Beside the seaside - healthy breaks in Schleswig-Holstein

At last you're by the sea - stroll down to the beach, take a deep breath and feel how your skin and lungs benefit from the effects of water, sunlight and the sea air! Nowhere else are the elements so close at hand as in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's northernmost holiday region. The climate here is healthy, and you're bound to find a fitness treatment or feel-good activity to suit you, whatever you're looking for.

What would Schleswig-Holstein be without the North Sea and the Baltic? As well as being great holiday destinations, Schleswig-Holstein's coastlines do wonders for your health. The pure air and temperate climate are a tonic in themselves - bracing on the North Sea and slightly milder on the Baltic coast. Schleswig-Holstein's health-giving activities are water-based, ranging from the sea, surf, lakes and adventure pools for exercise and swimming to sea-water inhalations and thalassotherapy treatments. Water massages the skin and boosts the immune system and circulation - plus it's a great beauty treatment. Why not treat yourself to a healthy break?
