Discover the region

Geographically, Waabs is a coastal town with a picturesque landscape of forests, lakes and beaches. The area is known for its breathtaking natural scenery as well as the many opportunities for hiking, cycling or water sports.

Topically relevant sights include Gottorf Castle in Schleswig or the Molfsee open-air museum. Here you can learn more about the history of this region and get an insight into traditional craftsmanship.

Cultural highlights are also part of the offer: In Eckernförde, for example, there are regular concerts and theatre performances to see. In summer there are also numerous festivals such as the jazz festival on the beach at Laboe or the Viking festival at Haithabu.

But culinary delights are not neglected either - here you can expect fresh fish straight from the harbour as well as regional specialities such as kale with pinkel or labskaus.

The best outdoor activities can be enjoyed especially in spring, summer and autumn - whether sailing on the sea or hiking through the hilly landscape around Waabs. Bicycle tours along the coast are also a good option.

If it ever rains, we recommend an excursion to the Museum Kunst der Westküste (Art of the West Coast) in Alkersum or to the Schifffahrtsmuseum (Maritime Museum) in Flensburg. Here you can experience art and history up close.

Where is the most beautiful? That certainly depends on your preferences, but we recommend a walk along the beach at sunset - an unforgettable experience!

Waabs is definitely worth a trip and our Travel Guide will give you all the tips you need for your stay here. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

    Tolle Tour. Allerdings müssen zwei Punkte dringend erwähnt werden. 1. die Fähre in Arnis ist eingestellt. Das wussten wir, daher sind wir von Olpenitz aus direkt in Kappeln über die Klappbrücke und von dort an der Schlei entlang nach Arnis gefahren. Wir haben die Tour in entgegengesetzte Richtung gefahren. Das wir wichtig für Punkt zwei. 2. Die Steilküste zwischen Waabs und Damp wurde vermutlich beim Sturm im Herbst 2023 stark beschädigt. Der schmale Trampelpfad an vielen Stellen komplett weggespült. Inzwischen haben sich zwar neue Pfade „gebildet“ aber diese erkennt der Unwissende erst spät. So dass man wirklich teilweise sehr gefährlich auf eine „Klippe“ zufährt. Wer nicht schnell genug reagiert kann leicht abstürzen. Fährt man von Nord nach Süd, ist die Lebensgefahr auch ausgeschildert. Kommt man vonSüden , wie wir, weist nichts darauf hin. Der Abschnitt ist wirklich gefährlich und wir mussten unsere Ebikes oft über den Strand und durch Schotter und Gehölz schieben. Ansonsten aber eigentlich eine tolle Tour, die wir in ähnlicher Weise schon 2020 und 2022 gemacht haben

    Die Marienkirche in Waabs stammt aus dem Ende des 14. Jh., Turm Ende des 16. Jh., die Kreuzrippengewölbe Anfang des 17. Jh. Im Innern der Kirche sind vor allem eine Reihe gotischer Holzskulpturen, der Schnitzaltar (17. Jh.), die hölzerne Taufe (17. Jh.) und der frühgotischer Taufstein aus gotländischem Kalkstein, das Rantzaugestühl (Ende 16. Jh.), spätgotische Fresken (16. Jh.) im Altarraum zu bewundern. Sollte die Kirche geschlossen sein, so kann man mit Hilfe des QR-Codes am Nordeingang eine virtuelle Besichtigung der Kirche machen. Auf Youtube ist eine Dokumentation über die Sanierung der Kirche verfügbar. - https://www.kkre.de/gemeinden/schwansen/waabs - Wikipedia (Waabs) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T06mNS423FI

    Tolle Runde. Erst direkt am Strand entlang, dann in den Wald, was bei heißer Sonne sehr angenehm ist.

    Sehr schöne Runde. An der Küste ist nicht alles Radweg und recht schmal, es sollte also nicht zu viel los sein...
