Seglerhafen Otterndorf

Seglerhafen Otterndorf sits at the mouth of the Elbe, where the river meets the North Sea at the edge of Germany's dramatic Wadden Sea coastline. This is the only marina in Otterndorf, making it the go-to base if you're sailing this stretch of Lower Saxony. The nearby town of Otterndorf itself is a well-preserved historic gem — seat of the Samtgemeinde Land Hadeln — with a compact old town worth exploring on foot once you're tied up.
