Travel to Flensburg


JuteVilla
West of Flensburg runs the A 7 Autobahn, leading north to the Danish border, whence it continues as European route E45. Furthermore, Federal Highways (Bundesstra�en) B 200 and B 199 pass through the municipal area.

Also west of the town lies the Flensburg-Sch�ferhaus airport.

Local transport is provided by several buslines such as "Aktiv Bus GmbH" and "Allgemeinen Flensburger Autobus Gesellschaft" (AFAG) along with others. They all operate within an integrated fare system within the Flensburg transport community (Verkehrsgemeinschaft Flensburg). They also all subscribe to the Schleswig-Holstein tariff system whereby anyone travelling from anywhere in Schleswig-Holstein or Hamburg may use Flensburg buses free to connect with their final destinations. It works both ways, of course, and a rider boarding any bus in Flensburg need only name his destination anywhere in Schleswig-Holstein or Hamburg, pay his fare, and travel all the way to that destination on the one ticket.

The current Flensburg station was opened in 1927 south of the Old Town. From there, trains run on the main line to Neum�nster and on to Hamburg and to Fredericia, among them some InterCity connections as well as trains serving the line running to Eckernf�rde and Kiel. Another stop for regional trains to Neum�nster is to be found in Flensburg-Weiche. The stretch of line to Nieb�ll has been out of service since 1981, efforts to open it again notwithstanding. The secondary line to Husum and the lesser lines to Kappeln and Satrup no longer exist. Even the tramway, which opened in 1881 to horse-drawn trams, was electrified in 1906 and at one point ran four lines was replaced with buses in 1973
