Discover Haselund: Outdoor pool, moorland and cycling route

Haselund offers some practical points to consider when choosing a place to stay: an outdoor swimming pool near the primary school, everyday essentials at the MarktTreff, and a cycling route through moorland. The farmland is also part of the local landscape. Those considering a trip to Haselund can weigh up swimming, cycling and the area’s distinctive landscapes.

Moorland and cycling route

Haselund’s farmland is used as grassland, with fodder maize also grown. The Kollunder Moor, known beyond Haselund’s boundaries, offers a different aspect of the landscape. Farmland and moorland thus stand side by side as distinct features of the area.

The cycling route runs through Kollunder Moor and on through the Brook moorland area. It also heads towards Kollundfeld through scenery described as picturesque. The route includes a stop at a biotope. For orientation, the route passes along Schulstraße and Brooker Straße, then crosses Federal Highway 200 towards Haselundfeld. Check the current signs and road conditions before setting out, as both can change.

Outdoor swimming for summer

Haselund’s outdoor swimming pool is near the primary school. Its large pool has room for lap swimmers; there are also four diving blocks and a separate baby pool. The outdoor pool is a summer meeting place for exercise and relaxation, and is suitable for a family outing. If you are planning a visit, check the opening hours and current visitor information in advance.

Details about the pool and its different areas can help you work out what will suit your group: lap swimming, diving blocks and a dedicated baby pool are different features of the same outdoor pool. Its seasonal nature is important when planning a visit. It is therefore a good idea to check the opening hours before setting out.

Getting around the town

Haselund is right on Federal Highway 200, between Husum and Flensburg. Public transport serves the Haselund-Brook Wendeplatz stop. If you are planning to travel by bus and train, check the current timetable before deciding on your route.

The Spingeler grocery store was expanded into a MarktTreff offering everyday essentials. This provides a practical point of reference during your stay in the town. Retail details can change; if you need particular items, it is best to check their availability in advance.

North Frisia in a wider context

North Frisia has 441 kilometres of coastline. The five North Frisian islands include Sylt, Föhr and Amrum, which are part of Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. The ten Halligen are also part of the national park as a distinctive landscape formation. The North Frisian Wadden Sea is an officially designated nature reserve and part of this national park.

Nature watching and cultural activities are also part of what North Frisia has to offer. The Hauke-Haien-Koog is a place to observe a diverse range of birdlife. The Schlüttsiel Information Centre has a natural history exhibition and offers guided tours of the Wadden Sea and nature conservation almost daily. In suitable weather, a tour can continue along the sea dyke; check current dates and conditions. National park information centres in North Frisia also offer exhibitions and events about the national parks and the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site. When planning your trip, it is helpful to consider these regional attractions as a distinct part of the wider destination.
