Waabs: Baltic Sea Coast Between Beach and Cliffs

Waabs showcases the Baltic Sea coast in several different ways: At the beach, sand, dunes and shallow water take centre stage; the hilly landscape and cliffs offer a different perspective. There are also opportunities for cycling, water sports and walking excursions. When planning your holiday, you can choose between days at the beach, cycling and nature experiences rather than making every day the same.

Beach and Coastal Landscape

The freely accessible beach at Langholz offers a sandy Baltic Sea shore, dunes and shallow water. Swimming and sunbathing are among the possible activities; there are opportunities for nature walks nearby. This lets you complement a day by the water with time spent walking. Beach conditions may vary seasonally.

Waabs’ landscape also includes cliffs around twelve metres high near Langholz and Booknis. The area is hilly and shaped by the Ice Age. The sandy beach and cliffs offer different impressions of the same coastal landscape: here, dunes and shallow water define the beach experience; there, the coast’s striking heights take centre stage.

By Bike, on the Water or on Horseback

The Baltic Sea Cycle Route runs through Waabs in the direction of Lübeck. If you plan to use the route, check its current course before setting out, as it may be temporarily diverted. Cycling is another way to enjoy an active stay on the Baltic Sea.

Waabs’ Baltic Sea coast also offers opportunities for water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Whether an activity is suitable on a particular day depends on the weather, wind and local safety regulations. For those interested in riding, Waabs has bridleways and stables; the availability of individual businesses and activities may change.

Regional Products and a Broader View

Gut Ludwigsburg has a farm shop where you can buy regional products directly from the producer. The selection may vary depending on the season or operator.

The wider destination of Rendsburg-Eckernförde opens up a broader landscape: The district has 55 kilometres of Baltic Sea coastline and a signposted cycling network 1,000 kilometres long. The district is home to four nature parks. A substantial part of them consists of nature and landscape conservation areas, providing habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna.

Another landscape highlight in the wider destination of Rendsburg-Eckernförde is the 98-metre-high Aschberg. In fine weather, the panoramic view from there reaches as far as the Kiel Canal, Eckernförde Bay and Kiel. Alongside its coastal and cycling attractions, the region offers a range of nature experiences that you can choose according to the focus of your trip.

Choose the Right Search Location

The Baltic Sea Cycle Route, which runs through the town, and the other opportunities related to riding and water sports complement this coastal focus.
