A three-kilometer natural beach on the open Baltic Sea defines Kronsgaard.
Beach and Seasons
In summer, the beach invites you to swim; walks are possible in every season. This creates a clear distinction when choosing when to travel: if swimming is your main priority, consider summer, while walks are not limited to that season. Depending on your plans, the same stretch of coast can be a swimming destination or a place for a walk by the sea. The view extends to the Danish South Sea, adding a panorama across the Baltic Sea to the beach setting.
Getting Around and Facilities
Facilities are spread across several access points and locations:
- Bicycle racks are available at every beach access point.
- Signposted parking is available at Golsmaas, Seeblick, Pottloch, and on Dänische Straße.
- Toilets are located in Pottloch and Drecht.
- A beach wheelchair is available at the DLRG building in Hasselberg.
Pottloch brings together several points of reference: signposted parking and toilets are available there, and the main entrance to the horse beach section is also located there. Facility availability may change. Before you leave, check whether a facility that is important to your plans is available.
Horse Riding on the Horse Beach
Horse riding is permitted on the horse beach between the main entrance at Pottloch and the Golsmaas holiday village. Seasonal rules apply, so check them before your trip. The named section provides a specific location to help with planning, while the season determines which rules you need to take into account.
Beach Interests and Accommodation Search
If you are looking for hotels in Kronsgaard, you can take the beach into account when making your choice. First consider whether swimming in summer or walks in every season will shape your stay. This links the time of year directly to your planned beach activities. The facilities listed above add practical details once you know which location and services matter to you.
The Wider Region: Schleswig-Flensburg
The broader destination of Schleswig-Flensburg offers additional nature and cultural attractions. The Geltinger Birk covers 773 hectares and is the largest nature reserve in the Schleswig-Flensburg district. It has well-maintained trails and guided walks that provide information about the local flora and fauna. Haithabu and the Danewerk have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018; more than 25 kilometers of the Danewerk rampart still remain. The historic memorial site and Idstedt Museum provide information about German-Danish history surrounding the uprising of 1848 and the Battle of Idstedt. Alongside the beach, the wider region therefore offers distinct nature and history attractions. More than 130 bird species can be observed on Holnis, including around 65 breeding species; the peninsula is the northernmost tip of the young moraine landscape in Schleswig-Holstein.
