The small city of Eckernf?�rde on the Baltic Sea has long been a popular holiday destination among residents of northern Germany. Today, Eckernf?�rde has also started to receive many visitors from other parts of the world thanks to its beautiful beaches, relaxed atmosphere, and the ease with which visitors can find car hire in Eckernf?�rde.

The six kilometres of fine white sandy beach along Eckernf?�rde Bay is the city's main tourist attraction.
