Talk:Holstein Switzerland

VFD discussion
An extra-hierarchical region which is not currently extra-hierarchical but still serves no purpose whatsoever... Either delete or redirect to Schleswig Holstein Hobbitschuster (talk) 22:36, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Expand - maybe make into a park article. There are a number of nature parks, lakes with plenty of hiking and cycling opportunities. Recognized tourist area. --Traveler100 (talk) 07:05, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - I think we don't need an article on that region as of yet, but if and when Schleswig Holstein is subdivided into regions once more (IMHO division along a North-South Axis makes more sense for travel purposes then the classic Schleswig - Holstein division, as the difference between Baltic and North Sea is rather pronounced), we might have a need for such a page.

 * Do not delete Please be sure to cite a reason for deleting an article from the WV:Deletion policy in nominations. Unless I'm missing something, this would (at worst) be a candidate for merging and redirecting, but there is no reason to delete it. -- Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 01:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Regardless of what's done with these extra-region articles, they should not simply be deleted, and you don't need to start a Vfd thread to discuss the possibility of merging/redirecting. Perhaps this one should be turned into a normal region article? Or perhaps a park article, as Traveler100 suggests. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:46, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Outcome: Kept. -- Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 05:00, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Lede
Holstein Switzerland (German: Holsteinische Schweiz) is a picture-postcard region of lakes, woods and gently rolling hills in Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany, not far from the Baltic Sea coast. Its highest elevation is the modest Bungsberg (168 m). The region is an official nature park and popular tourist destination in North Germany.

Understand
Holstein Switzerland lies in the eastern part of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and was once part of the historical territory of Wagria. Much of it occupies the districts of Ostholstein and Plön, between the North German coastal cities of Lübeck and Kiel and extending north to the Baltic coast. The region's charm is its constantly-changing landscape within the Schleswig-Holstein Uplands. Woods and copses alternate with hedges, fields and broad blue lakes nestling amongst low hills. The larger lakes include Lake Plön, the Dieksee and Kellersee. Its major watercourse is the River Schwentine, which flows into Kiel Fjord. The Bungsberg (168 m) is the highest hill in the region and has the only ski lift in Schleswig-Holstein.
