Vacation Rentals in St. Peter-Ording

In St. Peter-Ording most holiday apartments are located directly on the North Sea beach. Most of the apartments on offer are perfectly equipped for self-catering and some have a shared use of the garden. A modern apartment on the outskirts of the city offers a view over salt marshes to the sea. And in the Bad district you live in maritime apartments right in the centre and enjoy short distances to wellness facilities and shops.

Families who take a vacation rental in the village district Dorf (South) spend a cosy North Sea holiday. Typical Frisian thatched houses spread original charm and offer space for parents, children and also for the dog. The south beach lies almost directly in front of the front door. You can also enjoy peace and nature in the Böhl district under the watchful eye of the 123-year-old lighthouse. Rustic wooden houses are just a few minutes' walk from the beach and extensive salt marshes. Often the beach chair is part of the holiday home.

If you want to live further out, you can spend your North Sea holiday in the wider surroundings of St. Peter-Ording on the Eiderstedt peninsula. Old farmhouses with thatched roofs, brick buildings and white houses with red roofs alternate here. Meadows and fields extend all around. After extensive excursions and a long bathing day at the North Sea, you can make yourself comfortable in the well-equipped holiday apartments and vacation rentals of the region.

St. Peter-Ording is a North Sea resort on the western tip of the Eiderstedt peninsula in the district of Nordfriesland and belongs to the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. The town, which has around 4000 inhabitants, attracts thousands of holidaymakers from home and abroad every year. St. Peter-Ording is not only known for the good North Sea air and the Wadden Sea, but also for its sulphur spring. Thanks to her, the village has the title "North Sea Healing and Sulphur Bath".

A holiday apartment in St. Peter-Ording is located in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. The beach is twelve kilometres long and up to two kilometres wide. On the beach there are dunes up to 16 meters high, partly greened. On the border between land and sea there are also the salt marshes with tough, persistent plants that are characteristic of the North Sea landscape. In the hinterland there are artificially created forests that offer shady paths for walks.

On the beach of St. Peter-Ording wooden pile dwellings rise out of the mud flats. They are the landmark of the North Sea resort and the entire North Sea region. The construction on piles is intended to protect the small buildings from flooding. There are restaurants in six pile houses, others serve as toilets or as a base for lifeguards.

Who walks on the beach of St. Peter-Ording often finds golden shimmering amber. Since 2001, the Boy Jöns Amber Museum has been showing how amber is created and what diverse forms it forms. In the Inklusenkabinett visitors can admire amber with over 50 million years old insect inclusions. The museum's own amber grinding shop produces jewellery from this precious material.

Since 1973, the Eider barrier has been protecting St. Peter-Ording from storm tides. It is located at the North Sea estuary of the river Eider and has several gates. If the sea water level rises, the gates are closed so that not too much sea water is forced into the river. Germany's largest coastal protection structure can be explored on guided tours.

About 20 kilometres before St. Peter-Ording at the Eidermündung lies the small village of Tönning. A popular excursion destination is the historic port of Tönning, which many visitors consider to be the most beautiful port on the west coast. The buildings in the harbour can look back on more than 100 years of history. Even older are the Schifferhaus and the Holzschiffswerft in the southwest of the city.

In St. Peter-Ording, of course, fresh fish is on the menu. A trip to the beach bar 54° Nord in Ording offers a change from the self-catering in the holiday apartment. The beach bar is open depending on the weather and serves fresh, seasonal cuisine. Besides fish dishes there is steak, veal and lamb.
