💡 Tips

  • Enjoy the sunset at Haffplatz, where you have a wide view over the calm Salzhaff lagoon.
  • Hike along the cliff coast towards Meschendorf for spectacular views of the open Baltic Sea.
  • Visit the Salzhaff for water sports like stand-up paddling, as the water here is much calmer and warmer than in the sea.
  • The pier (Seebrücke) is the central meeting point and has the freshest sea breeze.
  • Use the free parking at the entrance of the town and explore the compact center on foot.
