Püttsee: Natural Beach, Water Sports and Running Route

Püttsee can be explored through three distinct highlights: its natural beach, water sports and a clearly defined jogging route. This mix is useful when planning a trip: you can first decide whether you would rather spend your days by the water, on a running route or exploring nature and landscapes. If you are looking for accommodation, you can use these interests as a starting point when choosing your destination.

Nature and protected area

Parts of the Püttsee cadastral district on Fehmarn lie within a nature reserve covering around 395 hectares. This figure refers to the protected area as a whole; only part of the cadastral district is included. The nature reserve adds a geographical perspective to the specific information about the beach and running route. If nature and landscapes are important to your travel decision, this is another aspect of Püttsee to consider.

Natural beach and water sports

At Püttsee’s natural beach, you can park right by the beach and head out onto the water with a surfboard. A municipal surfing guide dated April 19, 2007, lists Püttsee as a suitable surf spot for surfers and kitesurfers. Check the local rules before taking part.

A route through several villages

The Petersdorf-Orth-Püttsee running route is a 12.0 km out-and-back route for jogging. From Petersdorf, it runs via Kopendorf and Sulsdorf to Orth, then back via Püttsee. The 12.0 km covers the entire route. Along the way, it follows the dike, with views of Flügger Lighthouse, and passes between fields and meadows. This combines a clearly stated total distance with a route that takes in several named places and different stretches of landscape. The route is accessible by car or bicycle. Check the route details before your trip, as surface and access conditions may change.

Which highlights suit your trip?

This gives you two different questions to consider when choosing what to do each day: the running route has a clearly described total distance and course, while for surfing and kitesurfing you should check the local rules before taking part. If you would rather focus on a clearly defined route, you can use the 12.0 kilometers as a planning guide. If you prefer being on the water, you can take the natural beach and the opportunity to use a surfboard into account. These are different criteria for planning a trip: a stated distance and route on the one hand, and the beach and a check of local rules on the other.

If you are planning a trip with other travelers, discuss your priorities in concrete terms: Does the running route appeal to you, is water sports your top priority, or are nature and landscape conservation more important? This question makes different interests easier to compare without trying to squeeze them into a single day’s itinerary. That way, you can consider together which aspect matters most to your group and whether Püttsee suits what you all have in mind.
