The Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn is one of the sunniest regions in Germany and offers holiday property buyers plenty of other reasons to shine in the sun. Variety like sand by the sea ensures a good occupancy rate and numerous holiday guests from all over Europe.
Read on to find out which places on Fehmarn are ideal for buying a holiday property, what types of holidaymakers the Baltic Sea island appeals to, what types of holiday flats and holiday homes are for sale on Fehmarn and why you should definitely try a "Kröpel"!
Fehmarn lies between the Bay of Kiel and the Bay of Mecklenburg and is capturing more and more holidaymakers' hearts. In spring, Germany's third-largest Baltic Sea island is completely immersed in yellow due to the endless rapeseed fields. Four nature reserves and tens of thousands of migratory birds make Fehmarn a natural paradise.
Fehmarn is also a paradise for holidaymakers with 300 km of cycle paths, 17 surf spots, great events, restaurants and farm cafés. Ideal for an eventful holiday and an attractive rental yield on holiday properties.
The holiday properties for sale are at least as varied as the Baltic Sea island. Whether for your own use or as an investment - you have plenty of choice on Fehmarn: Flats by Danish designer and architect Arne Jacobsen, holiday homes in a rural idyll on one of the many farms, holiday flats at one of the marinas or chic new-build projects with direct access to the beach.
The ferries to Denmark depart from Puttgarden. Fehmarn's newest attraction is also located here: the gigantic construction site of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel. In a few years, it will connect Fehmarn with the island of Lolland.
Holiday home owners can then also look forward to Scandinavian holiday guests. To the south-east lies the small village of Marienleuchte with its magnificent sea views and holiday homes right on the cliffs. Katharinenhof with its wildly romantic cliffs is located on the east coast. Along the old avenues you will find farms with lovingly furnished holiday flats.
Burg auf Fehmarn is the lively capital of the island with numerous shops, restaurants and cafés. A number of holiday property projects have been built here in recent years. The style ranges from classic clinker brick to the casual long island look. Fehmarn's tourist centre is located on the south beach in Burgtiefe.
In addition to the fine, white sandy beach, the new promenade with viewing tower and the marina also provide maritime holiday flair. The holiday flats and bungalows on the south beach regularly achieve top prices when they are sold.
Burgstaaken is the town's own harbour with fishing boats, a submarine museum and restaurants ranging from cappuccino to caipi. Countless terns breed on the Wulfen cliffs in summer and holidaymakers also love Wulfen - partly because of the Fehmarn golf course.
The holiday flats at the Fehmarn Golf Club promise an attractive, year-round rental yield. A number of exclusive new holiday properties have been built in Fehmarnsund in recent years. The unobstructed view of the Baltic Sea, the Fehmarnsund Bridge and direct access to the natural beach make Fehmarnsund a very good location on Fehmarn.
Petersdorf is the second largest town on Fehmarn after Burg and organises the popular rape blossom festival every year. Holiday flats are often offered for sale here. The small fishing village of Lemkenhafen is located on the Orther Reede roadstead, one of the most popular spots for kiters and surfers on Fehmarn.
Orth seems to consist almost entirely of yacht harbours and thus offers fantastic views when visiting the numerous popular restaurants directly in the harbour. New small holiday homes are often built and sold along the dyke in Orth.
The idyllic village of Bojendorf is located in the west of Fehmarn, right next to the Wallnau nature reserve, and the Baltic Sea is only a few hundred metres away. Holiday flats for sale here are mainly in one of the old farms or in existing detached houses.
Westermarkelsdorf is also located on the west coast of Fehmarn. Holiday properties here are mostly located in old farmhouses or in existing properties and are rarely offered for sale.
The many restaurants and farm cafés on Fehmarn are a great place to feast all day long. Of course, there is plenty of freshly caught Baltic Sea fish and delicious fish sandwiches, burgers with meat from Galloway cattle straight from the island, typical North German quark specialities, Fehmarn jam with rose petals and the typical "Kröpel" - sweet yeast dough balls that you should definitely try.
Fehmarn can be reached quickly and easily by car and by train. Good accessibility is particularly important to many holidaymakers. It takes just under two hours by car from Hamburg and a good 4.5 hours from Berlin. During the construction of the new Fehmarnbelt tunnel, there will be no trains between Lübeck and Fehmarn for around five years from 31 August 2022. Instead, there will be an hourly rail replacement service between Lübeck and the island railway stations of Burg auf Fehmarn and Puttgarden. Good accessibility is particularly important to many holidaymakers.
Holidays in your own country are in vogue and the Baltic Sea is one of the most popular holiday destinations of all. Fehmarn is the only island in the Baltic Sea in Schleswig-Holstein and offers plenty of variety for a wide range of holidaymaker target groups in every season. The unique natural surroundings and attractive major events such as the Fehmarn Surf Festival or the Midsummer Bulli Festival attract numerous holidaymakers. Ideal conditions for a good occupancy rate and rental yield for holiday flats and holiday homes on Fehmarn.
