Loddin-Kölpinsee stretches from the Baltic Sea to the Achterwasser, bringing together beaches, lakeside scenery, forests and inland waters in one destination. When choosing your accommodation, it is worth deciding first what you want to focus on: coastal paths and fine sand, walks around Lake Kölpinsee or a trip to Loddiner Höft. The village’s history and activities on the water also add to the natural attractions.

Between the Baltic Sea, Lake Kölpinsee and Achterwasser

Lake Kölpinsee lies just below sea level and is separated from the Baltic Sea by a foredune and a protective dyke. Its reed belt provides a habitat for waterbirds. Centuries-old beech forests extend to the steep coast, north of Kölpinsee and south of Stubbenfelde. Here, lakeside scenery, coastal forest and the Baltic landscape come together; Loddin is more than just a place to visit the beach.

Beach visits and walks with different destinations

The beach at the seaside resort of Loddin-Kölpinsee is bright and covered in fine sand. At Teufelsberg in Stubbenfelde, steps lead down from the cliff viewpoint to the Baltic Sea beach. There is a circular trail around Lake Kölpinsee; while walking by the lake, you may also spot wild orchids. Another walking option leads to Loddiner Höft, at the tip of a peninsula in the Achterwasser. From the viewpoint, you can look out over the Achterwasser. The circular trail around the lake and the path to Höft offer different experiences: a lakeside loop on the one hand, and a walk to a specific viewpoint on the other.

Fishing village and accommodation planning

Loddin is a historic fishing village with preserved thatched-roof houses. The Heimatstube Kölpinsee, a small local history museum, is located in Loddin’s railway station building and adds a cultural point of interest to the coastal and scenic surroundings. Stubbenfelde has a campsite near the forest and Lake Kölpinsee. Its operation may vary depending on the season. If you are considering the campsite as part of your accommodation plans, check its seasonal operating schedule in advance.

Activities on the water and in the area

Kiki’s boat rental rents out pedal boats and rowboats for trips on the Achterwasser. Availability and seasonal operations may vary; check current options if you are planning to include a boat trip. The Waterblick restaurant serves fresh fish with views of the Achterwasser and the sunset. As opening hours and menus may change, it is advisable to check both before visiting. Tours are also offered from Loddin and Kölpinsee; availability may depend on the season.

More places to visit during your stay

Accessible quiet areas are available in Loddin-Kölpinsee. Loddin also has a multi-generational playground with innovative play equipment. These dedicated places to rest and play complement the walks, coastal scenery and activities on the water. Which of these aspects you prioritize depends on whether you want to focus your stay on paths by the lake and coast, a trip on the Achterwasser or a look at the fishing village.
