Heiligenhafen

In August 2022 we visited Heiligenhafen for a weekend trip to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the fresh sea air.

Heiligenhafen is a charming small town on the eastern tip of the Wagrien Peninsula in Schleswig-Holstein, directly on the Baltic Sea. The city is a wonderful place to escape from everyday life and experience the maritime flair of the region.

We were immediately drawn to the picturesque streets and idyllic atmosphere of Heiligenhafen. The fresh breeze of the sea and the beautiful surroundings gave us a perfect getaway. Although we only spent a few days there, we took away many unforgettable memories and impressions of Heiligenhafen.

Heiligenhafen has an impressive cliff that stretches along the Baltic Sea coast. The cliffs are a popular destination for walkers and hikers who want to enjoy the stunning views of the sea and surrounding countryside. In some places there are also small beaches and bays that invite you to swim and sunbathe. The cliffs are an important part of Heiligenhafen's natural beauty and a must-see for any visitor.

I would rather go to the beach in Heiligenhafen for swimming, but the cliffs are nice for walking and taking photos.
