💡 Tips

  • The weather by the Baltic can change rapidly; dressing in layers and keeping a windbreaker handy is highly recommended.
  • Rent a bicycle to explore the beautiful surrounding Schlei nature park, as cycling paths here are excellent and flat.
  • Book your restaurant tables and accommodations well in advance if visiting during the peak summer holidays.
  • There are distinct beaches for dogs and for nudists (FKK) nearby; check the signs before you settle down on the sand.
  • Keep some cash with you, as some smaller beach kiosks or local farm stands might not accept cards.
