The Halligen in the north (tiny partly inhabited islands in the North Sea), a prominent island that can only be reached by car by embankment (Sylt ), North Friesland shaped by the North Sea or the hilly Holstein Switzerland: all regions are worth a visit and tasting. Holstein ham , Flour dumplings , Kale with boiled sausage , Lilacberry soup , Büsumer Büsum shrimp ragout or the almost forgotten one Schnüsch are some of the regional specialties.
