Baltic resort Heikendorf

Only a ferry ride away from the city of Kiel, on the sunny side of the fjord, the Baltic seaside resort Heikendorf awaits you. The most beautiful spots are strung along the shoreline like pearls on a string: the sun terrace on the beach, the pier at the fishing port or the submarine memorial on a headland at the narrowest point of the fjord. Here, the large ferries, cruisers and traditional sailing ships pass before your eyes: moments of happiness that you will not forget and pure relaxation.

Culture

The artists' museum in the former studio house of the painter Heinrich Blunck offers classical concerts, (Low German) theater performances, entertaining shanty concerts, art exhibitions, lectures, readings and many other events. Not far away, the well-known submarine memorial towers on a headland in the fjord, marking the narrowest point in the estuary. On top of it, a mighty 4.60 meter high sea eagle is enthroned on a massive Weser sandstone pillar. Below the column, large plaques commemorate all submariners of German navies who lost their lives at sea in the line of duty.
