Fort Kugelbake

Highlight • Historical Site

The fort was built from 1869-1879. It originally had strategic importance for securing the river mouth. Since it was not needed, parts were blown up after the war and it slowly fell into decay. After extensive restoration, it is now a museum, and the only remaining German naval artilleriefort.

View of the Kugelbake and the beach at Steinmarner Seedeich

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very beautiful beach promenade and a beach with a restaurant, and nearby is a promenade with fresh fish, fries, ice cream, and much more. Cuxhaven's sandy beach is approximately five kilometers long, making it the longest beach on the German North Sea coast.

Grimmershörn Bay

Highlight • Beach

The Grimmershörnbucht with its crescent-shaped arch from the ferry port to the Kugelbake is perhaps the geographically most distinctive place in Cuxhaven. Beautiful.
