Coastal lagoon landscape near Schmoel

Highlight • Lake

There used to be pastures here. In 1990 the dike was removed over a kilometer, so that the Baltic Sea created a beach lake. Many species of birds breed here!

Today we got a good dose of fresh air at Schönberger Strand. To give us a little extra motivation, a fish stall was already open, so we stopped briefly for a fish sandwich – really delicious 😋. The offshore wind today gave us quite a good blast, but the sun and blue sky more than made up for it.

This hike isn't a circular route, but at the turnaround point, you can enjoy wonderfully hearty fish dishes with a view of the sea. This alone makes the hike worthwhile. A refreshing swim in the Baltic Sea and plenty of nature are other highlights.

Where do you go after a stormy and rainy night? Into the forest?... rather not... to the Schwentine?....flooded. The beach is almost always an option... especially when the north German weather is wonderful 😀⛱️🪁🛳️🌧️🌤️
