Husum's inland harbor is the picturesque heart of the city and a lively place where maritime flair, history, and cozy get-togethers come together.
Atmosphere & Architecture
Colorful gabled houses: The harbor is lined with pastel-colored merchant houses and old warehouses that speak of the Hanseatic past.
Water, Wind & Ships: Shrimp boats, sailboats, and excursion boats are moored, while seagulls circle the harbor basin.
Theodor Storm charm: The poet coined the image of the "gray city by the sea," but the harbor shows Husum from its vibrant side.
Activities & Highlights
Fish market & crab sales: Fresh North Sea fish and the famous "Husum crabs" are offered directly from the boats.
Harbor cafés & restaurants: Cozy eateries like the "Schiffahrtsmuseum-Café" or "Zum Anker" serve maritime specialties with a view of the water.
Husum Harbor Concerts: Open-air concerts take place in the summer among historic warehouses.
Maritime Events: The Husum Harbor Days (annually in August) attract visitors with music, arts and crafts, and traditional sailing ships.
