Discover Wees: Farming, Farm Visits and Tour Planning
Accommodation in Wees
Wees is a state-recognised health resort, but not a municipality primarily shaped by tourism. Farms and agricultural businesses stand alongside modern residential areas and commercial and industrial companies. This mix shapes a place where relaxation and community life coexist. Wees is located directly on the B 199 between Flensburg and Kappeln; its location on this road provides clear directions for your journey.
Farm Visits and Activities
The Andresen adventure farm in Wees offers visits for families, groups of children, kindergartens, schools and businesses. Offerings include children’s birthday parties, guided farm tours, kindergarten and school outings, and company celebrations. Activities include feeding calves and sitting on a tractor, which is offered to both children and adults. Treasure hunts and farm rallies are also available. If you are planning a visit, confirm the arrangements directly with the farm before you arrive; programme details may vary.
Agriculture and Produce
Jessen-Oxbüll farm specialises in poultry with direct sales and arable farming. The family’s agricultural activity in Oxbüll can be traced back several centuries; poultry, especially chickens, has been the farm’s focus for three generations. The Jessen-Oxbüll farm shop sells chickens and soup hens. As product availability may vary, check before visiting. You can buy fresh farm milk directly from the dairy farm in Wees; you should also check availability in advance for this product.
OxbĂĽll and Ulstrup
OxbĂĽll and Ulstrup are noted for their historic character and rural charm.
Tour Planning and Outdoor Recreation
You can use the municipality’s route-planning services for cycling and walking tours in Schleswig-Holstein; they are preset to Wees. The route planner lets you focus on cycling or walking. Nearby Weesrieser Gehege is used by people seeking relaxation and by joggers. This makes planning a tour in Schleswig-Holstein and the established recreational use of the woodland two distinct ways to enjoy the outdoors.
In the wider Schleswig-Flensburg destination
Haithabu and the Danewerk have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018. The Idstedt Museum and memorial site provide information about German-Danish history surrounding the 1848 uprising and the Battle of Idstedt. More than 130 bird species can be observed on Holnis, including around 65 breeding species. At 773 hectares, Geltinger Birk is the largest nature reserve in the Schleswig-Flensburg district; it has well-maintained paths and guided walks that provide insights into the flora and fauna. The Tolk-Schau family and leisure park offers, among other things, rides, playgrounds, park railways, fairy-tale cottages and more than 100 life-size dinosaurs. The Holnis peninsula is the northernmost point of Schleswig-Holstein’s young moraine landscape.
