Kraksdorf offers several options for a stay on the Baltic Sea: the beach, the Baltic Sea Cycle Route through the village, and paths by the water. When looking for accommodation, it helps to start by deciding whether you want to focus on beach days, a bike ride or walks.

Beach and Access

Kraksdorf is one of four beach locations in the municipality of Neukirchen. Across the municipality, the coastal area has a total of six kilometres of natural beach, which is free of visitor tax, gently sloping and lifeguarded. Kraksdorf Beach itself slopes gently and is suitable for children to play and splash in the water. For families looking for a suitable place to do so, this local beach feature provides a specific point of reference.

A paved, gently sloping path leads from the car park to the beach. Public toilets are located right next to the beach bistro.

The beach steps at Costa Sahna are intended as access from the cliff to the beach and are located directly on the Baltic Sea Cycle Route. They are planned as a stop for cyclists and hikers to swim or access the beach. The steps have suffered storm damage; plans for the steps are in progress. Check whether they are currently usable before your visit.

For access planning, the two routes should be distinguished: the paved path starts at the car park; the steps are intended for access from the cliff and should be checked in advance given their current planning status.

Cycling and Walking Routes

After Michaelsdorf, the Baltic Sea Cycle Route passes through Kraksdorf and then continues via Siggenmühle towards Süssau. A detour on the “From OstseeFerienLand to Ostseespitze” cycling tour leads to Kraksdorf Beach. These details help with different route choices: the coastal cycle route passes through the village, while the detour takes you to the beach.

In the wider surrounding region, the Baltic Sea Cycle Route runs mostly on cycle paths alongside roads or on separate cycle paths, as well as on quiet side roads; the paths are mostly paved. If you are planning a route beyond Kraksdorf, these types of paths and the mostly paved surface may be relevant when choosing your route.

A path along the water leads from the access point to Kraksdorf Beach towards Ostermade. The beach bridge in Ostermade is about three kilometres away in the surrounding area; you can reach it either along the beach or via a path running directly beside the water. This gives you a specific destination for your walk, with two possible routes to choose from. The distance is approximate.

Nature Conservation at the Beach

Measures to protect the endangered Kentish plover are in place at Kraksdorf Beach. This conservation aspect adds a specific topic to beach and route planning for travellers interested in coastal wildlife.
