Tips from the Community
Once an important fishing and trading town, the harbor of Eckernförde is now more tourist-oriented. Fishermen still head out to sea and sell their fresh catch directly from the cutter. The wooden bascule bridge leading to the Borby district is a striking feature. The information boards, which allow for a direct comparison between the past and the present, are a real eye-catcher.

Here you should go a bit slower and take a closer look at the pretty houses. The hustle and bustle of the harbor and beach are quickly forgotten in the narrow alleys.
