Also exciting for culture enthusiasts: Kiel, about 30 km away, with its city gallery and art hall. Children love visiting the Zoological Museum or the Aquarium Kiel. This is especially worth it on a rainy day when you don't want to spend it in your holiday home or apartment at Kiel Bay. The Ostseehalle is the largest event hall in the state, and Kiel Castle is a nationally significant center for classical music. Once one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings in Schleswig-Holstein, the castle was reduced to the West Wing due to wars and fires. Today, the building, charmingly located between the harbor and the castle garden, serves as a concert hall. If you want to get to know the city, it's best to start on the water. A two-hour harbor tour, a trip with the ferry to the Naval Memorial Laboe, or a day trip on the fjord with a traditional sailing ship are great fun. The municipality of Laboe is a residential and vacation spot and boasts the slogan "The Sunny Side of Kiel Fjord." And of course, the fjord is a paradise for sailors and other water sports enthusiasts - even outside the famous Kiel Week.
