Eckernförde - enjoy the Baltic Sea experience

The Baltic Sea can offer you a real wealth of experiences. Swim on the beach or explore the coast by bicycle. With a bit of luck you may find fossils and pieces of amber on the beach. In the nearby Ostsee-Info-Center visitors can explore the underwater world of the Baltic Sea. What do flatfish or starfish feel like? You can get right up close to the native plants and animals in the touch tank, the large aquarium. The natural high ropes course promises fun and adventure thanks to its challenging climbing elements. It offers 11 different courses in a beautifully located beech forest.
