Beautifully situated on the Medem River in the center of Otterndorf. Beautiful houses are located directly on the Medem, as is Uncle Heinz's boat.

There are two separate jetties where guest berths are available (except for the places marked in red). The harbor does not dry out and is also accessible for larger boats. The boats sink in the soft mud at low tide and even remain afloat in front of the sluice at the southern facility.
