Hohen Wieschendorf: Beach, Nature and Manor History

Hohen Wieschendorf combines the Baltic coast, nature observation and the history of an old manor village. Around the marina, sandy beaches, beach chairs and a narrow hiking trail invite you to enjoy different kinds of holiday experiences. Those choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home for their trip can therefore weigh up active coastal experiences, maritime orientation, landscape observation and historical discoveries.

Coast and Nature Around the Marina

Hohen Wieschendorf Marina is located in the middle of a Natura 2000 protected area. When planning a stay with a maritime focus, one seasonal detail is important: To protect resting and wintering birds, the marina is closed from 15 October to 15 April and may not be entered during this period. From mid-April to mid-October, 100 berths as well as a crane and slipway facility are available there.

The sandy beach around the marina is equipped with beach chairs. On the headland of Hohen Wieschendorf, a narrow hiking trail runs either directly along the beach or above the steep coast. Both options offer views across Wismar Bay, towards the island of Poel and westwards over Wohlenberger Wiek. The different trail routes also make the coast interesting for families who like to choose between proximity to the beach and elevated viewpoints on their excursions.

The landscape is not limited to beach and water. Cliffs characterize the western and northern parts of the Hohen Wieschendorf headland. During the summer season, mute swans, dabbling ducks, red-breasted mergansers and gulls stay in the shallow water north of the headland. East of the landing stage lies a closed salt meadow that is particularly well suited to birdwatching. Those who want to experience animals and the coastal landscape attentively will find a distinctly different holiday focus here than on a purely beach-based day.

Manor History and Special Experiences

Hohen Wieschendorf is considered an old manor village. The estate was owned by the Bade family from 1778 to 1884, while the manor house belonged to the Glantz family from 1912 to 1945. The village is also associated with Wilhelm Bade, who organized the first northern and polar cruises to the Arctic until the end of the 19th century. This history gives the coastal village an unusual historical perspective alongside its natural attractions.

There are also specific starting points for varied holiday experiences. Bades Huk Golf Club has an 18-hole championship course on a peninsula extending into the Baltic Sea. The cycle path at Eggerswiek begins in the center of Hohen Wieschendorf and is signposted towards Beckerwitz. At the Hohen Wieschendorf location, Erdbeerhof Glantz offers freshly sawn Christmas trees and self-cutting every December. Depending on the time of year, this allows you to combine the coast, cycling, nature observation, golf or a seasonal tradition.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Travel Plans?

Hohen Wieschendorf is developing into the main tourist destination of the municipality of Hohenkirchen. The village includes a marina, Bades Huk, a newly developed holiday apartment complex and other holiday accommodations. When looking for accommodation, it helps to decide on your preferred focus in advance: Those who primarily want to experience beach paths and views across Wismar Bay will plan differently from someone who wants to focus on birdlife, manor history or a bike tour towards Beckerwitz. The options mentioned are not necessarily located in the same place; rather, they show how differently you can shape your stay in Hohen Wieschendorf.
