Touristically relevant sights are numerous here. For example, visit Ritzebüttel Castle, which dates back to the 15th century and now serves as a museum. Or explore the historic old town of Cuxhaven with its old fishermen's houses and cosy cafés.

Cultural highlights can also be discovered: The annual harbour festival attracts thousands of visitors, who can look forward to traditional music and dance performances as well as culinary delights.

The culinary specialities of this area should also not go unmentioned - fresh fish is often served here directly from the sea or offered at the local markets.

Those who like to be active can let off steam by taking a bike ride through the countryside or hiking in the nearby national parks. Water sports such as surfing or kayaking are also available here.

If it should rain, there is still plenty to do: visit the North Sea Wreck Museum, for example, or enjoy a relaxing day in the spa area of one of the many local wellness hotels.

And where is the most beautiful? The answer to that depends a lot on your personal preferences, of course! Some recommend the beaches of Duhnen or Sahlenburg, while others prefer the view of the sea from the harbour.

In any case, Oberndorf, Cuxhaven is a destination worth visiting - and this guide will help you make the most of your stay here.

    Was für eine schöne Tour. Wir sind in Otterndorf gestartet und gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gefahren. Wir haben für diese Tour, mit vielen Pausen und schönen Sehenswürdigkeiten fast 7 Stunden gebraucht. Die Beschilderung ist Top. Das Handy als Wegbeschreibung hatten wir nicht gebraucht. Danke an Cuxland-Tourismus für diese schöne Tour.
