Wellness and culinary pleasure in the far north...

 

A nature-oriented, peaceful location on the outskirts of a forest and only a five minutes’ drive to the city centre. The Birke family’s wellness hotel is able to excel with this great combination. It is located in the outskirts of the City of Kiel and surrounded by thatched roof houses that are typical for the region. The close proximity to the sea can be felt not only through the design of the hotel or the fresh air but also in the spa area. Whether it is the algae extracts for facial treatment, sea salt for peelings or a massage with amber – the sea is everywhere in the Birke Hotel. Thus also in the hotel’s crest-shaped culinary highlight: The Fischers Fritz restaurant. As the only real fish restaurant, it is worth a visit when you are in the neighbourhood of Kiel. All the nicer if you are able to enjoy its cuisine every day during a wellness holiday. The more so as also the wellness area is second to none in the region.  


Environment

The Birke Wellness Hotel is conveniently located in a nature-oriented part of the city of Kiel. The regional capital of Schleswig-Holstein is also known to sailing fans due to its regatta “Kieler Woche” that has been taking place since the 19th century. Typical for Kiel is the “Kiel fjord” that was formed in the Ice Age, where the entry to the North-Baltic Sea channel can be found. The hilly landscape of the Holsteinische Schweiz begins right next to Kiel.


Incentives

Those who like the city are in the city centre of Kiel within only a few minutes by car or within an hour in Hamburg, 90 kilometres away. Kiel has one of the most important seaports in Germany. There is a lot there for fans of large boats and small sailing ships to marvel at. The activities at the sea in general: cycling, inline skating, kite surfing, high-sea fishing or out to sea with your own dinghy – the possibilities seem to be endless. Those arriving at the peak of summer should include the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival, one of the largest and most famous festivals for classical music.


Facilities

The Fischers Fritz restaurant serves regional and seasonal cuisine according to the principles of slow food. In the wellness and spa area of the Birke Hotel, the emphasis is on the beneficial and healing power of the sea. This means that in the beauty studio of the Kiel Bay, cultured algae is used for facial treatment as well as sea ooze or sea crystals.
