In the location's words:

Ship ahoy!

Close your eyes, bare your feet, sip a cocktail! And everyday life is 1000 nautical miles away. Unbelievable - a real feel-good, chill-out and mood area.

Whether at the weekend when BVB is playing, during the week in the giant sandpit with the kids, on Sunday afternoon in one of the numerous deckchairs or in the evening with music and partying. With fries from the fish stall or other delicacies from the cook in the galley, no stomach is left empty.

Did you know why this delightful place is called Herr Walter? Walter was the name of the bulk cargo ship anchored here. Oliver, captain of the Herr Walter, discovered the faded letters during the naming process - tadaaa!
