Niendorf/Ostsee: Fishing Harbour, Pier and Nature

Niendorf/Ostsee showcases its maritime side at Niendorf Harbour. It is considered the smallest active fishing harbour. At the fish market, local fishermen sell their catch of the day. The tourist information office is located at the harbour entrance; there you can obtain information for your holiday. The location of the tourist information office at the harbour entrance makes it easier to get your bearings before choosing other harbour attractions. The harbour also has a shipyard, dining options and excursion boats into Lübeck Bay.

Pier, Beach and Activities on the Water

The Niendorf pier makes a distinctive statement: its pierhead is modelled on a turbot and features eyes, a mouth and fins. As you walk along the pier, the motif with its eyes, mouth and fins remains immediately apparent. The pier also has a children's playground with a climbing tower. The children's playground with its climbing tower adds a distinctive feature for a stay with children. Niendorf beach is home to a surf school and a diving school. If you would like to vary your days by the water, maritime experiences, play facilities, and surfing and diving options are all directly relevant to your stay.

Protected Landscapes and Nature Experiences

The Aalbeek lowlands and the northern part of Lake Hemmelsdorf offer a different focus. Both areas have been nature reserves since 1984 and are designated Natura 2000 sites. Their protected status shapes the way these landscapes are experienced and makes them particularly interesting for visitors who would like to include nature and wildlife in their travel plans alongside the beach.

Bird Park and Accessible Orientation

Niendorf Bird Park is fully accessible and easy to navigate with a wheelchair or pushchair. This specific feature is important for planning the day if, on your excursions, you look for an attraction that is easy to navigate. When choosing an excursion destination, you can therefore also take mobility with a wheelchair or pushchair into account. This means that when choosing your hotel, you can also consider whether nature observation and easily accessible paths are among your interests.

Hiking Trail Above the Brodten Cliffs

Active travellers will find a clearly described connection between Travemünde and Niendorf in the hiking trail running along the top of the Brodten cliffs. The route takes about one hour. Its approximate duration allows the hike to be planned as an approximately one-hour section of your stay.

St Peter's Church and Musical Events

Culture is also part of the local character. The foundation stone for St Peter's Church was laid on 12 August 1898. The concert series founded in 2012 is also held in the same church: all musical events take place at St Peter's Church, Sydowstraße 14, Niendorf/Ostsee, and admission is free. Free admission may play a role when choosing a cultural offering if you would like to complement a day at the beach with music. If you do not want to spend your stay exclusively at the beach or in nature, this church venue provides another specific focus for your travel planning.
