Imagine falling asleep to the gentle sound of the waves and being greeted in the morning by the sun rising over the Baltic Sea. This is no ordinary holiday experience, but a special experience that few people have had the chance to enjoy: Spending the night right on the beach. Normally it is forbidden to spend the night on the beach, but in Eckernförde there has been a special exception since 1 June 2024. Two charming shepherd's caravans on the south beach of the Baltic seaside resort invite you to experience nature up close and enjoy the tranquillity of the beach to the full.
Historic charm meets modern simplicity
The two shepherd's carts on Eckernförde's south beach, ‘Badenixe’ and ‘Meerblick’, were handmade by the shepherd's cart manufacturer in Oersberg and are a real eye-catcher. The wooden body, the large wagon wheels and their classic, nostalgic shape are reminiscent of historic bathing carts that were used as changing rooms on the beach in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Here, modernity meets historical charm, because with a floor area of 2.6 metres, a standing height of approx. 2.15 metres, a bed, table and two chairs, they offer simple but modern accommodation.
The rustic charm of these small huts transports you back in time, while the large panoramic window offers a breathtaking view of the sea.
A retreat in the middle of nature
There's nothing quite like letting your gaze wander over the quiet beach with the door open while the last rays of the day's sun bathe the sky in pastel colours. The shepherd's huts are perfect for anyone looking for a break from everyday life and who loves nature. When the beach slowly empties in the evening and the day guests go home, a soothing calm returns, interrupted only by the sound of the sea. This unique experience is particularly suitable for families who want to bring their children closer to nature, but also for couples and adults who long for a romantic or meditative retreat.
The two shepherd's caravans are in close proximity to each other, so that they offer practical overnight accommodation for up to four people at the same time.
A night on the beach - an unforgettable experience
An overnight stay in these shepherd's caravans on the beach at Eckernförde is more than just accommodation. It's a little adventure, a journey back in time and a special way to experience the beauty of the Baltic Sea. Being allowed to spend the night here directly on the beach is a dream come true that would not normally be possible. The price for an overnight stay is around 150 euros per night.
Whether as a special surprise for the family, a romantic break for couples or simply as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life - a night in these shepherd's caravans will be remembered for a long time to come.
