St. Nicholas Church in Quern is located on a hill 58 metres above mean sea level (NN), making it the highest-altitude church in Angeln. Scheersberg is located in the vicinity of Quern and is a hill. If you are interested in churches and landforms, you can include St. Nicholas Church and Scheersberg in your trip planning.

Hiking and Cycling in the Angeln Landscape

Since 2015, the long-distance hiking trail “Fördestieg” has connected the Habernisser Au FFH area with the Danish border and Falshöft. In Steinbergkirche, numerous cycling and hiking trails lead through the hilly Angeln landscape. For active days, the range therefore extends from the long-distance hiking trail to paths through the hilly countryside. This may be interesting for you if you want movement and natural surroundings to go hand in hand.

Horse-Riding Trails Between Forests, Rapeseed Fields and Natural Beaches

In Angeln, horse-riding trails also lead through green forests, along yellow rapeseed fields and beautiful natural beaches. Particularly good horse-riding trails can be found at Gelting Bay. The different landscapes give active planning a clear character: forests, rapeseed fields and natural beaches each shape the trails in their own way.

Habernis Beach is located in the vicinity of Quern. Solitüde is in the wider regional surroundings of Quern and is one of the beaches there; Sønderhav Beach is also located in the wider regional surroundings.

Views and Regional Cultural Destinations

The wider regional surroundings offer several different destinations for days focused on culture and views. The historical site of Ruethstein and the ruins of Edelsturm are located in the wider regional surroundings of Quern. The church “Sieverstedt, St. Petri Church” and the church “Idstedt Church” are also located there. The Bismarck Tower on Scheersberg near Steinbergkirche was built in 1903. The 32-metre-high tower has a viewing platform at a height of 19 metres and 373 inscribed donor stones, and offers views across Angeln. The historical sites and churches represent different cultural points of interest, while the tower, with its height, platform and views across Angeln, adds a landscape perspective.

Scheersberg Youth Centre was founded in 1928 by the German Border Association in the then Flensburg district and has offered seminars and workshop projects in cultural education for young people since 1960. Cultural education work is therefore also one of the topics you can take into account when planning the region around Quern.
