Description Danke Schön: Wendtorf

Beaches might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Germany, but this modern apartment in the north of the country is sure to convince you of its coastal credentials.

Sitting in a building only constructed in 2021, guests are treated to lovely views of Marina Wendtorf and the boats bobbing about in the water, as well as the sea blending into the distant horizon. This scenery can be enjoyed out in the open air on the home's balcony or out through the large windows while cosied up inside.

You'll be able to tell that the apartment is new as soon as you step through the front door. There's a monochrome theme throughout, with white walls and kitchen surfaces only broken up by black furnishings and a grey floor — the overall effect is strikingly modern.

When you're looking for ways to fill an afternoon, the nearest beaches can be reached in around a quarter of an hour on foot and Bottsand Nature Reserve is half an hour's walk. The port city of Kiel and its collection of museums take a similar amount of time in the car, too.
