Wadden SeaWhy not experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site at first hand? This landscape gets submerged with water twice a day, and then dries out again, something that is unique in the world. Covering almost 10,000 square kilometres, the Wadden Sea is one of the largest wetland areas on the planet, a unique natural landscape with fascinating animal and plant life. Visitors to Wadden Sea can experience this nature in all its glory, be it on guided Wadden hikes, excursions organised by the UNESCO World Heritage Site Wadden Sea Visitor Centre or a trip across the sea bed with a horse and carriage at low tide. In any case, a visit to Neuwerk Island in the Wadden Sea is certainly worth it.
:: UNESCO World Heritage Site Wadden Sea Visitor Centre Discover the World Heritage Site Wadden Sea spread across three floors! The Wadden Sea Visitor Centre for Cuxhaven in the district of Sahlenburg is located on the beach overlooking Neuwerk Island. What creates tides? What are living there hidden away? What are the impacts of climate change? Answers to these questions reveal why the Wadden Sea is so special, and why it needs protecting. The recently revamped

:: Exploring Neuwerk Island Visitors can gaze from Cuxhaven out to the sea and make out the silhouette of the small island of Neuwerk in the distance. It is a popular excursion destination for guests on the mainland. If visitors do not want to take one of the numerous Wadden wagons, they can walk across the seabed to the island at low tide. In contrast to the Wadden wagons, however, it is not possible to walk back again; instead, it’s a journey back on the “MS Flipper” operated by the Cassen Eils shipping line.Info: www.neuwerkreisen.de
Water qualityWater samples are collected regularly at various points along the Cuxhaven coast and tested in line with strict European regulations. Results of these water quality tests can be requested from “CUX-Tourismus GmbH”, the tourism offices, “Nordseeheilbad Cuxhaven GmbH” and the lifeguard sta-tions.
Weather and climate Low tide and high tide, then the wind ushers in a change to the weather, giving just a small window for long-lasting rain. The island-like climate with its salty air and wind stimulates the body’s circulation and improves general wellbeing. Walking against the wind is just as much a part of a North Sea holiday as lazing in a beach chair in the sun. Daily weather forecasts are available on the internet.

Thalassotherapy Thalassotherapy uses the healing power of the sea to provide holistic therapy. Supplemented by balneology methods, physiotherapy, physical medicine as well as health instruction, this therapy also includes the use of fresh sea water, mud, algae, aerosols, salt as well as the healthy North Sea climate. A Thalasso spa or wellness holiday in Cuxhaven is always a worthwhile investment for any visitor’s health. As far back as 1816,
Cuxhaven established itself as a North Sea Spa resort, not least because of its fantastic location on the North Sea, the positive influence of the sea climate on the immune system and the medicinal use of sea water. Cuxhaven is in a favourable climatic zone as temperature fluctuations are not as extreme as they are inland. The sea cools down slower than the land with the salt storing heat.
Thalassotherapy Centre ahoi!
In the Thalasso Bathing House on the sea, visitors will find everything that makes up a modern thalassotherapy centre: modern facilities to prepare freshly-drawn sea water for bathing and inhalation; high-quality therapy and spa facilities; a roof terrace for climate therapy and heliotherapy; a pano-ramic sauna with a sea view; a bathing complex with wave

Sand beach Be it for digging, building castles or just getting that sand-between-the-toes feeling, Cuxhaven has many sand beaches. Six kilometres of sandy beach extends past the districts of Sahlenburg, Duhnen and Döse up to the “Kugelbake”. Beaches are cleaned regularly, daily in summer.
Schloss Ritzebüttel Dating back to 1340, the redbrick Schloss Ritzebüttel is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Attentive walkers will also discover modern sculptures again and again, placed between ancient trees and blooming bushes. Visitors can enjoy even more art in a series of exhibitions in the Schloss and in the Artists’ House directly adjacent to the Schloss.Information about opening times and tours Tel.: +49-4721 721812
Sea Airport Cuxhaven / Nordholz Airport Motorists can reach the airport via the Autobahn A27 / Nordholz junction and then by following the signs to “See-Flughafen”.Info: www.sea-airport.com
Semaphore Dating back to 1884, the “Semaphore” is a wind strength and wind direction indicator, located next to the “Alte Liebe”. This monument showing technical prowess is set daily according to current weather reports.
Shopping
Cuxhaven, a maritime shopping town on the North Sea, not only attracts visitors from the region; it draws in many holiday-makers to stroll, look and spend their time. Known for its
little side streets, “Nordersteinstraße” Shopping Centre has many interesting fashion and independent retailers, not to mention numerous small eateries and large restaurants. Many street cafés invite visitors to sit back and spend time relaxing in those summer months. Anyone wishing to discover that maritime feel could not go wrong in the “Deichstraße” or the “Kapitän-Alexander-Straße”, ideal just for rummaging or simply relaxing to a touch of seafaring romance. The “Schillerstraße” in the “Lotsenviertel” (Sailors’ Quarter) has a nice selection of retail and specialist stores. A large shopping centre is located right next to the train station, acting as a kind of gateway to the old fishing port with its rustic eateries. The area known as “Abschnede” possesses a broad range of larger specialist stores, markets and restaurants. The district of Duhnen does not just have souvenir shops around the village well; it also offers many specialist shops, open every day during the season. There is also a small shopping centre in the district of Sahlenburg on the beach itself, open every day in summer.
“Steubenhöft” and Hapag Halls From the glittering domed hall to the “Steubenhöft” berth, the historic passenger hall is open for visits and tours. Different exhibitions on the first floor of the reception building, such as “Farewell and off to America”, cast visitors back in time to a long- forgotten era when the “Quay of Tears” saw thousands emi-grate to America. A whole host of musical events take place daily in these former waiting rooms.Info: www.hapaghalle-cuxhaven.de
Swimming pools :: Adventure pool in the Thalassotherapy Centre ahoi!
The sea has been brought indoors for visitors to the Thalasso-therapy Centre ahoi! Swimming in the surf or in the seawater as well as against the rapids are all possible in the wave pool. Alongside the wave pool, there are six different saunas and a steam bath, an outside pool with bubble loungers, relaxation rooms, a whirlpool, and a pool and sauna bistro. Kids paradise awaits youngsters. Specially designed access to the beach means that use of the beach and the Wadden are both possible on a whole-day visit to Thalassotherapy Centre ahoi!
Info: www.ahoi-cuxhaven.de
:: Seawater open-air pool Steinmarne: swimmers can swim in heated sea water on the dyke in July and August, regardless of the tide.

Favourite placesCUX-Info – including map
From the “Kugelbake” to Duhnen, the beaches and the beach promenade have barrier-free access in many places. Information on barrier-free access is available in the “Barrier-free beach access” leaflet.Info: www.nordseeheilbad-cuxhaven.de
Bathing Shallow waters at the beaches of Sahlenburg, Duhnen and Döse are ideal for the little ones to splash around and cool off to their hearts’ content. From June until September, one hour before and one hour after each high tide, swimmers may swim in designated areas in Grimmershörn and Alten-bruch, both of which are monitored by a qualified lifeguard. There is another designated bathing area on the natural beach in Berensch-Arensch.Info: www.nordseeheilbad-cuxhaven.de
Beach promenade
From the “Kugelbake” to Duhnen, the beach promenade not only has undulating scenery and many places to sit and soak up the maritime feel; it offers a wonderful view of the Wadden Sea and the ships sailing on the North Sea. There are oppor-tunities for kid pirates to play; for visitors to eat on the seafront, accessible to all with barrier-free access. Roughly 300 meters in length, the promenade in Altenbruch is great for ship spotting, and has even been designed in the shape of a ship.Info: www.nordseeheilbad-cuxhaven.de
Beach railway Between April and September, the “Jan Cux” beach railway operates a two-hourly service on the beach promenade between the “Alte Liebe” and the Duhnen naturist beach. The Dune railway runs from
Duhnen (Badhotel Sternhagen stop) via the Duhnen Heath to Sahlenburg. Visitors can take the weight off their feet and travel these longer distances in comfort.
Beach sport / Family beach Over the past few years, the “VGH Stadion am Meer” has established itself as one of best-known beach sport centres in Germany. Beach tournaments take place from June to August
permanent exhibition allows every visitor to find out about the World Heritage Site Wadden Sea for themselves. It now presents the Wadden Sea to the wide audience of visitors, ranging from kindergarten children to adults.Info: www.nationalpark-wattenmeer-cuxhaven.de
:: The “Blue Classroom” ProjectAn environmental project for children and young people located right on the sea – the “Blue Classroom” has been taking place annually between June and August for over 10 years. Children and youngsters get to know the World Heritage Site in a playful way. School groups can book lessons lasting up to two hours. A comprehensive exhibition with over 60 exhibits is on display. Meeting point: Guest Centre Beach House Döse. The programme is available at: www.blaues-klassenzimmer.de
:: Wadden wagonRiding the Wadden wagon across the seabed is a must for every holidaymaker in Cuxhaven. Lasting four hours, this excursion also includes a one-hour stay on Neuwerk Island.Info: www.cuxhaven-tours.de/wattwagenfahrten.html
:: Individual Wadden hikes Hiking barefoot across the seabed is a really special experience, only made possible by the tides of the North Sea. But being caught up by the incoming tide can have fatal consequences. Visitors are asked to follow this safety advice: a raised red signal ball on lifeguard stations means that visitors must return to the beach immediately. In the event of fog, visitors are not allowed to go onto the mudflats. Wadden hiking time in the “Sahlenburger Watt” begins and ends 20 minutes earlier than
