바르스벡 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Here on Dackelweg, behind the dike, is a small holiday home settlement dating back to the 1950s. So there's always plenty to see.

A beautiful singletrack trail leads across the Fernau stream through the salt marshes of the Probstei region, which were once regularly flooded by the Baltic Sea. Unlike many other paths here, it is made of gravel and designed as a singletrack, not concrete slabs. The trail crosses drainage ditches several times, and on one side, old willows form a semi-avenue-like line – ideal for a nature walk or a short bike ride.

beautiful route through nature, you can hardly see anything of the lake anymore due to the increasing silting up, as it is becoming more and more overgrown

At this point you cross the Sandbrücksau (Komoot calls this ‘Lindholmsau’) and reach the former Baltic Sea dike, which today lies inland, more precisely near the salt marshes.

Lake Barsbek and its surroundings were declared a nature reserve in 1982. The aim is to preserve "geologically significant features of a shallow, coastal brackish lake with extensive reed beds, species-rich brackish tall herbaceous marshes, and salt marsh areas, as well as a diverse fauna." The dike separates the lake and its surroundings from the influence of the Baltic Sea. This has led to dramatic changes in the site's characteristics. Without regular saltwater flooding, the soils and the lake have become salty, and the typical salt marsh plants have disappeared. Drainage also causes the mineralized soil to subside, thus causing the terrain to sink. Source: Information panel.

Even more natural is the Bottsand nudist beach, just a few hundred meters away, between the bird sanctuary and the Heidkate. Cycling enthusiasts will find a tour description for the ride from Schönberger Strand to Laboe on the "Baltic Sea Coast Cycling Tour" page. The area around Marina Wendtorf is part of the tour and is described there. In Wendtorf, we offer the following vacation apartments:

In addition to the Holm in Schönberg, five apartment buildings for holiday guests were also built in the municipality of Wendtorf. A marina was also built there on the Kiel Outer Fjord, which today serves as a marina between the Bottsand nature reserve and the coast, providing moorings for around 850 sailboats and motorboats. The area around the marina is still primarily used to accommodate holiday guests. The new holiday park, with its modern apartments and houses, has been attracting even more visitors since 2016. The new construction has also ushered in a wave of modernization in many areas, something that holidaymakers can look forward to. Those who rent accommodation on the upper floors with a sea view here not only enjoy the view of the Baltic Sea. The ships sailing in and out of the fjord are exciting to watch.

We're the Heidkate Surf School, and we offer a wide range of activities in, around, and on the water!
