Discover Marienhafe
Accommodation in Marienhafe
Marienhafe combines East Frisian tea culture with a distinctive mill history and views from the 32-metre-high Störtebeker Tower. There are also cycling routes through several towns and a sports pool with its own baby splash pool. This means you can tailor your stay to a wide range of interests: discover culture, enjoy the outdoors or spend time in the water.
Tower, Church and Störtebekerland
Those who climb the Störtebeker Tower can enjoy sweeping views across East Frisia as far as the East Frisian Islands in good weather. The tower houses a museum documenting the construction history of St. Mary’s Church. The Störtebekerland Cultural Route also passes through Marienhafe: it extends to the market square, where St. Mary’s Church, the Störtebeker Tower and the Störtebeker Monument are located. This gives you a distinctive cultural perspective on Marienhafe when choosing where to stay; weather permitting, the tower also offers a viewpoint with far-reaching views.
Mill history in different forms
The Tjücher Mill is a two-storey gallery Dutch windmill. It includes a miller’s house and outbuildings, and was built in 1895/96. Its grinding and pearl-barley milling mechanisms are also specific features of the mill. Another type of mill is the double-piston water-pumping mill, which can be visited. If you are interested in architectural styles and historic technology, there is more to discover here than a single mill. You can learn about the Tjücher Mill through its design and associated buildings; the water-pumping mill, which is open to visitors, adds another type of mill to this subject area.
Cycling through the surrounding area
The “Peat Canals and Towpaths” cycling tour passes through Hage, Arle, Großheide and Marienhafe and is about 30 kilometres long. The approximate distance helps you consider including this tour in your stay, without implying a specific journey time. The varied landscape in and around the holiday resort of Marienhafe also invites you to enjoy longer cycling tours. If cycling is to be a focus of your trip, Marienhafe is interesting not only as a place to visit in its own right, but also as part of a tour through several towns.
Water, tea and events
The Störtebeker Sports Pool has a 25-metre sports pool as well as a separate baby splash pool with a water temperature of 28 degrees. At Störtebeker’s Tea Room in the heart of Marienhafe, you can enjoy the tradition of East Frisian tea in a cosy East Frisian atmosphere. Concerts and events are also held at Haus Dieker. This gives you a pool, a tea room and an event venue as different options to consider when planning your holiday.
Peaceful nature and fishing
The peacefully situated Tjücher Moortun lies in a local recreation area. A fishing permit is required to fish there. So if you plan to visit this place for your interests, you will also need to obtain a permit. The experiences you want to focus on can therefore also influence your choice of holiday apartment in Marienhafe.
