Trip information

This trip is framed by two attractive harbour towns: from the Hanseatic city of Stralsund, we set course for Kiel. Along the way, we want to take time to explore the Baltic Sea coast between Germany and Denmark. Optional stopovers are possible on the Danish islands of Falster, Lolland, Langeland or Ærø. Depending on the wind direction, we can also choose from ports in Lübeck Bay, Heiligenhafen or on the island of Fehmarn for a shore leave. If the sea is calm, it will be possible to spend a night at anchor – one of the most relaxing highlights of any sailing trip. This week-long journey combines sailing experiences on the Baltic Sea, nature impressions in sheltered anchorages and eventful shore excursions.

This is where you board

Stralsund

The historic Hanseatic city on the Strelasund impresses with its UNESCO Old Town, Gothic brick churches, town hall, harbour, German Maritime Museum and historic St. John's Monastery. Visitors enjoy the maritime atmosphere, museums, city walls and the Rügen Bridge as the gateway to the island of Rügen.

The picturesque town centre with its brick Gothic buildings is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ozeaneum at the harbour sees itself as a declaration of love to the oceans, with 45 aquariums, some of them huge, an underwater journey through the northern seas, life-size replicas of whales and a penguin enclosure on the roof terrace. The modern architecture is reminiscent of sails billowing in the wind. Within sight of the Ozeaneum is a special maritime monument: the barque Gorch Fock (I), an identical sister ship to the German Navy's training ship.

The well-maintained tradition of beer brewing is kept alive at the Störtebeker Brewery. Our tip: round off your shore leave with a tour of the brewery.

This is where you disembark

Kiel

Kiel, the lively state capital of Schleswig-Holstein, impresses with its maritime flair. Sights include the Kiel harbours along the "Kiellinie" promenade, the Maritime Museum, the Kiel Fjord, the Botanical Gardens and the traditional Nikolai Church in the city centre.

There are numerous sights along the Kiel Fjord: from the naval memorial in Laboe on the eastern shore to the imposing Friedrichsort lighthouse, Falckenstein beach and Kiel-Holtenau with its historic Tiessenkai quay, small cafés and old warehouses.

In Holtenau on the western shore of the Kiel Fjord, you can watch the varied comings and goings at the locks of the Kiel Canal. From small sports yachts to ocean giants, watercraft of all types and sizes pass by us here during the day on the world's busiest artificial waterway. Take a short walk to the small Holtenau lighthouse and soak up the nostalgic harbour atmosphere – old cargo sailing ships and schooners are often to be found here.

Guestbook comments

I can highly recommend a sailing trip on the Eye of the Wind. This is a sailing ship straight out of a picture book, and the crew is in a great mood. You may climb to the top of the mast – 27 metres above sea level. Fabulous!"

It was a fabulous week. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Sailing like 100 years ago! A dream come true!

Seeing this magnificent sailing ship glide through the waves powered only by the wind is an indescribable feeling. There is nothing more beautiful.
