Discover Fehmarn by hire car
The third largest German island belongs to Schleswig-Holstein and goes by the beautiful name of Fehmarn.
Until the German reunification in 1990, it was the largest island, but with the unification of Germany, the Baltic Sea island of Rügen ran away from it this rank.

Leisure activities in Fehmarn
The island of Fehmarn is a true seaside holiday paradise. So you can plunge into the cool water of the Baltic Sea from rocky cliff coasts, comfortably enjoy sunbathing in the dune landscape or have fun on the white sandy beaches of the island.
