NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The naval memorial with its height of 72 m is a landmark visible from afar. The harbor lies approx. 0.8 nm to the south. The mill and apartment building serve as landmarks here, but you can only approach them once you have passed Labo beach with the red buoy 6 (Fl.R) in the north or Madsensand with the red buoy 8 (Oc(2)R) in the south. At night, approach the harbor light from the fairway in the white sector.

Attention:
While the ferry is at the pier, entry/exit is prohibited for safety reasons (screw water).

Berths

Free berths are displayed via the Boatpark app and/or allocated by telephone. There are no more green/red signs.

Surroundings

In the small seaside resort there are all possibilities of supply.

In the shipyard Laboe you will find the complete service offer for yachts; from boat building, mechanical engineering to yacht mooring.

Laboe became known as a seaside resort over 100 years ago. It is said that it was mainly wealthy citizens from Kiel who came to the tranquil town of Laboe to take a break from city life. The first holidaymakers were certainly not aware of the tourist hype that now dominates the town on the Kiel Fjord during the summer months. At that time, the landmark that attracts thousands of visitors every year did not yet exist either: the 72-metre-high naval memorial was only inaugurated in 1936. A huge plaque inside the tower, whose shape is reminiscent of a ship's prow, clearly shows the large number of naval soldiers who died at sea during the two world wars. Completed during the National Socialist era, the building is now a memorial to those of all nations who remained at sea and is therefore not just a memorial to the German dead.

The memorial is well worth a visit, the name plaques of the fallen submariners are impressive and the top platform of the memorial is also an excellent vantage point. From a height of 85 m above the water, you can see the Kiel Fjord, the Probstei region, considered the breadbasket of Schleswig-Holstein, and the Baltic Sea all the way to the Danish islands. Conversely, the memorial is an outstanding landmark for seafaring. The submarine from the Second World War on the beach directly in front of the memorial is considered a "technical museum" and has proven to be a magnet for visitors in recent years.

The port of Laboe has remained a lifeline for the town to this day. Fördeschiffe dock in the commercial port every hour, the pilot boats operate from here and the rescue cruiser "Berlin" and the rescue boat "Bottsand" carry out their missions from Laboe harbor. During Kiel Week, Laboe used to be a regular home port for the Folkeboot sailors. Although they still sail on the "Foxtrot" course off Wendtorf, they have to travel there from Schilksee like the other boat classes. However, the "Trudelmauspokal" is still sailed from Laboe on the second weekend in June.

Even the heraldic animal of the Baltic seaside resort has something to do with water. It is a swan. A historical parallel to the heraldic animal is easy to draw. Laboe is said to have been a Slavic fishing village with the name "Lubodne" or "Lyboden" before the 13th century, before it was refounded around 1226 as a possession of the Preetz monastery. The translation of these names is "swan village".

The village was destroyed around 1640 when the Danes and Swedes fought a battle here. Like everywhere else, it was the construction of the harbor that brought better times. It was built in 1850 with the support of the church and quickly became just as important for the transportation of agricultural goods as it was as a fishing port.

The people of Labo owe their marina to the 1972 Sailing Olympics. A reading hall was built on the spa beach. The indoor seawater pool on the beach offers mineral-rich seawater pumped from the fjord at a depth of ten meters. The former customs office is now home to the harbour master's office. Ships of all sizes and nationalities pass close to the spa beach, using the Kiel Canal.

The spa administration invites you to take a "discovery tour" along the beach promenade and provides information about how grandparents used to go on vacation, among other things. The old farming village (Oberdorf) is also part of the discovery tour. The windmill, which can be seen from afar, belongs to a retirement home but can be hired for special occasions. You can take a look at the underwater world of the Baltic Sea at the marine biology station, which is located east of the memorial in the dunes on the beach. Excursions to Kiel, Holtenau, Strande, Schilksee and the other fjord towns can be made on the fjord boats.

Super freundlicher Hafenmeister der auch super hilfsbereit ist. Duschen ohne Marken ist auch selten und deshalb ein Plus hier. Ansonsten recht kostspielig.

Die Sanitäranlagen sind gut. Strom und Wasser sind im Liegegeld enthalten. Die Preise wurden in 2023 lt. Hafenmeister um 70% erhöht. Für mein 10m Boot (2 Pers.) waren 35€ fällig. Die Serviceleistungen wurden nicht erhöht. Brötchen im Hafen gibt es nur noch Fr., Sa.und So. Einen fußläufigen Supermarkt gibt es nicht.

Sanitäranlagen sehr gut, Strom und Wasser frei zugänglich. Preis-Leistung allerdings grenzwertig: Länge x Breite mal 0,85€ (aufgerundet auf volle Meter) zzgl. Kurabgabe 2,50€ pro Person und Tag. Eine Bezahlung konnte nur zwischen 18:00-18:30 Uhr erfolgen was die Kurabgabe ad absurdum führt.

Überraschende Preispolitik für Gastlieger in 2023. Unbedingt vorher Informieren, das wird sehr schnell sehr teuer. 40-50 € pro Nacht bei einem 10/11m Schiff ist man schnell los. Da ist ja auch noch Kurabgabe je Person zusätzlich fällig.

Schöner Hafen! Super Infrastruktur an den Liegeplätzen, Strom und Wasser ist überall vorhanden. Sanitäre Anlagen sind sauber, die Lüftung über den Duschen könnte ein leistungsstärkeres Upgrade erfahren.

Viele Dauerlieger, daher wenig Platz für Gäste. Der Steg A ist recht anfällig für Schwell insbesondere von der Fördeschiffahrt. Ansonsten aber ein sehr gepflegter Hafen mit guten Versorgungsmöglichkeiten. Vermutlich damit die Sanitäranlagen so super sauber sind, braucht es aber recht lange Reinigungszeiten. Da ist Mittags zwischen 12:40 und 15:00 nichts mit Duschen oder dem Toilettengang.

Sehr eigenartiger Hafen, in denen Unter anderem alle Stromanschlüsse abgeschlossen sind. Strom ist auch sehr teuer und vor allem wohl sehr selten-deshalb wurde wohl diese drastische Maßnahme vollzogen. Schade, denn wenn man aus Dänemark zurück kommt ist dies schon ein krasser Rückfall in die deutsche Mentalität.
