Dierhagen, municipality of Germany
Dierhagen is a coastal settlement on the Baltic Sea in northeastern Germany comprising six smaller villages. The location features long sandy beaches, harbor facilities with mooring spaces, coastal forests, and wetland areas behind the dunes.
The harbor in Dandorf was once a transhipment point for salt trade before the settlement later became a stopping place for water travelers. The small village church, which houses a model ship from 1799 inside, testifies to the area's long maritime history.
The settlement comprises six villages, with many houses featuring thatched roofs that define its traditional character. This building style reflects how residents have shaped their surroundings for generations while maintaining their connection to the landscape.
The location is well equipped with cycling paths and walking trails that lead directly to the water, making it possible to explore the area without a car. Visitors can find information at the guest house and join guided tours, which are especially suitable for families with children.
The old Zeesenboote, traditional wooden fishing boats, can still be seen in the harbor today and are used for boat trips or can be visited. These boats represent a craft tradition that was used for Baltic Sea fishing for centuries.
