Sehestedt Ferry

This place is also a popular meeting point for motorcyclists and campers and is therefore sometimes quite crowded.

Kiel Canal at Sehestedt

Highlight • River

The ferries cost nothing and so you can choose depending on the position of the sun whether you'd rather go in the sun or in the shade.

Aschberg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great views of the surroundings and to the Baltic Sea. The 20 meter high tower is part of the Panorama Hotel Aschberg, but anyone can enjoy the view from the platform. The chic restaurant is perfect for a break.
