Say "Guten Tag" to the seaside town of Heiligenhafen
With its redbrick cottages and clinking fishing boats, Heiligenhafen is brimming with old German charm. Overlooking the Baltic Coast, this once-traditional fishing town is famous for its 10-day festival, Hagenfest Tage, which draws a largel crowd each summer. Get your German adventure off to a great start by booking a Heiligenhafen vacation rental that offers sea views. Relax on sand dune-backed beaches, learn about the town's fishing history in the Heimatmuseum, or stroll along the Seebrucke, a lengthy stone pier which stretches 270 yards into the sea.

From fishing to festivals, Heiligenhafen has it all
Founded as a port in the 1200s, life in this Baltic coastal resort naturally revolves around the sea. Families will often book their Heiligenhafen vacation rental close to the beach and kick back on the soft, buttery sands, picnic in the dunes, or go paddling in the cool waters. For a small town, Heiligenhafen has plenty of places to eat, including buzzy cafes, bars, and seafood restaurants. It's also a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts, who come to cast a line from the beach or take a boat trip out to deeper waters.
Germany's summer starts in Heiligenhafen
Perched on the Baltic coast, Heiligenhafen sees some of the best weather in northern Germany. Long, hot summers with plenty of sunshine and blue skies means it's peak season on the coast, and Heiligenhafen vacation rentals can get booked up in advance. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall do not fare as well with the weather, and rain showers can be a frequent visitor. Winter on the coast can get pretty chilly too, with temperatures dropping towards freezing. It does get quiet outside of the main seasons, but it's great for blustery seaside walks, so remember to pack layers.
Heiligenhafen's coastline is a real cliffhanger
Perched on the Baltic Coast of northern Germany, Heiligenhafen is a charming seaside resort within easy reach of the Schleswig-Holstein coastline. There are various coastal walks all the way along this stretch, where you can take in rugged cliffs and sandy beaches with sweeping views of the Baltic coast. A popular spot is the Graswarder peninsula. This mile-long nature reserve features wetlands and saltmarshes, and is an important habitat for over 40 different species of birds. There's a lookout tower and a conservation center which also offers guided tours of the reserve.
