This is fake information! This is not a swimming spot! Just a normal fishing spot. There is a nice swimming spot a little further on in Schwienhusen/Bargen! Best wishes

Nice place for a little break, if you have a towel handy, a little cooling off in the water is also recommended 😁

Please note: The ferry is only operated on a voluntary basis and at weekends. The crossing opens up the highly recommended route along the Eider dyke.
