About Fehmarn

Fehmarn is a Baltic island offering multiple dedicated kitespots suited to various wind directions, making it versatile for different conditions. The island features both flat-water and wave zones, accommodating all skill levels. Reliable thermal wind patterns occur weekly throughout spring and summer. Campsites and accommodation options are readily available. The island setting provides scenic sailing and coastal views. Access is straightforward via Hamburg airport followed by a two-hour train, bus, or car journey. Cold water requires full wetsuits. Expect moderate to high crowds, especially during peak season.
