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.

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.

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.
