A great section of the Baltic Sea Cycle Route. Equally easy to ride in both directions. Combined cycle and footpath where mutual consideration is essential. If you feel like it, you can go to Laboe and then down to Kiel. Or you can go around the Kiel Fjord (day trip) and take the public transport ferry back to Laboe in Friedrichsdorf. Along the way, numerous restaurants with their delicacies invite you to take a break. The view of the beach, sea and ships is on top 👍

The beach and dyke section between Stein and Marina Wentdorf is fantastically beautiful 💙... But unfortunately the magical atmosphere is spoiled by a construction site right next to the kiosk in Marina Wentdorf. The kiosk is closed there and can be found behind the dyke following a sign 😉...

Even in November you can enjoy the view of Passader See and relax on the benches by the lake.

This beautiful dog beach is located at the foot of the cliffs. To get to it you have to go down a flight of steps until you reach this beautiful white sandy beach. Just a few meters away is the Baltic Sea, where dogs can run around and swim at will. You can also have a good view of the huge sandbank, which is only a few meters from the coast. During our visit we observed that the water here is probably only a little over ankle deep. The beach is also ideal for just lying relaxed in the sun. From here you can also watch the kite surfers rushing past.

A beautiful, diverse and long beach. If you're lucky, you'll find a nice, quiet and clean corner in the dunes for an afternoon nap
