About Hohwacht
Hohwacht is located at the eponymous bay between Kiel and Fehmarn and is a quiet, elegant Baltic Sea resort with one of the most beautiful beach sections in Schleswig-Holstein. The highlight is the Flunder — a spectacular, architecturally unique observation platform that extends far over the sea. The Hohwacht Bay is shallow and sandy, ideal for families, and the steep coast offers dramatic views of the Baltic Sea.
