Hetlinger Schanze Yacht Marina
Hetlinger Schanze Yacht Marina
Floating dock facility of the Hetlingen Yacht Club surrounded by sandy beaches (no swimming allowed). This little marina has a narrow entrance. Since large ships tend to leave behind a powerful wake, small breakers can tend to run through the marina at low tide. The nearest dining establishment is in Hetlingen (3 km), with shops and stores located 6 km away in Holm. Guest boat parking upon request. A container with bathroom facilities, old railway car that serves as a clubhouse, a grilling area, and a children’s playground are available at the marina. Slip track can be used upon request. By land it is only possible to reach the marina on foot or with a bicycle. Those travelling in a car can get as close as 800 m to the club premises. www.wsv-hetlingen.de
