The harbor of Kappeln is located directly on the Schlei River and has been an important center of the city for centuries. In the past, it was of particular importance for fishing, trade, and cargo handling. Today, sailboats, excursion boats, historic ships, and small harbor facilities characterize the maritime image.

The view along the quays towards the Schlei and the opposite banks is particularly charming. The harbor connects Kappeln's history as a fishing and trading town with today's tourism and recreational boating.

With its museum harbor, harbor promenade, and historic warehouse buildings, Kappeln harbor is one of the city's characteristic sights.

In a small harbor bar, they served the best soft ice cream I've ever eaten. Highly recommended and a must-try.

When children's swings hang in apple trees and a porch swing on your doorstep, you are in a breathtaking area. Again and again you could cycle through fantastic roads along the sea. Through Arnis, one or even the smallest town in Germany with lovingly decorated houses, take a break at the harbor and just enjoy the silence and wonderful views. …

We continue towards Rabel. However, a detour to Gut Buckhagen, …

Holiday end tour 😢
After the visit to Arnis on the Schlei a few days ago didn't work out, the ferry service is currently suspended due to illness, we cycled there again today from Kappeln via the old harbor on the Schleiufer.
In a big arc, it then went back to Kappeln.
