Herring loggers sailed out to sea from Glückstadt for many years. On this tour you will learn how the life of the fishermen played out on land and exciting döntjes. It's Glückstadt's speciality: Matjes made according to the original recipe. Herring loggers used to set out from Glückstadt harbor to catch fish in the North Sea. Slaughtered and salted freshly caught at sea, the tender fish has developed over the decades into a popular and nationally known quality product with its own special touch. Experience the history of logger herring fishing and the associated traditions of the small silverfish with our expert city guides. Our entertaining matjes course lets you immerse yourself in the past but not forgotten world of herring logging.
