Heiligenhafen Harbor and Promenade

Highlight • Settlement

The sight of the Baltic Sea holiday park in Heiligenhafen is a shock: multi-storey concrete blocks arranged in a mighty semicircle with a total of almost 1700 holiday apartments from 1970. According to the motto "it can always be worse". Otherwise a high priced tourist spot.

Heiligenhafen Harbor and Lighthouse

NABU birdwatching tower Graswarder

Highlight • Natural Monument

The roughly 230 hectare natural idyll is characterized by the Baltic Sea beach, the up to two meter high beach ridges with dunes and the lush salt marsh, on which the most sensitive and endangered plants grow.

In addition to the breeding birds, around 180 other bird species head for the Graswarder in the cold season. Visitors to the information center can take a tour of the incubated egg of a common gull or even hold a chick in their hands. From the observation tower, visitors have a fantastic view of one of the most beautiful spit coasts in Schleswig-Holstein. Heiligenhafen is a good example of a successful cooperation between tourism and nature conservation.

From March to May, more than 40 bird species breed in the nature reserve: greylag geese, shelducks, oystercatchers, avocets and common gulls (around 2,000 pairs in 1993) as well as skylarks and barn swallows. Thousands of sandpipers and Nordic duck species also rest and overwinter here.
