The City of Kiel
Having 230.000 inhabitants, Kiel is the largest city in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein and its capital. It is located around the very end of the "Kieler Förde", a fjord of the Baltic Sea, which is about 20 km long.
Being close to the seaside, Kiel is famous for all kinds of water aktivities, especially during the summer.
Getting to Hamburg (Germanys second largest city) is no problem from here, it just takes an oner-hour car ride or an hour on the train.
