The Maritime Museum in the former fish market building has been showcasing the history of the port city of Kiel since 1978. Several museum ships complement the exhibition. More info: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schifffahrtsmuseum_Kiel

Beautiful trail with an iconic name. Possible with a road bike, but better with a gravel bike or mountain bike.

A really nice place for a short break, in summer also good for a quick cool down 🏊

The Hasseldieksdamm animal enclosure is one of five in Kiel. You can admire sika deer, wisent, bison, Heidschnucke sheep, and aurochs. Plenty of benches invite you to take a break, and children can enjoy the Mouse Trail and several play areas in the forest. One of Kiel's local recreation areas. You can't forget the city; the traffic can be clearly heard.

Not recommended in the evening hours due to the many insects. Otherwise, a beautiful view directly along the canal.

The historic Kiel boat harbor used to be a trading harbor, but boats have not been moored here for a long time. Today it is a popular meeting place with seating steps on the water, a stage and a floating pontoon. Since 2015, the Holstenfleet has connected it again with Kleiner Kiel. Many events take place here, especially during Kiel Week and the boat harbor summer. A walk around the boat harbor is always worthwhile. It is 1/3 km long.
