We leave the beach at the level of the disaster road, a paved cycle and footpath.
I cannot exactly determine the origin of the dangerous-sounding name, but the catastrophic circumstance that "in 1717 the island (suffered) in the great storm tide (suffered) a great breakthrough in the middle, which became larger and larger over time," suggests that this event gave its name.
(nordsee-insel.de/info/nordseeinsel-2/langeoog/history-culture/)
The "Großer Schlopp" and the Schloppsee also seem to be remnants of this catastrophe
(Grote Sloop; Sloop refers to a line-like dune breakthrough), but the lake was only created in 1971 by sand extraction for coastal protection. (wiki)

You can't walk past the lake directly as it is in a protected area. You can catch a glimpse of it from the path.
