Stadtführung "Matjesgang"

• City Walks

For many years herring loggers sailed out to sea from Glückstadt. On this tour you will find out what life was like for fishermen on land and exciting Döntjes. It is Glückstadt's specialty: the matjes made according to the original recipe. The herring loggers once sailed from Glückstadt harbor to catch fish in the North Sea. Freshly caught at sea, butchered and salted, the delicate fish has developed over the decades into a popular and nationally known quality product with its own twist. Experience the history of the logger herring fishery and the associated traditions of the small silverling with our expert city guides. Our entertaining herring course lets you immerse yourself in the past but not forgotten world of herring logging.
