A wide path has been created for cyclists. This relieves traffic by bike a little... It doesn't seem to have been passable for a long time yet

Great spot right on the Selenter See. When it's windy, the waves roll right up to the wooden deck – almost a bit of Baltic Sea feeling in the middle of the country.

Fast section of the route, the cars are disturbing.

The fishermen's huts at Schönberger Strand are among the highlights of our Baltic Sea coast. The freshly landed fish are fried in large iron pans right before the guests' eyes and sold with beer. Fresh fish and other smoked specialties for those who prefer to cook for themselves can also be purchased directly on the beach. With a magnificent view of the Baltic Sea, you can sit right on the dike and enjoy the scenery while you eat.

Whether around the inland lake or just as a way into the city, we always enjoy taking this route.

The Great Inland Lake is separated from the Baltic Sea by a narrow strip of land, and was once part of it. Today, the lake, which is up to 3 meters deep, is a freshwater lake fed by smaller tributaries such as the Kossau. Its shores are untouched, making it unsuitable for swimming or motorboating, but a paradise for nature lovers, walkers, and ornithologists.

Port Closure The port's approach buoy was removed by the authorities without replacement, permanently ending sea access. The decision to close came as a surprise to many, especially since the port had previously been classified as an emergency port and the state of Schleswig-Holstein had covered the costs of the necessary dredging. There are currently no plans to reopen or renovate the port. The owner has not yet commented on future uses of the site. For water sports enthusiasts who have previously used the Lippe harbor, the Wendtorf Marina offers an alternative location.
