The Eider, Schleswig-Holstein's longest river, stretches 188 kilometers from its source to its mouth in the North Sea. The river begins in the hilly moraine region south of Kiel, more precisely at the Heickenteich and a small lake on the Schönhagen estate. From there, the Eider winds its way through the state in numerous twists and turns, initially as the Upper Eider, past Rendsburg, where it empties into the Kiel Canal. The river's course is interrupted by the canal but continues westward until it empties into the North Sea near Tönning.

We just wanted to go to the crazy house. Admission is €5 per person in 2025. But you have to pay extra for the park entrance! So with four adults, you only pay for the crazy house you want to visit, €82! Technically, it would be possible to create a separate entrance to the house. You have to get a separate coin at the ticket office to enter the house. The park is fenced in, and the house is also fenced in separately within the park, and can only be visited with a special chip or coin... Sorry, I meant it but didn't know how...

The path directly along the shore is well-surfaced, so you can get here easily on foot or by bike. There are a few benches where you can sit and relax, as the view of the fjord is magnificent. You can see the Friedrichsort lighthouse, the naval memorial in Laboe in the distance, or the eastern shore. There are often various ships moored here, waiting to enter the Kiel Canal (NOK). There is always something to see, and it is different every day.
