One of the oldest parts of Flensburg with small alleys and pretty old buildings that form a symbiosis with modern buildings.. a short walk is worthwhile

A beautiful, historic steamer that still sails in the Flensburg Fjord... if you're lucky, the ship will be in the harbor as you walk past

This is a very well-maintained site of the former German police prison camp (1944). The pilgrimage route (3) runs right through it. A restroom is accessible.
