Hohwachter Flunder

The Hohwachter Flunder is an observation platform on the Baltic Sea coast near Hohwacht, built from oak planks and supported by a steel pylon. The structure allows visitors to view the coastline and water from different vantage points and heights.

The platform was built as Hohwacht transformed from a fishing village into a modern seaside resort while maintaining its maritime heritage. The structure reflects this balance between the area's seafaring past and present-day coastal living.

The platform serves as a gathering place for visitors and locals, especially during concerts, beach services, and seasonal celebrations with the Baltic Sea as a backdrop. These events have become part of the rhythm of life in this coastal town.

The structure is within walking distance of Hohwacht Pier and Kurpark, with direct access to walking paths and sandy beaches. Visitors should expect varying conditions depending on season and weather, and plenty of accessible routes to explore the surrounding coastal area.

From above, the platform takes the shape of a flounder, a flat fish found in these waters, which gives the structure its playful name and distinctive form. This unusual shape creates hidden corners and multiple routes for visitors to discover as they explore different sections of the platform.
