A public canoe launch point on the Treene, seasonally changing art and several forms of horse riding give Sollerup concrete points to consider when planning a trip. At the same time, the village is linked to the Büschauer State Forest, the Jerrisbek and the Treene Valley. Those choosing a destination based on landscape, culture or activities can consider these highlights separately.
Nature, Culture and Horse Riding in Sollerup
Sollerup’s nature-oriented landscape is connected with the Büschauer State Forest, the Jerrisbek and the Treene Valley. Those choosing a destination based on its landscape can find three points of interest here. Other local themes complement this perspective in different ways: the gallery adds a cultural touch, while horse-riding activities offer a distinct focus on activity.
The gallery in the Malerkate hosts seasonally changing exhibitions, mainly by artists from Schleswig-Holstein. Exhibitions have been held there since 1988. For art enthusiasts, this is a distinct highlight alongside nature and activities. Since the programme changes seasonally, the timing of your visit is relevant when planning. Check in advance which exhibition will be on display during your visit.
Horse-riding activities include riding for children and ring riding, as well as competitive equestrian sport. Facilities include an indoor riding arena, a competition ground and outdoor grounds. Those factoring horse riding into their choice of destination can take this range of activities into account: the offer is not limited to a single form, but includes riding for children and ring riding as well as competitive equestrian sport.
Canoe Launch and Rest Stop on the Treene
There is a public canoe launch point with a rest area on the Treene, directly below the road bridge. Facilities include an information board, seating and steps for launching canoes. A toilet is a few hundred metres away in the direction of Sollerup. This location makes a practical difference when planning: the rest area and launch point are at the launch site, while the toilet is farther along towards Sollerup. It may be useful to briefly check the condition of the facilities before your visit.
Schleswig-Flensburg as a Wider Region
The wider destination of Schleswig-Flensburg offers its own nature and cultural themes that add to the picture of the region. Haithabu and the Danevirke have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018; more than 25 kilometres of the Danevirke rampart still remain. The Geltinger Birk covers 773 hectares and is the largest nature reserve in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg. The Schlei Nature Park features gentle hills, forests, hedgerow landscapes, rapeseed and grain fields, sandy beaches and bathing bays; the Schlei’s brackish-water areas provide a habitat for numerous endangered bird species. More than 130 bird species can be observed on Holnis, including about 65 breeding species. These examples offer an additional regional perspective on history and landscape. The Idstedt Memorial and Museum also explore German-Danish history surrounding the 1848 uprising and the Battle of Idstedt.
