Small spot with a bench. Ideal for a break.

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.

Since 1976, Schönberg Beach has had a heritage railway. During the summer months, you can ride the historic trains on the line between Schönberg Baltic Sea Resort station and Schönberg Beach. Until the mid-20th century, this was still possible regularly with the so-called "Hein Schönberg." At that time, the line extended all the way to Kiel, crossing the Probstei region. Passenger service was largely discontinued in 1975. Since then, buses operated by the Plön District Transport Authority (VKP) have served as a replacement for the connection to Kiel. Lines 200, 201, and 210 serve Schönberg and Schönberg Beach.

Spring is the time for predatory fishermen. Pike hunt in the reedbeds and shore areas, along the steep edges. They are best caught in shallow waters with spinners or spoons, and at somewhat deeper depths with wobblers or dead bait. Perch swim in sometimes large schools, usually along the rocky ledges and perch mounds, and can be caught with both artificial bait and bait. Zander are most active during this time of year, hunting in the early evening hours both in the shallow, rocky shore areas and at greater depths. In summer, the predators become increasingly sluggish and move almost exclusively to deeper areas. This is the time for coarse fish, carp, and eel anglers. Roach, rudd, bream, and silver bream, and occasionally tench, can be caught off the reed edges with floats and worms or maggots. The bream sometimes reach a considerable size here. Carp now mainly frequent the shallow bays. Catching them, however, isn't easy. The most effective method here is certainly fishing with a float and natural bait. Some success has also been achieved with corn. The best time for eel is probably late summer. Using worms or bait, it's important to find the right depth and the right night.
