The beach landscape near Schmoel is a nature reserve in the Schleswig-Holstein communities of Schwartbuck and Stakendorf in the Plön district. The name is derived from the nearby Gut Schmoel.

The much larger rear garden area by the lake looks beautifully well-kept from a distance, but unfortunately entering the private property is prohibited here.

The pier is a varied contrast to the beautiful beach, plus a successful construction, with an appropriate name. There are smaller dining options in front of the bridge. From the bridge you can watch the beach well, and the bridge with its interesting construction offers many beautiful opportunities for good photo opportunities and the opportunity to feel the wind of the sea.

These small lakes in the NSG Schmoel are located directly on the natural beach cycle path. A narrow cycle path leads along the lakes to the coastal section.

The land protection dike was removed here to compensate for the reinforcement of the dike and so came under the influence of the Baltic Sea again. In the NSG there are several shallow beach lakes, moist depressions and sedge reeds as well as brackish water reeds and dry grass areas. To the Baltic Sea, the beach wall and beach as well as a 50 meter wide shallow water area of the Baltic Sea are included in the nature reserve. Large areas between the beach lakes, which were partially used as fields before the protection was placed, are again occupied by trees and bushes. Parts of the reserve are grazed extensively with Angus cattle. A nice change from the otherwise dyke-ness. There is a bench near the highlight, from which you have a beautiful view over the beach lake.
