A brief detour to Sønderborg in neighboring Denmark is a must for its Viking castle, accessible in 1 hour and justified by historical Nordic ties. Return via the islands of Fehmarn and its iconic bridge, perfect for fishing and kitesurfing, with dedicated spots. End with the natural parks near Grube, like the Lauenburger Seenlandschaft for peaceful inland lakes.
