Cliffside Path in Schlei Nature Park

Highlight • Trail

The entire path along the cliffs is very beautiful - of course, you could create a highlight every 10 meters and call it a "beautiful path," but what's the point?

Schönhagen Cliffs

Highlight (Segment) • Canyon

The cliffs are changed in appearance every year by the sometimes severe storms on the Baltic Sea coast. Sometimes even the unpaved hiking or cycling paths disappear due to the strong sea.

On the first day of my rehab I went on an exploration tour of the Schönhagen cliffs. Very impressive, and a beautiful nature reserve all around. 🥾

At the level of the Baltic Sea along the steep coast, about 2 kilometers, it was exhausting but great.

January 17, 2023,Schönhagen: Steilküste & Schloss

Short round from the Schönhagen hiking car park at the entrance to the town via Schwansener See, the ingenious cliffs and back via the former castle (today Vamed rehabilitation clinic). Currently partly relatively muddy on the cliffs but everything is possible.

February 20, 2024,Schöne Aussicht – Abbruchkante der Steilküste Runde von Schönhagen

Due to the storm surge in October, some of the paths on the cliffs were completely broken away, so we could only continue across fields. The sea has taken over a lot of land.

The Schönhagen cliffs tell a story of constant change through wind and waves. The Baltic Sea re-forms the landscape year after year, while landslides and collapses illustrate the forces of nature. A narrow trail along the …
