Schleimünde is a peninsula at the beginning of Germany's one and only fjord Schlei. It can only reached by ship, since the land connection with the mainland is a bird sanctuary.
About 30 ships can be mooring in the habour. Who will not arrive on ones own keel can reach Schleimünde several times a day by excursion boat starting in Kappeln.
There is a little restaurant, "Giftbude", the House of the harbor master and the old pilots house. Schleimünde belongs to the Lighthouse Foundation, which is maintaining it and takes care of the nature reserve. The old pilothouse can be booked for seminars and workshops by groups.
At the beginning of the west bridge is a statue of artist Jonas Kötz who graved the sculpture "Hannes Schlie" from an old pile which stood for about 80 years in the harbor of Hamburg.
To defend the land from erosion the beach at the seaside was filled with gravel originating from a danish gravel-pit. In this till many many fossils can be found.
The children have the best playground at the beach with huge piles of stones which serve for endless games on long warm summer evenings. There is a little beach at the harbor side where they can flounder in shallow water.
The evenings are of special beauty!
