bonio Says: Very good beach, strange shelters too, but they look effective wind breaks. Volleyball to watch and several bars overlooking too. The water is very shallow, I had to go a long way out for a swim...mind the boats!
bonio Says: One of the few surviving U-Boats. In surprisingly good condition and an interesting trip around it. Tiny inside, whatever the history I had to admire the courage of the crew. More photos on t'logue
bonio Says: Cafe serving authentic Croat food as well as local favorites. Owner originally from Dudrovnik, hence the name, food very good, have a slivovitz to wash the food down too mmmmm.
Near the Beach shop have some fish and chips
Audrey118 Says: There are lots of little kiosk like this with their food displayed out. My husband bought a crepe from one kiosk, and also some spaggetti from another. I was recommended by a lady in a small souvenier stall that this stall with blue and white awning is clean. I had ordered...
Gentleman75 Says: You can find information about how You can get to Laboe on the official website of Laboe.
bonio Says: The nearest rail station is Kiel, the bus station is next door. Take bus # 100 or #101, the journey is around 1/2 hour.
Audrey118 Says: It is best to first walk along the beach area and then on your way back to the ferry pier walk in the inside and you can peep into houses, and their lovely gardens. The roads here are also made for cyclist
Audrey118 Says: We decided to take a ferry ride from Kiel to Laboe. There are lots of people who commute to and fro Laboe. For us it was to see the Naval Memorial. You should look up the timetable for the ferry ride. As our hotel is near the Schlossgarten we could cathc the ferry from...
sabsi Says: The Marine-Ehrenmal, a memorial for all people who died on sea (On the pic you can see it in the background). It was opened in 1936, and that's why it has this ugly Nazi-style architechture. I hated the inside! Full of flags and war heroes, YUCK! What I really enjoyed,...
bonio Says: Hire a bike in the town (tourist office has details) and head off up the coast, there is a cyclepath - no traffic. We managed to get as far as Schonberger Strand around 15km away I guess, much easier going back with the wind behind us! Only my second time on a bike in about...
Audrey118 Says: It was a pleasant surprise to see Laboe as more than a naval memorial. I suppose people would come here during the summer and play with their dogs, run around the beach and eat ice creams, swim a little etc, These beach chairs are really unqiue - I think they are for rent!!!...
