The popular holiday destination of Wackerballig lies in the outer firth of Gelting Bay, some 2 km from the town of Gelting and close to the Schlei. Over the last few years, a holiday village has developed here, full of high-quality Scandinavian-inspired holiday homes.
Enjoy long walks and relaxing time at the beach on the gradually sloping, shallow seabed of the Baltic Sea, build sand castles with your children, or lie back on a deck chair and enjoy a good book. You can also go walking or take a cycle tour along the nature trail in the nearby forest or in the local area.
The Nordschau path will take you to the Gelting Bay nature reserve on the headland. The area is a popular spot for hiking tours, either with or without a guide. Don't miss the historic Charlotte Mill, which is located nearby. In the area, you will also find bicycles and boats for hire, riding schools, the Acqua Tropicana water park in Damp and a golf course in Rabenkirchen.
Be sure to visit the nearby towns of Schleswig and Flensburg, which are perfect for a day trip. In Schleswig, you can visit the cathedral, while Flensburg boasts an interesting museum harbour and a car-free centre, perfect for taking a stroll and picking up some gifts.
Enjoy a boat trip to Glücksburg, where you can visit the castle and moat surrounded by a beautiful park with a rose garden and ancient trees - the perfect day out!

The joy of swimming and pure relaxation – Gelting Bay and Kappeln/Olpenitz lie between the Flensburg Firth, the Baltic Sea and the Schlei Baltic inlet. This region offers especially good recreational value. At the outermost tip of the land, there is a huge nature reserve. Along the coast, which provides lots of beautiful beaches for swimming, picturesque holiday resorts and beautiful woodlands, there are numerous cycling and hiking trails you can follow.
This region is perfect for all water sports enthusiasts! With the Baltic Sea and the Schlei nearby, you can choose from two different bodies of water offering different conditions. Windsurfers and kite surfers in particular love the options they have here. Sailing can be done on the Schlei. The area is also home to various surf and sailing schools.
DanCenter offers Scandinavian holiday homes suitable for up to 8 people only 50 m from the water on Gelting Bay. The beach is flat, meaning it therefore offers additional safety for small children. This location is particularly good for families. The holiday homes in Olpenitz are somewhat larger. These modern activity homes can accommodate up to 24 people! That means you can easily house multiple families, groups of friends or even a team. With a pool, sauna, whirlpool and other activities such as table tennis and a pool table, you won't get bored here.
We have a selection of holiday homes where your pet is welcome both at Gelting Bay and in Olpenitz. Your animal is part of the family and should therefore be part of your family holiday at the Baltic Sea. A holiday with a dog is no problem in our holiday homes and doesn't cost extra. What's more, it's easy to travel to the Baltic coast.
As well as holiday homes in the Gelting Bay/Olpenitz region, you can also spend your break at the Bay of Kiel or Lubeck Bay. Each region offers various holiday homes, different attractions and new locations. One thing they all have in common: a holiday by the Baltic Sea!
Shortly after having booked your holiday home through DanCenter, you will receive your booking confirmation by post. This confirmation is your voucher/rental agreement with all necessary information. On the first page you will find information about the addresses of the holiday home and the key collection place. In the middle of the page you will find the driving directions. At the bottom of the page there is a detachable card for ordering extras that may be useful during your holiday. On the following pages you will find the invoice concerning your booking as well as an in-payment form stating due date.
On arrival at the key collection place you must present your voucher, and you will receive your key for the holiday home and a utility sheet/envelope where to state the meter readings for the consumption related costs, such as electricity, water etc., at arrival as well as at departure.
Arrival can normally take place from 4 p.m. on the arrival day.
If you arrive in the late evening, our local offices will be closed. In such cases please call us in advance to make arrangements as to key collection and payment of deposit.
On the detachable card at bottom of the voucher/rental agreement you can order various extras offered by our local offices. In this way you can avoid packing your car with a lot of unhandy things. Please notice that local offices in Germany are only placed in areas with a high concentration of holiday homes. In all other areas the key will be handed over by the owner of the house or his substitute.
All holiday homes are equipped with the tableware and kitchen utensils necessary for the number of persons for which the house is meant. You can order bed linen, tea towels, table cloths etc. from the DanCenter local office – if there is one – if you do not want to bring all this yourself.
If you have small children and need a cot, high chair or the like, you can rent such items at the local office too. There is not necessarily room for a cot in the master bedroom. If a cot is listed in the description of the house, and you only need one cot, you do not need to mark it on the detachable card.
Please notice that not all local offices offer all kind of extras. We therefore always recommend you to send an e-mail to or to call the local DanCenter office before arrival. We cannot guarantee that all the extras you may need will be available, if they have not been ordered in advance.

If you have booked a holiday home in Germany, you may need to book a ferry. A good advice is to do this well in advance. For information about ferry connections, please click here.
During the holiday season you will often end up in a queue on the most popular motorways and roads.
All local governments in Germany collect a local tourist tax from holiday home owners, among others. This tax is calculated per guest per day and must be paid on site before departure. The amount varies from area to area.
We charge customers a small cleaning audit fee to prepare the room for the next guest, even as some outgoing guests prefer to clean the room themselves. Are such guests still required to pay a cleaning charge? Yes. Please let us explain.
While we appreciate guests cleaning the room themselves, we nonetheless conduct an audit to ensure that the room is in excellent shape. The cleaning audit fee we levy is for the time and effort involved in checking that our cleaning standards have been met, so that we can provide our customers with the best experience.
