Occasionally, a coastal freighter arrives at the silo to unload cargo such as grain or fertilizer. Fish is no longer unloaded at the fish hall very often. The harbor is busiest during the Heiligenhafen Harbor Festival.

Always good as a little weather protection, unfortunately not for overnight stays.

Here you can leave the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood behind and chill out. Very nice!

Buten is (in my humble opinion) better for walking, and inner is better for cycling. Be considerate of one another, and everything will be fine.
