Nestled on the southern tip of the Baltic Sea island of Hiddensee, Hafen Neuendorf is a picturesque harbor that has been a cornerstone of local life for centuries. This historic marina, serving the village of Neuendorf, dates back to the early 13th century with its older part, Plogshagen, and was formally laid out in 1700. The harbor has long supported local fishing, modest tourism, and a seasonal boat-rental service that offers short cruises around the island, bird-watching trips to the nearby Gellen nature reserve, and access to the historic lighthouse at Dornbusch.
