Kiel @ Ease

by coach & on foot

This experience is ideally suited to those wishing to see some of the highlights of Kiel, the capital of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and a traditional maritime city, predominantly from the comfort of a coach.

During your journey you will pass the famous Town Hall, the Kiel Fjord and the impressive Kiel Canal. The Kiel Canal is one of the world's busiest artificial waterways, connecting the North Sea with the Baltic stretching for almost 100km (62 mile) from Brunsbüttel to Kiel. Your coach will cross over the Kiel bridge and give you a view of the sluices which regulate this waterway.

Your journey will continue as you see the T-750 Flandernbunker, a flak-bunker that was used to protect 750 people and was one of 120 of its kind in Kiel during World War 2. This bunker was partially destroyed by Allied forces after the war to prevent its further use.

You will also glimpse the city’s world renowned university which was an integral part of Kiel’s maritime tradition, specialising in scientific marine research. It was here where the famous scientists, Max Planck and Heinrich Hertz led the way for a new generation of young scientists.
