The promenade, almost seven meters wide, leads you to the pier, which is a popular meeting point and also a lookout over the sea. On Nystedtplatz in front of the pier stands a glacial erratic – the "Little Swede" weighs approx. 24 tons and is a reminder of the region's formation during the last ice age.

Attention sea dreamers: The promenade, which runs parallel to the beach, offers an unrestricted view of the clear water with its gently sloping dunes. It is 1.5 kilometers long and open towards the beach. The perfect place to enjoy the fresh, healthy sea air and the vastness of the ocean.

In front of Hof Siems in Riepsdorf, you will encounter the "Generationen‑Allee" made of Corten steel, four steel trees in different sizes. Through their staggering, they play with your perception and show how much perspective and distance can change the impact of a place.
