Discover Steinfeld – Find Hotels

Steinfeld offers several different ways to plan a stay: the former railway line represents a longer route for getting around, KerzenHuus offers a guided hands-on experience, and historic buildings and collection items shed light on local and everyday history. If you are looking for a hotel in Steinfeld, these themes may help shape your choice of destination. Consider whether you would like to combine your stay mainly with cycling and walks or with an interest in crafts and cultural history.

Cycling and hiking route along the former railway line

The former railway line between Schleswig and Süderbrarup is a cycling and hiking route about 21 kilometres long. It officially opened as a route in 2024. The section in Steinfeld is 3.3 kilometres long and passes the former railway station and a rest area. The 3.3 kilometres refers to this section; around 21 kilometres describes the entire route between Schleswig and Süderbrarup. This lets you distinguish the local section from the longer connection. Pedestrians and cyclists share the trail; horse riding is not permitted.

Finding your way along the trail

The MarktTreff Steinfeld is located right next to the Old Railway Trail between Süderbrarup and Schleswig. It offers a grocery store that is open around the clock, as well as regional products. If a particular product is important for your stay, check the current range in advance.

Crafts and architectural history

At KerzenHuus, you can make candles yourself. The activity takes place in a relaxed atmosphere, with support provided, so you can focus on making something with your own hands. This sets it apart from the railway trail: here, the focus is on crafting, while there, it is on getting around on foot or by bike.

The historic cottage at Hasselholzstraße 28 is a listed building. It dates from around 1800 and is a single-storey half-timbered house with a gable and a thatched half-hipped roof. On a half-hipped roof, the gable ends are partly hipped, with sloping roof surfaces. The cottage thus brings together two distinct features: its half-timbered construction and its roof design.

The collection at the Kius-Ulsnis-Steinfeld Village Museum includes items from homes, farms and craft businesses in Ulsnis and Steinfeld, including objects from the 17th and 18th centuries. Together, the cottage and the collection offer different ways to explore history: one is a specific named building, the other objects from domestic, agricultural and craft settings.

Schleswig-Flensburg in a wider context
