Weissenhaus

Spend an evening at the Vogelnest, your private hideaway above the Baltic Sea. You’re greeted by the Bootshaus team and led to your secluded table overlooking the waves. As the sea air settles and the light fades, you sit down to an unhurried meal where everything around you feels simple and intentional. The sound of the tide replaces conversation when words fall short.

This isn’t just dinner — it’s time set aside for presence, shared glances and the comfort of being still together. When the sun finally dips below the horizon, you’ll realise the best part of the evening was simply being there.

Step inside the castle kitchen at Weissenhaus and spend a few hours cooking with chefs who love what they do. You’ll roll, bake, stir and season your way through recipes that bring out the joy of hands-on food. Try your hand at pasta making, knead dough for traditional bread or mix herbs and salt the way they’ve done here for generations.

Each course is practical, personal and surprisingly easy to take home with you. It’s not about perfection — it’s about slowing down, tasting as you go and leaving with a few skills that stay long after you’ve left the kitchen.

Pick a spot that feels like yours– perhaps the pier by the castle pond, a beach chair by the Baltic or the glasshouse near the rose and aroma garden. Unpack a picnic basket filled with fresh breads, cheeses, fruits and other culinary treats prepared by the Weissenhaus kitchen. Sip a drink of your choice, share bites and take in the views while enjoying uninterrupted time together.

Your hosts can offer tips for hidden corners or scenic spots to enhance the experience. It’s a simple yet special way to enjoy good food, fresh air and the outdoors in your own way.
