Arriving in Germany: Your Journey from Denmark

Leaving Denmark behind, the short Baltic crossing to Germany lands at Puttgarden, with Fehmarn island's flat, wind-swept coastline emerging quickly after departure. From the port, Germany's Baltic coast opens up toward Kiel and Lübeck's Hanseatic old town, both within easy reach by car. Kiel's annual sailing regatta, Kieler Woche, is worth timing a visit around if travelling in late June, while Lübeck's marzipan shops make for a sweeter, quieter stop.
