Ships at Flensburg Fjord, Schleswig-Holstein, Northern Germany
Die Flensburger Förde (Flensburg Firth aka Flensborg Fjord) is the westernmost inlet of the Ostsee (Baltic Sea). It forms part of the border between Germany and Denmark. Its length is either 40 or 50 km, depending on definition. It has the largest surface of all Förden and East Jutland Fjorde, which are a special type of inlets, different from geological fjords.
Two peninsulas, Broager and Holnis, divide the inlet in an outer and an inner part. West of them, near the Danish coast, there are 2 small islands called Okseøerne (Ox Isles). At the Danish border there is Harrislee, Flensburg, Glücksburg, and the villages of Quern Munkbrarup, Langballig, Westerholz, Steinberg, Niesgrau, Gelting, and Nieby. Some main tourist attractions of the Flensburger Förde are the church of Broager, the Ox isles, the Sønderborg Castle, the Naval Academy Mürwik, and the harbor of Flensburg.
