Tönning Harbour & Packhaus

Hafen Tönning mit Packhaus

A small harbour town at the mouth of the Eider, where an 18th-century warehouse and colourful boathouses surround the old harbour, and a location for German TV series.

Tönning was once an important trading port during the era when the Eider Canal was navigable. The Packhaus, or old warehouse, by the harbour was built in 1783. It is one of the largest neoclassical storage buildings on the North Sea coast and is now used for exhibitions and events. Around the harbour basin there are fishing boats, cafés and fish-bun shops, where you can try a bun filled with North Sea brown shrimp. The Church of St. Laurentius and the market square in the town centre are also worth a visit, and you can combine them with a trip to the multimedia centre.
