Kugelbake

The Kugelbake is Cuxhaven’s best-known landmark, marking the point where the River Elbe meets the North Sea. This wooden sea marker, rebuilt in its historic form, once guided ships safely toward the harbor and remains a symbol of the city’s maritime heritage. Set on the waterfront, it also offers open views of passing vessels, tidal flats, and the nearby beaches. Visitors interested in coastal history, photography, or a short scenic walk will find it a worthwhile stop.
