A natural Baltic Sea beach and a nature exhibition define Hohenfelde in different ways: outdoors, open coastal views and physical activity take center stage; in the exhibition, the Ice Age and the inhabitants of the Baltic Sea. This lets you combine time at the beach, walks and nature topics while also looking toward the wider coastal region.
Beach, Coastal Paths and Outdoor Activities
The natural Baltic Sea beach offers open coastal views. Options include walks, sunbathing, cycling along the coast and longer hikes. You can choose according to your preferred focus: sunbathing puts the beach center stage, while walks, coastal cycling and longer hikes emphasize outdoor activity. Activities range from taking a break by the water to covering longer distances.
Nature Exhibition and Guided Excursions
The nature exhibition in Hohenfelde explores the history of the Ice Age and displays erratic boulders from the glacial landscape. It also features inhabitants of the Baltic Sea, including a baby turbot in a touch pool. The visit therefore combines landscape history with insights into the Baltic Sea.
