Near Wulfen, there’s a range of themes to explore, from the cliffs and golf to activities on the water and traces of prehistory. When planning your trip, it’s worth considering the different highlights: on the coast, the focus is on geological history and observing nature; at Fehmarn Golf Park, on the 18-hole course and its views; and at Burger Binnensee, on getting out on a board. This can help you decide what kind of discovery you’d like to shape your stay most.
Cliffs, geological history and sand martins
The cliffs of Wulfener Berg offer impressive insights into the geological history of the past 20,000 years. If you’re interested in how landscapes develop, you’ll find a specific time frame here for looking at the coast. Above the Wulfen cliffs stands the XXL Field Sofa: an oversized, beach-basket-style bench for several people, with a view of the cliffs. Its unusual size combines seating for several people with a coastal view.
The Wulfen cliffs also offer a distinctive opportunity to observe nature. One of the rare sand martin colonies is located there. You can walk there via the campsite or from the car park on Bargmöhl road. Geology and birdwatching offer different perspectives: one way to explore the landscape is through its geological history, the other through the sand martin colony.
Golf and activities on the water
Fehmarn Golf Park has an 18-hole, par-72 course with views of the Baltic Sea or Burger Binnensee. The number of holes gives golfers a clear idea of the size of the course; views of the two bodies of water add a landscape dimension. This makes it easy to distinguish the golf offering from activities where the water itself is the focus.
Because of its shallow depth, Burger Binnensee is considered a beginner-friendly spot. The lake is considered a safe spot for beginners because of its shallow depth; the calm water makes it easier to take your first few metres on a board. If you’re interested in getting started with this activity, you’ll find different conditions here than at a golf course: the focus is on making your first moves on the water.
Fehmarn Dive Centre has its own swimming pool and easily accessible dive sites. It offers diving lessons for beginners and advanced divers; course availability may vary by season. When choosing between water activities, it helps to consider their focus: at Burger Binnensee, it’s about your first few metres on a board, while at the dive centre, it’s about diving and lessons for different experience levels.
Prehistoric traces and choosing a beach
A prehistoric megalithic burial ground dating from around 3600 to 3200 BC was located at Wulfener Berg. It included long barrows up to 130 metres in length. The approximate dates put the burial ground in historical context, while the possible length of the long barrows gives an idea of the scale of this prehistoric site. For those interested in culture, this offers a different way to explore Wulfen from its nature and sport themes: here, the focus is on early burial structures and their long history.
There’s also a specific tip to help you choose a beach: a nudist beach section is located near Wulfener Hals campsite. If you’re specifically looking for this kind of beach, you can take this option into account when planning your trip.
