Concrete Cycle Path Along the Baltic Sea

Highlight • Cycleway

Along the coast and not so far away from the shot, this wonderful paved path is advertised as a cycle path. I would only recommend this because it is difficult to drive in the sand.

Timmendorf-Poel Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Timmendorf-Poel Lighthouse is a lighthouse on the Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is located at the southwestern end of the island of Poel, near the town of Timmendorf, at the small harbor in the Timmendorf Strand district. It marks the entrance to the Bay of Wismar and is one of two major lighthouses on the island.

History

To better indicate the entrance to the Bay of Wismar, a round white tower tapering at the top with a hexagonal lantern house was built in the middle of the one-story pilot house. The Timmendorf Lighthouse was put into operation on October 1, 1872, and in 1931, it was raised by 3.6 meters to its current height of 21 meters. This section remained unpainted, unlike the white-painted lower section. The tower has been remotely controlled since 1978. From 1996 to 1997, the listed brick tower had to be stabilized and partially rebuilt. During the work, the entire lighthouse technology was replaced. It displays the common-mode light (iso/glt. 6 seconds) and has a range of approximately 16 nautical miles at sigma 0.741.

Since 2020, the Baltic Sea Waterways and Shipping Authority has been responsible for the lighthouse's maintenance and upkeep.

Baltic Sea Resort Island of Poel

Highlight • Beach

The island of Poel is located around 10 km north of Wismar in the Wismar Bay in the Baltic Sea. From the south, a bay cuts deep into the island, at the northern end of which lies the island's largest village, Kirchdorf. Almost half of the approximately 2,500 inhabitants of Poel live there.

View of the Bridge to Poel and Surrounding Nature

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite strange landscape, you just have to see it. In the distance, the industrial plants of Wismar, on site free-standing horses, behind them 20 white swans, lots of sea birds, great lighting conditions.

The route is really great (albeit really challenging), just really worth it - like the previous years - it was no longer worth it.
The mill no longer has any windmills, on Poel the crowds are like at the fair, the beach that I once praised so highly (Timmendorf at the lighthouse) has been converted, only with a beach chair …

Nice tour to Rerik over the Salzhaff. If it weren't for the west wind.
