Hiking
Directly on the cliffs near Lindhöft, the NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) has cordoned off a narrow stretch of beach with flutter tape: the breeding ground of the ringed plover. It is an extremely well-camouflaged, relatively small wading bird. It can only be seen when it moves or when it draws attention with its whistle.
This small coastal bird is on the national early warning list – in Schleswig-Holstein, it is already considered endangered.

Hiking
The sign "Highly Endangered Bird Species" may be somewhat dramatically worded, but it's not without reason: Recreational pressure and habitat loss are taking their toll on the ringed plover.
Anyone passing by should keep their distance and be happy about this small patch of wilderness that still offers a place to retreat.
