Kathrin_E Says: The main beaches of Döse, Duhnen and Sahlenburg face northwest. The beach promenade and the stone dams are the perfect balcony to enjoy the sunset show over the mudflats. The colours and reflections are amazing. Bring a camera.
Kathrin_E Says: The light vessel "Elbe 1" spent decades moored far out in the North Sea waters to show incoming ships the right way. It has been turned into a museum and is waiting for visitors next to Alte Liebe. Open Tuesday to Sunday 11.00-16.00 (not in winter)
Kathrin_E Says: The platform in the port area is perhaps the best place to observe the ships on the Elbe, as they are passing close by. The romantic name "Alte Liebe" (old love) derives from one of three old shipwrecks that were used as a foundation of the construction.
Kathrin_E Says: A ride in a horse-drawn carriage across 13 kms of dry sea bottom to the island of Neuwerk is the most amazing and unique experience Cuxhaven has to offer.The carriages make it to Neuwerk with one hour stay in the island and then back to Duhnen or Sahlenburg during one single...
Kathrin_E Says: Guided tours in the mudflats are a great way to learn more about the amazing variety of life in this delicate ecosystem. There are guided tours of all kinds, for kids, families, or adults, and even guided hiking tours across to the island of Neuwerk.Visit the tourist...
Wattwandern - Walking the Mudflats
Kathrin_E Says: There is nothing more relaxing than a walk on the soft ground underneath a big big sky, feeling the wind and watching out for all those little animals that live in the mudflats - and, which is singular for Cuxhaven, watching the big ships entering or leaving the river...
Kathrin_E Says: The mouth of the Elbe is one of the world's most frequented water 'highways'. Ships both to/from Hamburg and to/from the Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) pass here. Huge container carriers, up to 350 metres long, pass close to Kugelbake and Cuxhaven port. These vessels ARE...
Kathrin_E Says: The countryside is a paradise for bike rides. A network of biking trails offers plenty of opportunities. The lush green marshland is flat, the geestland further inward has a few small hills. Perfect for families. The kids will love the grazing animals everywhere - horses,...
Kathrin_E Says: The sandy beach is nice, the waters are calm, but swimming the sea is hardly possible. At high tide the water is too shallow even far out. I tried and managed to swim a bit but always had to keep my knees from getting stuck on the sea bottom.Swimming is possible a) at the...
nina_z Says: There are many ways how to get to the Neuwerk island which can be seen just off the coast from Cuxhaven. You can ride a horse or a horse drwan carriage but my favourite is to walk on foot. You'll get information on when it is possible (time of the low tide) from the tourist...

Veermaster D?se: Excellent Fish
MiMo1407 Says: I visited this place for lunch while on project in the area. The restaurant is located in the Hotel Veermaster, near the beach at Duhnen. Apparently, there are several Veermaster restaurants spread all over Cuxhaven. The meal was very convincing, and at a fairly low price....
Helpfulness
From Cuxhaven the boats leave to the Red Rock in the North Sea calles Helgoland (see my Helgoland-page too under Schlesswick-Holstein). This is a must see from Cuxhaven, but falls in another German "Bundesland" (state / province), however I have to mention the place from where you best can reach this unique rock in the sea.

Helpfulness
This was the start of the Shopping centre in Cuxhaven that we went through. I did'nt know where to start, and soon found myself being pulled into nearly everyone !
Oh well we work for money so why not spend it !
What to buy: Any good bargains, I found afew, and I believe that no matter where you are, there are will always be some to be found
What to pay: Depends on what you are buying, or what you want to buy.

Kathrin_E Says: Everywhere on the dikes you'll see sheep grazing. By keeping the grass short they are doing an important work for the protection of the coastline which no other animal could do. Sheep bite the grass off without tearing out the roots. Their little hooves do not cause holes in...
Kathrin_E Says: The "Fischerfest" takes place one weekend in late May as soon as the season's first Matjes herring is available. They claim to have a fish buffet that's one mile long - well, I'd rather not measure. Anyway, for those who like fish, this is a great opportunity to taste fresh...
Walking the mudflats: Observe timetable
Kathrin_E Says: Walking the mudflats is not dangerous during low tide and good weather but you MUST observe the hours. The tide calendar is put up everywhere at the entrances to the beach. Check because the hours of the tides change daily. Take a watch and observe the hours. Watch the red...
Something tickling your feet...?
Kathrin_E Says: The idea of a crab catching your toes with its pincers isn't too pleasant. During your first walks in the mudflats you will probably, just like I did, panic when something living tickles your feet. In 99% of the cases, the causer is completely harmless and almost invisible....
Kathrin_E Says: The church in Lüdingworth, a small village now a suburb of Cuxhaven, is known as the "peasants' cathedral". How to get there? Great cycling tour from the seaside suburbs!The peasants of this region, the Land Hadeln, were more or less politically indipendent - officially they...
Nixter01 Says: Not exactly what this tower is, some people have suggested it to be a lighthouse, but not sure if it is or not, but its certainly a very different sight to see in the distance instead of normal buildings.( If anyone knows what it is, I'd be grateful to know )

Cuxhaven is one on the few places on the mainland where the mudflats are sandy and solid, thus can be walked safely. About 10-15 kms of sea shore fall dry at low tide, so no matter how crowded the...
