Timmendorfer Strand - undoubtedly one of Schleswig-Holstein's best seaside resorts - is a favourite vacation destination for both sports enthusiasts and those seeking relaxation alike. Enjoy the endless sandy beaches with a casual stroll or invigorating jog. Read a good book in the shade of a roofed wicker beach chair or work on your tan while swimming.

Peruse the exclusive shops lining Timmendorfer Platz or sit in one of the cosy cafes and watch the world go by over the rim of your cappuccino... Active or not, it's simply a fantastic place to be.

Niederegger Marzipan

Nothing is associated with the Hanseatic city of Lübeck more than the Holsten Gate and the marzipan made by Niederegger.

Those entering the Café Niederegger can also visit the museum upstairs. Among other exhibitions - including a historical journey that traces marzipan's roots back to the Orient - the museum is also home to 12 life size marzipan figures - each an accurate representation of a famous marzipan fan from various epochs.
