Summer fun in the borderland: Discover Flensburg’s free activities!
The summer holidays are just around the corner and the Flensburg region and North Frisia offer a wealth of free and inexpensive activities for young and old. How NDR reports, various events invite you to linger and discover this picturesque border region.
A real highlight is the fourth Flensburg Fairy Tale Summer, which begins on June 30, 2024. Every Sunday at 4 p.m. a different narrator tells fairy tales from all over the world on the meadow next to the water tower in Flensburg. Admission is free and the series of events is barrier-free. On the first evening of fairy tales, Sylvia Wieland tells, among other things, “Then he heard a song that was so lovely that he stopped and listened.” This magical summer lasts until September 29, 2024, and numerous stories that stimulate the imagination await visitors on various dates. For example, on June 29th, Annette Schmeling will talk about making wishes.
