Geographically, Heiligenhafen is located on the Wagrien peninsula on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein. The town is particularly well known for its beautiful beach, which invites you to sunbathe and swim in the summer.

But there is much more to discover: one highlight is the historic buildings from the 17th century in the old town centre of Heiligenhafen. Here you can stroll through narrow alleys and experience the charm of bygone times.

Culturally, Heiligenhafen also has a lot to offer: The Kulturforum Friesenmuseum shows interesting exhibitions on the history of the town as well as the regional art scene. For music lovers, a visit to the Jazz Festival or the Blues & Rock Festival, which take place every year, is worthwhile.

Culinary Heiligenhafen also has some highlights to offer: Fresh fish is naturally at the top of the menu here - it tastes particularly delicious in the many restaurants at the harbour or at the "Fischer Wiehnacht", a traditional Christmas market around the theme of fishing.

Those who like to be active will not be disappointed in Heiligenhafen: In summer you can enjoy water sports such as sailing or surfing, while in winter there is the option of ice sailing. Anglers also get their money's worth here - Heiligenhafen is known for its good fishing grounds.

And what can you do in Heiligenhafen if it ever rains? Don't worry: there are plenty of indoor activities such as the "Aktiv-Hus" adventure pool with sauna and wellness area or the Sea-Life Aquarium, where you can experience the underwater world up close.

Summarising: Heiligenhafen is definitely worth a trip! Whether it's a beach holiday, a cultural trip or an active holiday - everyone will find something suitable here. As a travel guide, we recommend a visit in summer for water sports fans and sun worshippers, and in winter for those who like fishing or ice sailing. Where is the most beautiful? You decide - simply discover Heiligenhafen for yourself and let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of this place!
