Heiligenhafen

Located north of the approach route to Fehmarn Island, the Baltic Sea resort of Heiligenhafen has around 10,000 residents. It combines a romantic old town with small fishermen’s houses and a historic harbor, a modern holiday park on the nearby Steinwarder dune peninsula, the Baltic coast’s second-largest marina with more than 1,000 berths, and Germany’s largest fleet of deep-sea fishing boats.
Framed by nature reserves and protected landscapes, the 5-kilometer-long beach invites visitors to sunbathe and unwind. Heiligenhafen offers a particularly attractive setting for a family holiday, with wonderful playgrounds and a host of events and attractions. Exploring the cliffs, fishing, children’s sailing, mini golf, pedal boating, tennis, kite flying, and an activity center with an indoor children’s area, sports arena, sauna, and wellness center are just a few of the options. Older visitors and guests with disabilities will especially appreciate the accessible beach path.
Today, Heiligenhafen is a modern, officially recognized Baltic Sea spa resort with historic maritime charm, offering its guests a pleasant stay at any time of year. Its unique location on the Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein makes Heiligenhafen a hub for maritime tourism, with a wide range of activities for sailors and surfers.
