The town Garding is situated at the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein amidst the countryside of Eiderstedt.

Today, the area surrounding Garding, washed around by the North Sea has been for millions of years a kind of fighting object between land and sea.

The little town has 2.700 citizens but has the tower charter already since the 12.10.1590, bestowed by duke Johann Adolf to Schleswig-Holstein Gottorf, and is located as economic centre of the landscape centrally on the peninsula Eiderstedt.

This central location makes Garding ideal as starting point for hikes and trips.

3 kilometres away is the little village of Katharinenheerd for instance. Well worth seeing is the homey village church with a wealth of valuable inventory. At the outer choir wall is a relief of the Eiderstedter national heroine 'Martje Flohrs', with a drinking motto 'Et gah uns wohl up unse olen Dage'(we are well in our old age). Martje Flohrs was born in Katharinenheerd and has been godmother to many children.
One should have also seen the typical farmhouses, the 'Haubarge', of the region.

If you want to spend your holiday peaceful and quietly, this town is right for you. In an ideal way one can combine a recreational holiday in the countryside with a seaside vacation.
Bathing beaches can be found nearby at the villages Ülvesbüll, Norderheverkoog and Westerhever (where the worldfamous Westerhever lighthouse stands).

Guarded beaches in St. Peter-Ording, Vollerwiek and Tönning.
