"And I appreciate the immediate proximity to the sea, the ferry steamers that zigzag between individual parts of the city and catapult you away like a holiday in no time at all."
Arne Rautenberg (Author)
Ferry trip to Laboe
Your excursion starts with the ferry ride to Laboe. On the 87-meter-high Naval Memorial you will not only have a fascinating view over the beautiful coastal landscape, but also get a hands-on history lesson. On the beach, you can experience how the crew lived and worked in a very confined space in the U995 submarine from 1943.
All aboard, please
Let`s go on a harbour tour
Seagulls circle and screech, the wind ruffles hair, and every now and then the muffled horn of the "Schilksee" sounds when a sailboat strays into its channel. On the ferry trip, there is not only a lot to see, but also a lot to learn. The captain himself tells his guests the history of each lighthouse, pier, building and harbor.
