Danish Wahld

It is located between Eckernförde Bay in the north and Kiel Fjord in the south.

The Amt of "Dänischer Wohld" in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde is named after the peninsula, but only encompasses a central part of the region.

The Danish Wahld formed a border forest between German and Danish settlements in the Middle Ages with only a few Jute settlements.

It predominantly was composed of the older Eckernförde district, now within Rendsburg-Eckernförde.

Individual settlements in the southeast, such as Schilksee, Holtenau, and Friedrichsort, now are part of the city of Kiel.
