Beautiful and highly recommended.
Be careful along the way , as the weather can cause the rock faces to constantly change and break off .

Schönhagen Cliffs and Beach

Highlight • Beach

The water surrounds the land like a blue ribbon. That is the Baltic peninsula Schwansen, which protrudes into the Baltic Sea between Kiel and Flensburg. On the side facing the sea is the Baltic Sea resort of Schönhagen, the picturesque, family-friendly holiday resort with a dreamily white Baltic Sea beach.

Weidefelder Beach

Highlight • Beach

A beautiful sandy beach that is ideal for a short detour to / into the water! With beach chairs and a beach snack, you can expect a real holiday feeling - which you won't enjoy alone in good weather.

August 20, 2023,Steilküste Schönhagen – Schoenhagen Runde von Schönhagen
Been on the road again 😂, today we went to Schönhagen on the Baltic Sea 😊. The starting point was the former naval base in Olpenitz, which was created there for vacationers, just beautiful 👍. I liked the houseboats best 👍😊, just awesome. The beaches there were not quite my taste, I need sand😂. I would recommend the tour😊👍.

Wonderful route with nice places to stop for refreshments in Schönhagen and at Weidefelder Strand. Very quiet, great beach and the highlight at the end is the cliffs and the Schwansener See nature reserve. 😃☀️⛱️🏄‍♀️🌺🪻🥾🐦👍

Our first hike of our holiday on the Schlei started at the Weidefeld beach car park. At this time it's even free. We have experienced this differently in other places. So let’s be positive 👍.

Today we wanted to explore a route north of Schönhagen and we got to see so much more. We started at the Baltic Sea beach, where we walked to Olpenitz. There we were able to marvel at how a former military port is being transformed into a modern tourist center. Lots of new houses and apartments. All of them were …
