Nordfriesland (district)
Nordfriesland (; ; Low German: Noordfreesland), also known as
North Frisia, is the northernmost
district of Germany, part of the state of
Schleswig-Holstein. It includes almost all of traditional
North Frisia (with the exception of the island of
Heligoland), as well as adjacent parts of the
Schleswig Geest to the east and
Stapelholm to the south, and is bounded (from the east and clockwise) by the districts of
Schleswig-Flensburg and
Dithmarschen, the
North Sea and the
Danish county of
South Jutland. The district is called ''Kreis Nordfriesland'' in
German, ''Kreis Noordfreesland'' in
Low German, ''Kris Nordfraschlönj'' in
Mooring North Frisian, ''Kreis Nuurdfresklun'' in
Fering North Frisian and ''Nordfrislands amt'' in
Danish.
As of 2008, Nordfriesland was the
most visited rural district in Germany.
