Dreamlike landscapes, confident regions with their own distinct history, venerable witnesses of the past, and more than 1000 kilometers of coastline. This combination attracts over four million visitors each year to the land between the North and Baltic Seas, making Schleswig-Holstein one of the most popular holiday destinations in Germany, with its open-minded yet tradition-conscious people. Here, culture merges with nature: the North Sea coast in the west, the Baltic Sea coast in the east, the Geest and hilly terrain in the center, and the proximity to Denmark in the north give the region a unique character and make it a sought-after film location. Schleswig-Holstein has always been a hub of the North - as a land bridge between Central Europe and Scandinavia and as a springboard into the Baltic Sea region. The photos by Melitta Kolberg showcase the land in its most beautiful light.
