Trip information

This short trip is an excellent way to get a taste of traditional sailing! From our berth in Kiel-Holtenau, we will sail along the Schleswig-Holstein Baltic Sea coast. A port in the Danish South Sea is planned as a stopover and turning point. Depending on the weather and wind direction, Bagenkop, Marstal or Sønderborg are possible choices. This trip takes place during Kiel Sailing Week – a varied programme of events on land and spectacular views of the fjord are therefore guaranteed. During your few days on board, you will enjoy the comfort and excellent cuisine, experience genuine traditional seamanship and discover how it feels to go ashore in the evening after a day at sea.

This is where you board

Kiel

Experience the impressive Kiel Canal with a view of the locks and enjoy walks by the water. Discover the lighthouse monument where Kaiser Wilhelm II once opened the canal. Relax in the café with a view of the passing ships.

In Holtenau, on the western shore of the Kiel Fjord, the Tiessenkai complex is a maritime attraction and focal point. Here you have the opportunity to watch the varied comings and goings in front of the locks of the Kiel Canal. From small sports yachts to ocean giants, watercraft of all types and sizes pass by us during the day on the world's busiest artificial waterway. On a walk to the small Holtenau lighthouse, you can soak up the nostalgic harbour atmosphere – old cargo sailors and schooners are often moored here at the quay.
Make the most of your stay by exploring the Kiel Fjord, spending a day at Falckenstein beach or taking a trip into the world of sailing at the Olympic harbour in Schilksee or the marina in Strande.

Guestbook comments

Simply an overwhelming experience - you have to experience it.

Dr Hermann Gärlich
fellow sailor, about his voyage between Vigo and Tenerife

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

Ulf Kaack
Fellow sailor and author of maritime books, about his trip in the Western Baltic Sea

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!"

Claus-Georg Petri
Fellow sailor and journalist, about his cruise in the South Funen Archipelago

Sailing like 100 years ago! A dream come true!
