The ‘Weserbrandung’ holiday home is located in the Blexen district of Nordenham, one of the oldest and most historic villages in the region.

The historic mound village of Blexen was built in the Middle Ages on an artificially raised mound to protect it from storm surges. The Romanesque church of St. Hippolyt, whose origins date back to the 12th century, is a reminder of this period and dominates the village with its striking tower.

Its location directly on the Weser estuary offers a unique view over the waterways and the port facilities of Bremerhaven, which is only a few minutes away on the other side of the river.

The popular North Sea resorts of Burhave and Tossens on the Butjadingen peninsula are also just a short distance away, best reached by car. There you can enjoy North Sea beaches, mudflat walks and relaxing strolls along the dykes.

The Weserbrandung holiday home combines the peaceful, historic atmosphere of a Frisian village with proximity to the town, beach and sea – a perfect starting point for a relaxing and varied holiday.
