Aquarium GEOMAR is a facility that showcases marine life. A unique feature of Aquarium GEOMAR is the seals in the outdoor pool, where visitors can observe them up close, and there is also a feeding session that is a favorite among children.

German submarine U-995

German submarine U-995

3.6

There is a complete submarine U-995 built in 1943, which is of type VIIc, on the sea north of Kiel. It is famous for the filming of the blockbuster "From the Bottom of the Sea" and is now a museum. Visitors can enter the submarine to visit, but the interior space of the submarine is relatively small, and more tourists are attracted by the beach where the submarine is located.

漫步在德国基尔大学植物园（Botanischer Garten der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel），仿佛翻开了一本镌刻着生命密码的立体百科全书。这座始建于1985年、占地4.6公顷的植物园，坐落在波罗的海畔的基尔市郊，以科学研究的严谨为骨架，以自然之美为血肉，将北德特有的冷冽与温情糅合成一场唤醒感官的生态盛宴
