The daily and weekly shop — all in Glücksburg, ~5 km away
The most important daily stop — EDEKA Matthiessen on Rathausstraße is Glücksburg’s full-range supermarket with a meat counter, cheese counter, in-store bakery and delivery service. Big plus: also open Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm (seasonal: 15 March–31 October). Fresh rolls from the in-store bakery, well-stocked produce, drinks market attached.

The discounter on Rathausstraße — right next to EDEKA and Rossmann. Low prices for daily needs, no meat counter but a broad standard range. Especially handy: the only shop in Glücksburg open until 9 pm — perfect for an evening shop after a long beach day or a late arrival.
Rathausstraße, 24960 Glücksburg
Drugstore for your holiday: sun cream, personal care, baby and child supplies, cleaning, health items, photo service. Also open on Sundays — indispensable when you’ve forgotten something. Right opposite EDEKA, easy to combine with the main shop.

Start the day right — the best bakeries from Bockholm
Bäcker Thaysen from Grundhof is the traditional bakery of the Angeln region — rooted here for over a hundred years, with branches from Flensburg to Gelting. The Glücksburg branch is the closest from Bockholm. Hand-baked breads, rolls, wholegrain specialities and pastries. Pop out early and come back with fresh rolls — a classic holiday morning.

If you take the morning detour to Langballigau (well worth it anyway — pretty harbour, fish stand), you can pick up fresh rolls at the Thaysen branch in Langballig on the way. The Grundhof wholegrain bakery runs its full wholegrain range under the Thaysen roof — particularly good for a healthy breakfast.
Poststraße 5, 24977 Langballig
Inside EDEKA Matthiessen there is an integrated bakery with fresh rolls, cakes and sweet pastries — also on Sundays. The most practical option when you’re shopping anyway: rolls fresh from the oven straight into the trolley. Also enjoyable with a coffee from the in-store café.
Rathausstraße 8, 24960 Glücksburg · Mon–Sat 8–20, Sun 11–17
Fresh-caught fish from the Flensburg Fjord — it doesn’t get closer
The original: fresh-caught fish straight off the cutter in the small harbour of Langballigau. Fishermen Christopher Lehuniak and Michael Grünhoff sell their catch from cutter LAN 23 — turbot, flounder, plaice, dab and cod. Fisherman Harald Lehuniak from cutter Odin (LAN 3 FF) also offers flounder, plaice, dab and cod. Sales start when they come in; times depend on the weather. Not there? Ask at the Odinfischer Bistro right at the jetty — they also sell smoked fish and you can pre-order for the next days.
Langballigau harbour, 24977 Langballig
Right at the jetty next to the Odin cutter is the Odinfischer Bistro — alongside fresh and smoked fish there are fish rolls to take away, beach chairs to sit in and a view of the small harbour with its leisure sailors. Even when no cutter has just come in, it’s worth a stop: the smoked fish range is broad and guests rave about it.
Langballigau harbour, 24977 Langballig
Eggs, meat, vegetables and dairy direct from the farm — within sight of Villa Boreal
The closest farm shop to Villa Boreal: Biohof Svensteen sits just ~3 km away in Munkbrarup and is open daily from 8:30 am to 7 pm — including Sundays. Around 150 cattle live on the farm to Bioland standards. The farm shop has the farm’s own organic potatoes, meat and sausages from the Angeln saddleback pig and Bioland fattening pigs, eggs, vegetables and dairy. From May to September there’s also an open-air self-service café on the farm.
Svensteen 8, 24960 Munkbrarup · Tel. 04631 5476366 · biohof-svensteen.de
Hof Jessen-Oxbüll in Wees is one of the best-known direct sellers in the region — supplying the Strandhotel Glücksburg, Restaurant Felix and several Flensburg restaurants with free-range poultry and eggs. The farm shop sells poultry, eggs and seasonal produce. Particularly known for the exceptional quality of the eggs — a fixture in the region’s best kitchens.
Oxbüll-Nord 9, 24999 Wees · Tel. 04631 8094 · jessen-oxbuell.de
The full-range EDEKA in Langballig — handy when you’re combining the trip to Langballigau for the fish cutter anyway. Stocks local produce of the region (including Svensteen items) and is a good alternative if you want to do some shopping on the way back without driving back to Glücksburg.
Schwarze Straße 19, 24977 Langballig
On Wednesdays and Saturdays Flensburg’s Südermarkt hosts one of the loveliest weekly markets in the region — direct from producers in the Angeln countryside: microgreens from Microgreens Ostsee (Glücksburg), WikingerGold honey from Langballig, vegetables, fruit, flowers, cheese, meat and fish. The coffee van at Nordermarkt is also there from 7:30 am on market days.
Südermarkt, 24937 Flensburg
Pharmacy, petrol, doctor and whatever else you might need
The pharmacy on Glücksburg’s Rathausstraße is right in the shopping centre next to EDEKA and Rossmann. For medicines, dressings, special sun protection and medical advice. Out-of-hours emergencies: 116 117 (medical on-call service) or the nearest emergency room in Flensburg (~19 km).
Rathausstraße, 24960 Glücksburg
Petrol station in Glücksburg: right in the centre on Rathausstraße — petrol, diesel and a small shop range for quick needs. A second station is in Langballig on the way to the fish cutter. Tip: it’s cheaper to fill up in Denmark (Kollund/Rønshoved, ~20 km) — worth it for larger amounts as Danish fuel prices are often well below the German level.
Rathausstraße, 24960 Glücksburg · Schwarze Str., 24977 Langballig
GP practice for when you need it: Dr Ralf Dehler on Collenburger Straße is the nearest contact for minor illnesses. Outside surgery hours the nationwide number 116 117 covers the medical on-call service, including weekends. Nearest emergency room: Malteser Krankenhaus Flensburg (about 20 km).

For the Saturday trip into town: everything under one roof or with the specialist
For the big weekly shop or special ingredients, the CITTI market in Flensburg is unbeatable: northern Germany’s most famous food hall combines a huge range with regional specialists in residence — Hanseatische Fleischerei butcher, Fischmanufaktur Rote Straße, Backensholz cheese, Johannsen Rum, Braasch spirits and many more. The ideal address when you want to do everything in one go once a week.

For everyone who values organic quality: denn’s organic market on Flensburg’s Marienallee offers a full organic range — fresh produce, frozen, household and natural cosmetics. Stocks Svensteen products and other local organic producers. The ideal complement to the CITTI market or a standalone organic weekly shop.
Marienallee 64, 24937 Flensburg · denns.de
For meat lovers who don’t compromise at the grill: Fleischerei Jacob Clausen is one of the best traditional butchers in the region and an enthusiastic gourmet recommendation. House-made sausage, top-quality cuts, seasonal specialities. If you’re planning a special dinner on the Villa Boreal terrace, shop here.
Practical notes for your stay: EDEKA Matthiessen in Glücksburg is the only nearby shop with Sunday opening — worth remembering. Netto is closed on Sundays but open until 9 pm on weekdays. Fish off the cutter in Langballigau depends on the weather — always call ahead. Biohof Svensteen (~3 km!) is open every day and the best source for fresh eggs and organic meat. In an emergency: 116 117 for the medical on-call service, 112 for ambulance and fire brigade.
Reserve your dates at Villa Boreal — with everything you need within reach.
