Altes Fährhaus Fahrdorf

Altes Fährhaus Fahrdorf looks across the Schlei toward Schleswig, placing the water and the town's skyline at the center of the dining experience. The building has served as an inn since 1692 and was carefully renovated in 2013. Today the Hempfing family runs it as a restaurant with a regional kitchen, a sunny terrace and its own landing stage. Its cooking combines seasonal northern German classics with touches of Swabian food, reflecting the family's earlier years near Lake Constance. Chef Sven Hempfing trained in Berlin and later qualified in dietetic cooking before becoming a master chef. Tanja Hempfing, a trained hotel professional, oversees service and the running of the dining room. The menu gives a concrete picture of those northern and southern influences. Maultaschen come with bacon, onions and potato salad, while Swabian onion roast beef is accompanied by homemade spaetzle. Fish supplied by the Ross fishing family includes pike, perch and herring from the Schlei and Baltic Sea, with the selection depending on the catch. Vegetarian choices include cheese spaetzle, spelt and cheese patties, and pasta with pumpkin and ginger ragout. The waterfront setting also shapes how guests arrive: the inn can be reached from the B76 through the village, or by motorboat using its landing stage. Boat visitors should check the shallow water depth before approaching. The terrace adds an outdoor option, although service there depends on staffing and is not always available. Contact the family directly to discuss a visit.
