Nestled on the eastern shore of the picturesque Mariager Fjord, Wasserwanderrastplatz Kösters Eck offers a tranquil escape for nature lovers and water enthusiasts.

The site provides easy access to kayaking, paddleboarding, and light sailing on the calm fjord waters, with nearby nature trails connecting to the larger “Wasserwanderweg” network.
