Schönberg

Schönberg lies at the mouth of Kiel Fjord, where it opens into the open waters of Kiel Bay, part of the Baltic Sea. Together with its various districts, the town presents itself as an excellent Baltic Sea holiday destination. Its listed historic centre is just as appealing as the extensive shopping and leisure facilities at the seaside resort of Schönberg.
Visitors can enjoy a nature trail through the salt meadows, riding arenas, an open youth centre, indoor football facilities and beach volleyball courts, fitness centres and a skate park. A heritage railway connects the seaside resort of Schönberg with the state capital, Kiel, as Schönberg and its beaches are part of Kiel’s local recreation area.
Believe it or not, Schönberg has a direct connection to California and Brazil. These are the names of two districts of the seaside resort, and their origins make for an unusual story: a fisherman is said to have found a rotten ship’s plank near his hut bearing the name “California” and nailed it to his front door. Another fisherman thought he was boasting and figured, “If you can do that, so can I...” He found a suitable piece of firewood, painted the word “Brazil” on it and hung it on his own front door. Over time, two districts grew up around the names.
The 250-metre-long pier at the seaside resort of Schönberg was inaugurated in 2001. Numerous campsites along the coast and inland add to the area’s appealing range of tourist attractions.
