    Nice overview of the Wiek.

      The viewing platform is nice, but you can see just as well from below!

        To sit upstairs with a great view, but it's also nice from below!

            a still quite new small "lookout tower", from which one can look great over the Pötenitzer Wieck on the side of the former GDR. Also nice to take a break.

              Great view of part of the Pötenitzer Wiek.
              Even a bench was built on top of the tower!

                From the hiking trail, a small cul-de-sac leads only a few meters to the shore of the Bodden, where there is a small viewing platform from which you can have a beautiful view of the lake landscape and the wildlife that lives on it.

                  A beautifully landscaped vantage point to the east with a view of the Pötenizer Wiek.
                  If you hike on the southern Priwallweg, you should use this short detour into a cul-de-sac for this view.

                    Nice and quiet platform for watching the seabirds. Take binoculars with you!

                      Travemünde. Herons, cranes, greylag geese, lapwings, and shelducks: Hundreds of water and wading birds are now once again populating the salt marshes and the Great Meadow Lagoon in the Southern Priwall Nature Reserve. And with the arrival of spring, the first nesting sites are being sought out. This is the perfect time to offer walkers and birdwatchers a unique perspective on the wildlife habitat. The Dummersdorfer Ufer Landscape Conservation Association, which manages the area, has now built a new observation platform for this purpose.

                        A dreamlike vantage point
                        It will enchant you with its unique natural surroundings, its stunning hiking trails, and its beautiful beach with its dune landscape. It is a very special place of untouched and unspoiled nature, nestled between the Trave estuary, the Baltic Sea, and the Pötenitzer Wiek (Pötenitzer Wiek). Rare species rest and breed in the bird sanctuary, and sea rye and sea buckthorn grow between the dunes and forest. Tip: The sun rises in the east - experience the sunrise early in the morning on the beach, far beyond the horizon!
