Really hyggelig

The Danish attitude to life "hygge" is characterized by coziness and love for the beautiful things in life. This is reflected, for example, in everyday living, where candles create a beautiful atmosphere, and not just at candlelight dinners. Friends and family are also a mandatory part of it, after all, it is best enjoyed with the dearest people. Hygge, that is endless conversations in cosy company, balmy summer nights in the park and baking cookies with the family. Hygge is also one of the reasons why the polite and balanced Danes are among the happiest people in the world. And it is precisely this attitude to life that can be experienced at close quarters in Flensburg.

After a hard day's work, why not take a trip across the border? Whether by car, bicycle or on foot - here in Flensburg, the vacation paradise of Denmark is only a stone's throw away from everyday life. Of course, this has a noticeable effect on the quality of life, and we are of the opinion that nowhere is life more relaxed than on the most beautiful fjord in the world.
