Cuxhaven erleben

That’s how a North Sea vacation works

Welcome to your vacation

Welcome to Cuxhaven-Döse, the popular spa resort of the North Sea spa town Cuxhaven. This is the North Sea coast as it is known: varied, with wind and weather, and the unique warmth of the North German character of its inhabitants.

Experience Cuxhaven and the North Sea

Here is our home. Here we know our way around.

Due to our central location, Gästehaus Janßen is the ideal starting point to experience Cuxhaven as well as its surroundings and the coast with all its facets.

In the following, we would like to give you some recommendations for your vacation. If you have any further questions or are looking for something special, just ask us. Cuxhaven is our home. Here we know our way around.

Whether on foot, by bike, or with the Wattwagen (mudflat wagon). In Cuxhaven, you can get around

  • On foot or by bike, you can explore the diversity of our landscape: from the vastness of the Wadden Sea, across the country lanes through forests and heath, to the fascinating change of the North Sea tides.
  • The Kugelbake is the landmark of Cuxhaven. There, directly on the world’s busiest shipping lane, you can watch the various ships as they pass by Cuxhaven.
  • A trip to the island of Neuwerk is a unique experience. You travel there in a very traditional way with the Wattwagen (mudflat wagon) across the tidal flats.
  • Those who prefer to walk, are fit, and don’t mind the weather can also reach the island of Neuwerk on foot depending on the tide. Or you can make it comfortable and simply take a ship.
  • The Kurpark, which includes a small zoo and a nice playground for children, is only a few hundred meters and a few minutes’ walk from our house.
  • You can also reach the beautiful and extensive Döse sandy beach in just a few minutes on foot.
  • Doctors, the post office, shopping facilities, many restaurants, and everything you need for a successful holiday can be found in the immediate vicinity thanks to our central location.
  • Of course, there is plenty on offer for the little guests in Cuxhaven – just ask us. There is always something new to discover.
