Haseldorf Harbour

Haseldorf Harbour
Natural sluice harbour that does sometimes dry up, with floating docks on the south eastern side. The harbour run by the Haseldorf Yacht Club is tide-dependent and can be successfully negotiated approximately two hours after low tide up to about two hours following high tide; easterly winds may lower the water levels considerably at times. Guests are welcomed with open arms and can use the slips marked in green upon agreement with the harbourmaster. Bicycles are available to borrow. Water and power hookups are available. Bathroom facilities are in the clubhouse, and a grilling area is open for use. Stores and overnight accommodations available about 1 km away in Haseldorf. www.wsc-haseldorf.de
