    Worth seeing, right in the village, in the dunes, are the bathing huts, preserved in their original state nowhere else in Germany.

    To the west, the Kossau River forms a large part of the municipal boundary. There, part of the European Natura 2000 protected area, the Kossautal FFH area, and adjacent areas within the municipal area are located.

      Neudorf Estate formerly shipped its grain from Alt-Hohwacht. The manor house and several of the estate's buildings are still preserved today and are listed as cultural monuments. Neudorf Estate was owned by the Rantzau family since 1469 and was sold to Marquard von Pentz in 1622. His son, Christian von Pentz, sold the estate in 1642 to the Danish King Christian IV, who enfeoffed it to Detlef Reventlow. In 1719, Neudorf Estate passed to Friedrich Christian von Wedderkop. Later, through further sales, it passed to Antoinette Amalie of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel in 1738 and to Johanna Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf in 1754. Neudorf Estate has been owned by the von Buchwaldt family since 1761.

        Wide, white sandy beaches, kissed by the gentle waves of the Baltic Sea and fringed by wooded cliffs overlooking the sea majestically – the beaches of Hohwacht, this small, romantic fishing village that gave its name to the bay, are not only a dream destination, but also a place for relaxation and activity. The Baltic Sea resort of Hohwacht has remained a little bit of a fishing village to this day. Stroll through the narrow alleys past romantic thatched-roof cottages and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Schleswig-Holstein's Baltic coast.

          For little adventurers, there's the Pirate Camp just a few meters from the beach. On the wooded cliffs, you'll have a fantastic view of the small, colorful beach huts, which are nowhere to be found in Germany anymore. Those looking for a romantic getaway can exchange vows on our unique lakeside platform, the Hohwachter Flunder.

              Dreamy fishing village

              Hohwacht – white beaches, narrow alleys, and a large lakeside platform
              It was this small, romantic fishing village of Hohwacht that gave its name to the entire Baltic Sea bay. Even today, you'll be enchanted by its quaint charm, white sandy beaches, beautiful thatched cottages, and wooded cliffs.

                The Highlights in Hohwacht
                Is your camera ready? The Flunder sea platform in Hohwacht is the region's landmark and a perfect backdrop for your vacation photos and fantastic events. The Piratenlager adventure playground, on the other hand, will leave a lasting impression on kids. Here, little explorers can embark on an exciting treasure hunt on a cool pirate ship. Things are much quieter in the spit and beach ridge biotopes of Kronswarder. Just the thing for big nature explorers.

                  The lakeside platform is the highlight of the new promenade and is located directly on Hohwacht's main beach. Here you can let the Baltic Sea breeze blow around your ears, dance at concerts, and even say "I do."

                    The sheltered bay of Alt-Hohwacht is an excellent spot for trying out water sports in the sheltered standing-water area. And, of course, for showing off your skills on the Baltic Sea waves, whether wingsurfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, or SUPing. Feel more comfortable on a bike? There are fantastic bike tours throughout the entire Hohwacht Bay, for example, from Hohwacht to Lütjenburg, to the Bismarck Tower and picturesque Panker Estate. The most beautiful routes are summarized on a small cycling and hiking map. Or perhaps you fancy a round of golf with a sea breeze? The 27-hole Hohwacht golf course is idyllically situated on the large inland lake and even offers a practice facility with 150 tees, the "Golfodrom."

                      Ready to board: The large shipwreck, the Seetiger, is conquered by the little beach pirates via cable car, bridge, or slide. Refreshments are available in the adjacent beach chair restaurant.

                        Kronswarder Nature Reserve
                        Bird species such as cormorants and white-tailed eagles thrive in the reed beds. The watery areas provide feeding, moulting, and wintering grounds for many waterfowl. There's even more to discover on the new nature trail.

                            Worth seeing are memories of bygone days: In the Hohwacht dunes on the main beach, you can admire historic bathing huts from the 1950s. Speaking of admiring: If you follow the path above the wooded cliffs behind the beach promenade, you'll reach the Hohwacht Lookout viewing platform and be rewarded with a magnificent view of the entire bay. And now a real insider tip for the perfect vows: Rent the Flunder for your dream wedding in Hohwacht on the Baltic Sea.

                                  Hohwacht simply has charm. However, commerce continues to spread. The view of the beach is currently obstructed by condominiums and / or vacation homes.
                                  But the "butt" (viewing platform) and the path below and above the demolition edge are always worthwhile. And in almost every season.
