Hotel Birke in Detail

Your Wellness Hotel

Discover new worlds of experience, enhanced quality of life, and a sense of security. A stay at Hotel Birke appeals to all senses. Nestled between city, countryside, and sea, a haven of tranquility unfolds where comfort meets quality, and true relaxation becomes tangible. Here, the essentials matter: time for oneself, for enjoyment, and for rejuvenation.
As a family-run hotel with a rich tradition, Birke combines North German lifestyle with contemporary comfort. A love for the region influences every detail, from architecture to cuisine, from the materials used to the considerate interaction with people and nature. Natural, regional, and eco-friendly products are at the forefront, highlighting the hotel's commitment to sustainability.
Whether it's culinary delights, wellness, culture, or active experiences: this is a space for mindful breaks that resonate long after.

Location & Surroundings

Located near the edge of the forest yet conveniently close to the city, Hotel Birke uniquely combines tranquillity, nature, and urban lifestyle. Nestled in greenery, it offers a soothing retreat, while the maritime charm of Kiel's city centre, with its cultural offerings and vibrant shopping streets, is just about 3 miles away. Whether it's a relaxed city stroll, a visit to the fjord, or a café by the water, here you can effortlessly blend the best of urban and natural worlds.
Just a few minutes' drive opens up more facets of the region: In about 15 minutes, you can reach idyllic Baltic Sea resorts with fine sandy beaches, fresh sea breezes, and impressive cliffs. Walks along the coast, relaxed hours on the beach, or active experiences with wind and waves make the proximity to the sea a special highlight, ideal for everyone who loves nature, activity, and expansiveness.

Dining & Leisure

At the "Fischers Fritz" restaurant in Hotel Birke, North German culinary culture meets modern gastronomy. Here, the taste of the region takes centre stage: honest, artisanal, and lovingly detailed. Freshly caught fish, selected meats from local sources, and seasonal vegetables form the foundation of a cuisine that consistently embraces quality, sustainability, and regionalism.
At "Fischers Fritz", there is a deliberate avoidance of convenience products; instead, all dishes are crafted by hand in the kitchen.
As a member of the FEINHEIMISCH network - Delight from Schleswig-Holstein, the restaurant champions a cuisine that preserves and evolves regional culinary culture. At least 60% of the products used are sourced from Schleswig-Holstein.
Guests with special dietary needs will find plenty to enjoy here: A creative selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes demonstrates how varied, healthy, and delightful plant-based cuisine can be, truly a feast for all senses.
A special highlight is the fireplace bar: When the fire crackles, it invites you to indulgent moments with fine tea specialties, champagne, long drinks, or selected wines. For a light snack, there are snacks and typical Holstein specialties available, all made from fresh, regional ingredients. On warm days, enjoy food and drinks on the terrace, preferably in a North German beach chair, accompanied by fresh air and a relaxed atmosphere.
Tastefully designed and with a view of the swimming pool, the Spa Bistro is the perfect spot for a delightful break between treatments and sauna sessions. Look forward to fresh smoothies, revitalizing teas, and light, balanced dishes. Large windows allow plenty of daylight in and provide direct access to the wellness garden. In fine weather, enjoy the vital cuisine relaxed in a beach chair or on your cosy lounger, all in the spirit of lightness, enjoyment, and relaxation.

Wellness & Spa

At Birke Spa, it's all about holistic well-being. In a world full of movement and change, this place creates deliberate pauses where body, mind, and soul can realign. Premium treatments, developed by experienced beauticians, masseurs, and wellness trainers, ensure deep relaxation and renewed energy.
Natural and ecological products from sea and land bring the essence of the north to life through all senses. The pleasantly warm swimming pool (29°C) invites you to be active or gently drift, while cosy relaxation areas with teak loungers, soft cushions, and wool blankets encourage letting go.
The diverse sauna area caters to every need with the perfect warmth experience: from the classic Finnish sauna to gentle vital sauna and tepidarium, to the soothing infrared and brine steam sauna. Guided sauna ceremonies, Kneipp treatments, and a spacious outdoor area support regeneration and vitality.
A special highlight is the wellness garden designed according to Feng Shui principles: beach chairs on sand islands, softly trickling water, aromatic herbs, and a barefoot path create an atmosphere of calm, grounding, and mindfulness.
The offer is rounded off by the light-filled Spa Bistro, which invites you to linger with its relaxed atmosphere and light moments of indulgence.

Golf

The region around Kiel shines as one of the most attractive golf destinations in Northern Germany. Gentle rolling hills, views of the Baltic Sea and Schlei, along with diverse natural backdrops, create the perfect stage for challenging yet enjoyable rounds of golf. Numerous prestigious golf courses, each with its own character and varying levels of difficulty, are located within a short driving distance and offer variety for players of all handicap levels. Thanks to excellent accessibility, typically between 15 and 40 minutes, various courses can be flexibly combined to ensure a diverse golfing experience.

Free Time

The region around Kiel offers ideal conditions for active exploration in the fresh Baltic Sea air. Whether on a touring bike or e-bike - diverse landscapes, expansive views, and well-maintained paths invite you to enjoy delightful cycling tours. Cycle along the coast, through green forests, past inland lakes, the Kiel Canal, or through typical North German cultural landscapes. High-quality rental bikes and e-bikes from brands like Cortina and Coboc from the Kiel specialist shop Velostyle are available. An e-bike battery charging station is located in the bike garage. For those who prefer walking, there are also attractive hiking trails in and around Kiel.
About 17 kilometres of beaches along the Kiel Fjord invite you to swim, relax, and engage in various water sports. Sailing, surfing, stand-up paddling, or kite surfing can be learned at many beaches.
The historic fishing village of Laboe, with its shallow entry into the water, is particularly beginner-friendly. Surf and kite schools here quickly prepare you for your first glide over the Baltic Sea waves. Quiet waterways can also be explored on canoe trips, in rowing boats, or on rafts through inland lakes, small rivers, and canals.
