Summer on the fjord: Kiel's beaches start the bathing season
From Schilksee and Falckenstein to the beach at Moeltenort, Kiel's fjord beaches once again invite people to swim, sail and stroll.
With summer, the bathing season begins on Kiel's fjord. Popular destinations include the beaches at Schilksee and Falckenstein and on the opposite side of the fjord. Many stretches offer shallow water, lawns and nearby food options. Water sports from sailing to stand-up paddling are part of Kiel's summer scene. The city points to the designated bathing spots and the applicable notices on water quality, and recommends arriving by bus, bike and, at some destinations, the fjord ferry.
