Cuxland

Cuxland, in a tourist sense, is the land between the River Weser and the mouth of the Elbe in the district of Cuxhaven on Germany's North Sea coast.

The term Cuxland is an artificial word that has purely been coined for tourist purposes and has no historic significance.

The central attractions of Cuxland are Sahlenburg, Duhnen und Döse, which have a well developed tourist infrastructure with restaurants and hotels to cater for various tastes, holiday apartments, an open air pool, leisure facilities and shops.

The majority of the holidaymakers come from the German states of Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen and Hamburg.

The coastal villages in the collective municipality of Land Wursten and in the borough of Otterndorf are especially popular with families.
