compact area.
