The attractive Baltic towns of Kiel, Puttgarden and Travem Ande are among the leading ports for international ferry services between Schleswig-Holstein and Scandinavia. There are now daily car ferries to and from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland, which carry passengers and cargo across the Baltic Sea in just a few hours. Excellent service, entertainment and a pleasant atmosphere are assured on all the ships.

The German-Danish shipping company Scandlines AG has the most extensive network of services in Baltic Sea region. The best-known ferry line operated by Scandlines is probably the Vogelfluglinie (Birs Flight Line) between Radby in Denmark and Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn. Four modern double-ended Scandlines car ferries carry over 6.5 million passengers across the Fehmarn Belt every year; the services run round the clock at 30-minute intervals, taking only 45 minutes for the journey.

There are two attractive services between Sweden and the Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein: The Stena Line connects Guteborg with Kiel and the TT Line runs between Trelleborg and Travem Ande.

The Finnlines passenger and cargo ferries run daily services between Travemnde and Helsinki, with a choice of extra-luxurious vessels. The journey takes around 36 hours, with exceptionally high standards of comfort for the passengers. The excellent food and some non-alcoholic drinks are included in the fare.

Germany is served by over a hundred international airlines. For travellers to the Baltic coast region the nearest international airport is in Hamburg.

Deutsche Bahn AG (German Rail) operates a modern, nationwide rail network with fast and efficient services to all major cities.

There is a good network of roads throughout the entire Baltic coastal region of Schleswig-Holstein, including some wonderfully beautiful and idyllic country and coastal roads. If you want to travel quickly you can drive on the A1 autobahn between Labeck and Oldenburg in Holstein, or the A7 between Hamburg and Flensburg. There are no general speed limits on German autobahns unless otherwise indicated by signs, but a general maximum speed of 130 km/h is recommended. Off the autobahns there are speed limits of 100 km/h outside built-up areas and 50 km/h within built-up areas, unless otherwise indicated by speed limit signs.

Put simply if you never try it you will never no, the world is a lot bigger than most of us would believe so why not take a trip into the unknown, you may end up going back. Have fun we go now go three times a year and cannot recommend it highly enough, whether it is for a romantic break or a traditional holiday with your young family or elderly relatives.

Everybody agrees on the fact that scuba diving is a relaxing sport that makes you feel special. While scuba diving you get to see the wonderful life underwater and to learn how to appreciate and protect it. There are many places where you have the chance to scuba dive each one more special in its own way. Some of them may be special because of the rare species that are living there, others because of the clarity of the water or they may be famous because of the high density of sea organisms.

An extraordinary place for scuba diving is Tenerife, the most famous site from the Canary Islands as it is the largest and the most visited by tourists. This is where you will find the sympathized Los Giants, known as the calmest place in Tenerife. These cliffs are perfect for family scuba diving or for any other diving group. There are many restaurants that can satisfy everyone’s tastes and a carnival takes place in the area. You will surely be impressed by the well equipped diving centre from Tenerife that has utilities such as diving shops and diving classroom.

As spectacular as the amazing cliffs are the luxuriant and diverse organisms that live in Tenerife’s waters. Also the air and the water temperature are more than perfect for scuba diving. No matter what season you would choose, you will be able to dive in the best conditions. Another thing that can determine you to go to Tenerife is the fact that you will be pleased by both aspects: the underwater world and the exotic beaches. Another great thing in Tenerife’s center is the peak of a popular volcano that is not active since 1909, named Mount Teide.

As mentioned above, Tenerife is full of amazing sea organisms such as turtles, trumpet fish and stingrays. This exotic island is also sheltering some weird creatures, like giant anemones, parrotfish and barracudas, which live in caves. While scuba diving around wrecks you can observe the mysterious habitats of moray eels of many sizes and shapes and get impressed by their charm.
