The salt huts are closed in January and won't reopen until February, a walk on the beach makes up for it, lots of fresh air and usually a good view!😉👍

A real highlight to rest and for a longer break. Rainproof and the bike can also be stored.

Here it smells of sea and wood, of smoke and fish. If you are looking for original maritime island history and the flair of the fishing milieu with the enticing scent of fresh fish, you have come to the right place in the "Koserower Salzhütte". The monument-protected ensemble offers the visitor a cozy and natural ambience in which he can enjoy freshly smoked fish every day on beech wood, as well as all other local types of fish, whether fried or boiled. Our fisherman takes care of freshly caught fish from the Baltic Sea. The restaurant offers 30 indoor seats and a spacious terrace, which invites you to linger in summer. Source: Koserower Salzhütte
