Grube: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Grube’s access to the Baltic Sea is Rosenfelder Strand, a 2.5-kilometre-long natural beach with no tourist tax. There are sections for dog owners and naturist guests; the beach is described as an untouched dune landscape.

Nature

The birdwatching station is located near Rosenfelder Strand. It covers 3 hectares of water and 11 hectares of extensively managed grassland. Three observation openings make it possible to watch various bird species from close up. The station is best reached on foot or by bicycle.

White storks nest on the former dairy chimney at Haus Avalon near the church. After returning from their wintering grounds, their nesting activity can be observed live.

Culture

The Grube Village Museum is located in a typical house dating from 1890 and presents a folklore and prehistoric collection on rural life before the introduction of modern technology. It also documents the harvesting and processing of reeds, as well as the drainage of Lake Grube in 1938.

St. Jürgen Church in Grube was first mentioned in official records in 1232 and is one of the oldest Early Gothic brick churches. It houses an important winged altarpiece from the 15th century, regarded as an important example of Late Gothic panel painting.
