Cheese Road
The Cheese Route (german: Käsestraße) is a holiday route in north Germany, which links cheese-producing businesses in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Because cheese dairies are spread over the entire state, the Cheese Route runs once around Schleswig-Holstein. The first presentation of the route was in July 1999. At the start of 2000 the Schleswig-Holstein Cheese Route Society (''Verein Käsestraße Schleswig-Holstein'') was founded. Its main purpose is the promotion of cheese.
