By the way, you can use all of the facilities mentioned as often and for as long as you like—throughout your entire stay! No other vacation rental offers this, making it a truly special service for our guests!!

ON-SITE SWIMMING POOL, STEAM ROOM, AND FINNISH SAUNA:
The on-site “subtropical” swimming pool, with a pleasant water temperature of approximately 28 degrees, is the centerpiece of the facility and is available exclusively to vacation guests at no cost whatsoever. It measures an impressive 70 square meters and was recently completely redesigned, so you can look forward to a high-quality atmosphere. In addition, our guests have the option to use the two “sauna & relaxation areas” for a minimal fee of approximately 1–2 euros per session. Here, you’ll find two different saunas (including a relaxation room, lockers, and changing and shower facilities). One is a classic Finnish sauna (with waterfall showers), where you can enhance your sauna experience with aromatic infusions, for example, and the other is a sauna area featuring a spacious steam room.

BEACH AND RELAXATION:
In Duhnen, you’ll find beach as far as the eye can see—and practically right on your doorstep. You can reach the kilometer-long, fine-sand beach, the Wadden Sea, and the North Sea quickly and conveniently on foot from our vacation rental in about 5–7 minutes. Just walk down a side street and you’re there: right in the center of Duhnen, with its numerous beach access points. On Duhnen’s sandy beach, children and adults alike can enjoy wonderful swimming in the clean, gently sloping water. Splashing around, swimming, building sandcastles, snorkeling, playing, surfing, sailing, taking hours-long walks, or simply relaxing on the sand or in your own beach chair (already included with your stay!)—the choice is yours. There’s also a special, separately designated activity beach and even its own “Stadion am Meer,” where you’ll find various beach sports fields and a regular program of activities and events from May through September.

WADDEN SEA & OCEAN:
In addition to the long North Sea beach at Duhn, the Wadden Sea—which, by the way, is part of the world’s largest Wadden Sea—is, of course, the region’s absolute highlight. At low tide, you’ll have the unique opportunity to walk on the seabed and make interesting discoveries. A walk to the tidal creeks is especially worthwhile, where you can take a relaxing dip in the often-warm water. By the way, a walk on the mudflats is exceptionally healthy and stimulates the entire body. We also highly recommend joining one of the many mudflat tours. These range from guided tours for nature lovers and family outings to “searching for Ernst in the mudflats.” Almost year-round, you also have the opportunity to explore the Wadden Sea by horse-drawn carriage or mudflat wagon and take a trip across the seabed to the island of Neuwerk.

YOUR VACATION DESTINATION, DUHNEN:
In Duhnen, you can enjoy either a relaxing beach or wellness vacation, an active sports vacation, or a fun-filled family vacation. There’s something for everyone. Thanks to the attractive and central location of your vacation apartment, you’re just a few minutes’ walk from the center of Duhnen—the heart of this North Sea spa town. Here you’ll find everything a vacationer could wish for: a variety of bars, cafés, ice cream parlors, and restaurants (ranging from home-style, traditional North German, and international cuisine to luxurious fine dining), as well as numerous shops, boutiques, galleries, and souvenir stores just waiting to be discovered. The harbor and shipping have a long tradition in Cuxhaven/Duhnen and give the town its distinctive charm. Combined with its often luxurious Art Nouveau buildings, Duhnen is a high-quality and incredibly diverse vacation destination that has nevertheless managed to retain the “flair of the good old days.” We also recommend the well-known Ahoi Adventure & Seawater Spa (featuring, among other things, a large sauna area, slides, a thalasso & wellness center; various massages, beauty, and wellness treatments available) right in Duhnen.
NEW: Climbing park, adventure golf course, and maritime experience museum.

PORT AND ATMOSPHERE—TYPICALLY NORTH GERMAN:
Cuxhaven is often called the “Gateway to the Wide World.” After all, it is home to several major ports, such as the seaport, the Amerikahafen, and the fishing boat and fishing harbor. Tourists are never ceased to be fascinated by the huge container ships. A stroll to the fishing harbor is particularly impressive, where you’ll be treated to a spectacular sight as the many crab and deep-sea fishing boats lie side by side in the harbor basin. Here you also have the opportunity to buy fish and other seafood, fresh from the catch, directly from the fishing boats! Cuxhaven also has a dock for luxury liners, from which various emigrant ships once set sail for the “New World.” Today, in addition to large container ships and the ferry to England, you can marvel at huge cruise ships like the Queen Mary II. Some of these “giant ships” are passing through on their way to Hamburg, while others dock directly in Cuxhaven and set sail from here into the wider world.

CULTURE, ENTERTAINMENT & ATTRACTIONS IN THE REGION:
There’s always something going on in Duhnen. A variety of sports activities—such as surfing, golf, horseback riding, water skiing, bowling, and more—ensure an action-packed, active vacation. Even when the weather is bad, numerous cultural events keep boredom at bay. For example, Cuxhaven hosts over 3,500 (!) events a year, ranging from concerts featuring shanty choirs and sea shanties to spectacular shows, theater performances, and concerts by many renowned artists. In the summer, there are even up to three spa concerts every day. Other event highlights include, for example, the Wattfest, the world-famous Duhner Watt Race, and the Summer Evening by the Sea. Also particularly worth seeing are Fort Kugelbarke, the Windstärke 10 interactive museum, the Aeronauticum, Ritzebüttel Castle, Bederkesa Castle, the Learning & Demonstration Shipyard, the museum ship, the Natureum, the zoo right in the spa park, as well as excursions to Heligoland (duty-free shopping), Bremerhaven, Bremen, Stade, and Hamburg.

HEALTHY & RELAXED:
The climate on the North Sea coast in and around Duhnen is exceptionally healthy. The healthy, salty sea air is particularly beneficial for people with respiratory and skin problems, but the climate also often has a soothing effect on muscle tension. Spending time on the beach or in the mudflats is therefore akin to being in a large inhalation chamber, where the many healing properties of the marine climate benefit all the body’s organs. This promotes your relaxation and strengthens your immune system. You’ll notice how the healthy climate noticeably enhances your personal well-being!! By the way, the weather in Duhnen is almost always different (often better) than what the TV weather report predicts. Tides, wind, and climate—as well as the influence of the Gulf Stream, which brings oceanic warmth to the North Sea off Cuxhaven—often cause rapid weather changes and leave little time for prolonged rain!
