About Haffkrug
Haffkrug is the oldest seaside resort of the Lübeck Bay and a charming fishing village with authentic Baltic Sea flair. The place is located right next to the more well-known Scharbeutz, but offers a significantly quieter atmosphere. The historic pier, the small fishing harbor, and the wide natural beach make Haffkrug the perfect place for a relaxed family holiday by the Baltic Sea without the hustle and bustle of the large seaside resorts.
