At Am Salzhaff, you can plan your stay around specific highlights: water sports in Pepelow, cycling along the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, and cultural and historic sites in Pepelow and Rakow. Combining these themes appeals to travelers who want to pair activities on the water with exercise and rural architectural history. Each of these interests has a specific point of reference at the destination.
Water sports in Pepelow
At the Pepelow surf spot, the very shallow Salzhaff offers an especially large area where you can stand. Several water sports are available: the surf school at the spot offers windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, wakeboarding and water skiing. The kiteboarding and windsurfing schools at the campsite offer courses for beginners and advanced participants. These course levels are specified for windsurfing and kitesurfing; when planning, you can therefore distinguish your preferred activity from the course levels on offer. In Pepelow, winds from the southwest to the north are considered especially favorable. Wind direction adds a specific factor to your choice of sport when planning your day. The information answers different planning questions: the standing area describes the water conditions, the wind range indicates a favorable direction, and the course levels classify windsurfing and kitesurfing for beginners and advanced participants.
Cycling and practical information
The Ostseecamping “Am Salzhaff” camping and motorhome park is located right by the Salzhaff. Toilets, showers and disposal facilities are available at the campsite; these practical amenities are provided by the campsite. The Baltic Sea Cycle Route runs alongside the campsite, making it easy for active visitors to reach the Hanseatic city of Wismar or the holiday island of Poel by bike. The campsite therefore connects two aspects of your stay as a point of reference: the Salzhaff right next to it and the cycle route to the two destinations mentioned. Check the latest information on facilities and courses directly before making plans, as facilities may depend on the operator and course details may change.
Architectural history and crafts
Specific sites related to architectural history can also be found in Pepelow and Rakow. The list of historic monuments dated May 14, 2024, includes a hall house at StrandstraĂźe 20 in Pepelow, formerly a BĂĽdnerei (smallholding); in Rakow, the manor house at ParkstraĂźe 9 is listed as a historic monument. The two entries highlight different aspects: in Pepelow, its former use as a BĂĽdnerei is specified, while the site in Rakow is described as a manor house. If you would like to include historic village and architectural styles in your stay, you can distinguish between these two clearly identified historic sites.
The “Lierlütt” pottery in Teßmannsdorf, in the Am Salzhaff municipality, adds a craft dimension to the local cultural theme. It has been in business since 2018. Unlike the buildings listed as historic monuments, the focus here is on a more recent workshop. Together, these sites offer a range of experiences, from architectural history to a more recent connection with traditional crafts. This adds a distinct cultural dimension to your travel plans alongside water sports and cycling.
