Stage description
The first stage begins with beautiful beech forest and proximity to the Förde and then the charming old town of Flensburg, but is unfortunately also characterised by a lot of asphalt and, after a lean stretch in the middle area, only towards the end by more attractive scenery again.
The route begins at the German-Danish border near Kupfermühle, initially running parallel to the often-mentioned escalator up to the hotel parking lot, then through Alte Zollstraße and Karlsbergweg to Neuwaldeck-Straße through a beautiful beech forest. It then follows a trail and forest paths down to Wasserslebener Bay. Continue directly along the fjord toward the south, first through residential areas, then through Neustadt and the Old Town to the tip of the Flensburg harbor.
From there, head across the harbor embankment and up a flight of stairs to Erlenweg. Here, it becomes clear: Flensburg is not on flat land. Following Erlenweg, you reach a more urban stretch along Bismarckstraße and in Sandberg, before the route becomes greener again along Johannisallee and the park in front of the train station. You cross the railroad tracks on the road bridge. Then the route runs parallel to the railroad on quiet, shaded paths to the Waldorf School. It inevitably continues through an industrial park and then onto Jarplunder Weg, where there is a striking amount of tractor traffic.
From Jarplund to Munkwolstrup it becomes quieter and also more scenic. Soon after Munkwolstrup, you pass Arnkielpark with a restored megalithic tomb. Then you cross the L 317, formerly the B76, and reach Lake Sanklemark, which you circle clockwise 1/4 of the way. The route continues south along a field path to Oeversee.
Because the first two stages are quite long and Flensburg and Schleswig have a lot to offer that you can't take in if you walk from morning to night, you could consider staying in one of the towns and dividing the two stages into three, for example Kupfermühle - Jarplund, Jarplund - Sieverstedt and Sieverstedt - Schleswig. There is a good bus connection from Flensburg via Jarplund and Sieverstedt to Schleswig, even at weekends.
