Noer lies on Eckernförde Bay and is a rural community suited to walks and bike rides. It includes a sandy beach and Noer Castle, a distinctive local landmark. Other highlights are a marked Dörpstour and traces of history ranging from a Stone Age long barrow to the castle’s past. This means you can plan your stay around different interests: coastal scenery, exploring marked stops on foot or by bike, and history at specific locations.
Coast, cliffs and a protected dune
Noer has a sandy beach on the coast of Eckernförde Bay. Noer’s active and inactive Baltic Sea cliffs are classified as geotopes, adding a geological dimension to the beach landscape. Another natural feature is the Bewaldete Düne bei Noer nature reserve: it covers about 47 hectares and provides a refuge for characteristic plant and animal species. The area is one of the local sights, but visitors are not allowed to enter it. Although Noer is generally considered suitable for walks and bike rides, that does not remove this restriction in the nature reserve. Keep this in mind when planning your route.
A marked loop on foot or by bike
The Dörpstour provides a marked route for exploring the town. Its stops can be visited on foot or by bike. The tour can start in Noer at Hof Jensen and is about 4.5 kilometers long. It is a specific option if you are looking not only for a way to get around, but also for marked stops and an approximate route length for your exploration.
Castle history and Eiskellerberg
Noer Castle is a historic castle on Eckernförde Bay and a distinctive local landmark. The mausoleum at the castle is the final resting place of a countess and a count. Eiskellerberg offers a glimpse into another period: it is a Neolithic long barrow, built around 2000 BC. Later, it served as an ice cellar for Noer Castle; in the 20th century, the children of the noble family used the hill for sledding. Eiskellerberg thus links its Stone Age origins with later practical and recreational uses.
Geology and agricultural learning activities
At the grounds of Noer Castle, Geotanium offers geology programs on amber, dinosaurs, fossils and the Ice Age. Lindhof’s agricultural learning activities have a different focus and are aimed at schoolchildren, kindergarten children and other interested visitors. The topics differ considerably: Geotanium focuses on the history of the Earth, while Lindhof focuses on agriculture. If you would like to include a learning activity in your stay, you can choose according to the topic you are interested in.
Regional products
In Noer, the self-service farm shop Kartoffelkiste sells potatoes, locally produced eggs and regional honey. Product availability may change. If you have a particular product in mind, check the current selection in advance.
