Niendorf/Ostsee: Harbor, Pier and Beach

If you’re looking for a hotel in Niendorf/Ostsee, you can choose your destination based on specific interests: the harbor and fishing, beach activities, nature or culture. Local points of interest include the fish market, the pier with its turbot motif, the bird park and St. Peter’s Church. The harbor, beach and culture show different sides of the town. When planning your trip, consider which of these themes you’d like to focus on.

Fishing and more at Niendorf Harbor

Niendorf Harbor is described as the smallest active fishing harbor. Local fishermen sell their daily catch at the fish market in the harbor. So, alongside the harbor’s description, the daily catch provides a tangible connection to fishing. The tourist information office is located at the entrance and provides information for your holiday. The harbor also has a shipyard, dining options and excursion boats to Lübeck Bay. So, in addition to its connection to fishing, you’ll find places to get information, eat and take excursions.

Pier, beach and bird park

The pierhead of Niendorf Pier is modeled on a turbot. The eyes, mouth and fins are part of the design, making the fish motif a distinctive feature of the architecture. There’s also a children’s playground with a climbing tower on the pier. The play equipment may change.

Niendorf beach has a surf school and a diving school. Surfing and diving offer different options for travelers interested in activities on the water. Niendorf Bird Park is fully accessible and easy to navigate with a wheelchair or stroller. This gives you specific information about accessibility at this attraction.

Nature and trails around Niendorf

The Aalbeek lowlands and the northern part of Hemmelsdorfer See have been designated a nature reserve and a Natura 2000 site since 1984. If you’re also considering natural areas and protected sites when planning your trip, these named landscapes are specific places to explore.

The hiking trail along the top of the Brodten steep bank runs from Travemünde to Niendorf; the route takes about an hour. The approximate duration gives you a concrete guide for managing your time if you include a hike in your travel plans. This sets two coastal excursions apart: a hike along the top of the steep bank and a boat trip to Lübeck Bay.

St. Peter’s Church: building history and concert series

The foundation stone for St. Peter’s Church was laid on August 12, 1898. A concert series was founded in 2012; all musical events take place at St. Peter’s Church, Sydowstraße 14, Niendorf/Ostsee. Admission is free. The two years refer to different events: 1898 to the laying of the foundation stone and 2012 to the founding of the concert series. St. Peter’s Church thus brings together a historical connection and a venue for musical events.
