View of the Grüner Brink Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Green Brink" on Fehmarn has been under nature protection since 1938. The area (134 ha) is on the north coast of Fehmarn, three kilometers west of the Puttgarden ferry station. Today it extends 2.5 km along the coast to the Niobe Monument and in width from the top of the dike up to 150 m into the Baltic Sea.

Puttgarten Coastal Promenade

Highlight • Trail

By beach I mean primarily a sandy beach. There is rather no one here. Stones and boulders dominate here.

Grüner Brink Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Beautiful terrain. Lagoons, dry grass, wet zones, small forests and dunes alternate. Birds everywhere. At first we understood the information boards in such a way that the entire area cannot be entered except in the winter months. But this is not the case. You can walk through the gates and on the fenced paths. The last stretch to the Niobe also directly on the beach, where there was a lot of surf for the Baltic Sea. In the west and east, the area is framed by kitesurfing paradises. You can park there and have a bite to eat.

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here we spent a whole hour just listening to the wind and the calls of the birds. It was an absolute experience.
And - sadly enough - even here there was rubbish left lying around.

The whole gang, today even with a "double gang", went on a great hike on Fehmarn. We were rewarded with great views of the Baltic Sea and the ferry traffic in Puttgarden. In the "Beltbude" we have refreshed ourselves deliciously. Wonderful tour with happy children and adults.
