The former district railway line, candle making, and historic buildings and collections give Steinfeld a variety of ways to enjoy a stay. You can plan your visit around your preferred activity and interests: a walking or cycling route, a guided craft activity, or a look at local history.
Exploring the District Railway Trail
The former district railway line between Schleswig and Süderbrarup is a roughly 21-kilometre cycling and walking route through the Angeln landscape. Of this, 3.3 kilometres are in Steinfeld. Along this section, the route passes the former railway station and a rest area. The trail is shared by pedestrians and cyclists; horse riding is not permitted. The full length and the Steinfeld section offer different scales for planning a tour: you can focus on the local stretch or consider the route as a whole.
The MarktTreff Steinfeld is located right beside the Old District Railway Trail between Süderbrarup and Schleswig. It offers a 24/7 grocery store and regional products. If you plan to use the store to stock up, check what is currently available in advance, as retail offerings can change.
Crafts and Village History
At KerzenHuus in Steinfeld, you can make candles yourself. The activity takes place in a relaxed atmosphere with guidance. Alongside exploring the trail, this offers a hands-on activity centred on creating something of your own.
The thatched cottage at Hasselholzstraße 28 is a listed historic building dating from around 1800. This single-storey, gable-end timber-framed building has a half-hipped thatched roof. The Kius-Ulsnis-Steinfeld Village Museum contains objects from homes, farms, and craft businesses in Ulsnis and Steinfeld, including some items from the 17th and 18th centuries. The cottage tells the story of a single building; the museum brings together objects from different living and working environments and from two villages.
Steinfeld and the Wider Region
Steinfeld is about five kilometres from the Baltic Sea fjord Schlei. The area has holiday accommodation and opportunities for herring fishing. This regional context adds a connection to the Schlei to the local themes, as well as information that may help when choosing where to stay.
In the wider Schleswig-Flensburg destination, the district offers well-maintained cycling and hiking trails, as well as beaches, sailing waters, forests, and golf courses. The landscape of Schlei Nature Park is also part of this wider setting: it includes gentle hills, forests, hedgerow landscapes, rapeseed and grain fields, sandy beaches, and bathing coves. The brackish waters of the Schlei provide a habitat for numerous endangered bird species.
The cultural heritage of the wider Schleswig-Flensburg destination includes Haithabu and the Danevirke, which have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 2018. More than 25 kilometres of the Danevirke rampart are still preserved today. Alongside local discoveries in Steinfeld, you can also explore regional landscapes and history, without confusing them with what the village itself offers.
