Cuxhaven

Geographically, the city is located at the northernmost point of Lower Saxony and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Its location makes it an ideal starting point for mudflat walks or boat trips to the island of Neuwerk.

Tourist highlights include the town's landmark, the Kugelbake - a 30-metre-high pile dwelling directly on the beach - and Ritzebüttel Castle with its museum about the history of the town. The wreck museum "Windstärke 10" or the fishing port are also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights include the Schauspielhaus or various galleries with changing exhibitions. Anyone interested in maritime topics should definitely take a look at the German Maritime Museum.

Cuxhaven also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Whether fresh fish straight from the cutter in the harbour or typical North German dishes such as Labskaus - here every gourmet gets his money's worth.

For outdoor activities, summer is particularly suitable: cycling along the dyke path, surfing or stand-up paddling in the sea or simply sunbathing on the beach. In autumn, the kite festival in particular attracts visitors to the Duhnen beach area.

But there are also plenty of options in Cuxhaven when the weather is bad: The Ahoi adventure pool with its water slides and saunas or the Thalasso centre "Thalasso Island" offer relaxation for body and soul.

The most beautiful place in Cuxhaven is probably the beach, where you can let your eyes wander over the expanse of the North Sea. But a walk through the spa gardens or a ride on the excursion boat MS Flipper are also unforgettable experiences.

Cuxhaven - definitely worth a trip! Let our Travel Guide inspire you and discover this charming town on the coast of Germany for yourself.
