Schashagen: Coastal Cliffs and Sandy Beaches
Accommodation in Schashagen
Schashagen combines green forests and wide-open fields with steep coastal cliffs and flat sandy beaches along Lübeck Bay. The landscape offers different ways to shape your stay: you can plan your time by the sea, focus on outdoor activities, or discover culture in the wider destination of Ostholstein.
Bliesdorf: Beach and Activities
Bliesdorf is located in the municipality of Schashagen and has a five-kilometre-long natural beach. Coastal cliffs shelter it, and the seabed slopes gently into the water. The beach is well suited to family recreation and walks by the sea; no visitor tax is charged. Bliesdorf offers a specific way to combine time at the beach with activity by the water.
There are also year-round opportunities for cycling, hiking, horse riding, sailing, surfing and golf in the area around Schashagen. Golfers can play at the named 18-hole Brodauer Mühle course. These activities offer different options: some take you through the landscape on foot or by bike, while others revolve around water sports or a round on the golf course.
Culture and Nature in the Wider Destination of Ostholstein
In the wider destination of Ostholstein, cultural venues offer a range of seasonal and thematic highlights. Every summer in Eutin, the Eutin Festival presents different opera or operetta performances as open-air events. Also in Eutin, the Ostholstein Museum hosts changing exhibitions as well as a permanent exhibition about the city’s heyday around 1800. At Cismar Monastery in the municipality of Grömitz, there are changing exhibitions and, during the winter half of the year, concerts in the vaulted hall. The schedule thus ranges from summer open-air performances to winter concerts; the museum also maintains a permanent focus on Eutin’s history around 1800.
Archaeological and nature-related attractions are also part of the wider destination of Ostholstein. The Oldenburg Wall in Oldenburg in Holstein is one of Schleswig-Holstein’s most significant archaeological monuments. Using excavation finds and reconstructions, the Oldenburg Wall Museum presents the archaeologically and historically reconstructable history of the Oldenburg ring fort and the Slavs in Ostholstein. In Heiligenhafen, the Natureum Steinwarder Nature Experience Park gives children and adults the chance to experience nature with all their senses. The Meereszentrum Fehmarn offers another glimpse of the marine world: it displays more than 1,000 marine animals in more than 40 display aquariums containing a total of 700,000 litres of seawater. These examples appeal to interests beyond the beach and outdoor activities, leading to exhibitions, archaeology and nature experiences across the wider destination. In the wider destination of Ostholstein, the Eutin Lake Circular Trail runs partly right along the shore of the Great Eutin Lake and partly along natural woodland paths, offering views of Eutin, Eutin Castle and its gardens.
