The path along the cliffs near Pelzerhaken has been closed since October 2023 due to safety concerns. The closure affects the section above the cliffs between Neustadt and Pelzerhaken, which was once a popular hiking trail. It is unclear when the path will reopen, as it is being redesigned and property owners are demanding better protection for the cliffs.

Hiking

The cliffs near Pelzerhaken offer a picturesque backdrop for hiking and a glimpse into the natural landscape of the Bay of Lübeck, which stretches from Neustadt in Holstein to Pelzerhaken. Please note that the popular shoreline hiking trail along the cliff remains closed for the 2025 season for safety reasons. Alternatively, you can hike along the beach path or explore the area from the "Seeblick" campsite to the Saalbeeck lake.
