Car Hire Wilhelmshaven - Mini guide to Wilhelmshaven

Wilhelmshaven is a town in Lower Saxony, Germany, and is located on the western coast of the Jadebusen, a bay of the North Sea. The largest navy base on the North Sea, Wilhelmshaven is not only used by the German navy, but is also an excellent attraction for tourists to enjoy. So hire a car to make sure you can visit all of Wilhelmshaven’s attractions.

The Wattenmeerhaus National Park Centre is a treat for the family, with educational tours around the underwater museum and extensive views of the sea floor and all its abundant marine life. You can watch the fish swimming past, take a look through the in-house scientist’s microscopes to see marine life in greater detail, and even listen to an oystercatcher’s heartbeat!

For those interested in maritime history, the Naval Museum in Wilhemshaven is located in a former Scheibenhot workshop (the building itself is of historical interest) near to the connecting harbour and close to the Kaiser-Wilhelm bridge. The museum houses a German destroyer ship and minesweeper as well as a submarine (the U10) and is perhaps the oldest surviving building of its kind in the region. Add to this a collection of warships and a comprehensive exhibition on 19th Century German naval history, and you have a ‘must visit’ attraction open all year round.

Continuing the nautical theme, ‘The Weekend on the River Jade’ is an action-filled four-day festival that takes place in the summer and captures the heart of this beautiful city in entertainment, culture and events. The festival includes fun both on land and on the water and has a range of music and activities for all to enjoy.
