The state capital of Schleswig-Holstein is called Kiel and lies on the right and left of the Kiel Fjord on the Baltic Sea. A holiday in Kiel is not only recommended for exploring the city, but also for wonderful excursions into the surrounding countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Kiel is known worldwide for the Kiel Week. Every year in June, ships from all over the world are drawn to the Kieler F\u00f6rde for the windjammer parade. Visitors from all over the world then come to the city and numerous events take place around the Kieler Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is also known for the Kiel Canal, which flows into the Kiel Fjord here. Ship lovers can see interesting ships at several observation points here. And for those who enjoy sailing themselves, the Kiel Fjord is a paradise for sailors. This is where the sailing competitions took place at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
