Dog walking trails

Note on the surroundings and the city area: Suitable hiking trails for dog-walkers are located in the area of the Cuxhavener Küstenheide and in the Wernerwald. Dogs must be kept on a leash!

Dog toilet

It goes without saying that the dog's waste must be removed and disposed of by the dog handler!
The Nordseeheilbad Cuxhaven GmbH provides 38 dog toilet stations with bags and waste containers from Altenbruch to Sahlenburg for this purpose. These bags are exclusively intended for removing the dog's waste.
