Hohenfelde: Natural Beach and Coastal Activities

Hohenfelde is located in the coastal area between Probstei and Hohwachter Bucht. Its natural Baltic Sea beach and sweeping coastal views give the town its distinct coastal character; a nature exhibition and various opportunities to stay active round out a visit. When choosing accommodation for a Baltic Sea holiday, you can first consider whether you want to focus on time at the beach and outdoor activities, or whether you would also like to plan excursions in the Plön district. Lütjenburg, Schönberg, and Kiel are all options for day trips in the region.

Beach and Paths by the Water

Hohenfelde’s natural beach offers space for walks and sunbathing. There are also opportunities to cycle along the coast or go on longer hikes. You can choose how to balance time at the beach and active excursions: spend the day by the water or set aside more time for paths through the coastal landscape.

Discover Nature and Stay Active

The nature exhibition in Hohenfelde connects Ice Age history with traces left by glaciers: it explores the Ice Age and features glacial erratics as well as inhabitants of the Baltic Sea. These include a young turbot in a touch pool. If you prefer to explore nature outdoors, you can join nature tours led by one of the six nature and landscape guides. Afterwards, the terrace at the Nature Experience Center offers views over the Baltic Sea. If you would like to plan a guided tour, check the dates before your visit.

Activities in Hohenfelde include beach Nordic walking, pétanque, yoga, chair-based exercise, dancing, cycling, and stand-up paddleboarding. In the surrounding area, riding stables and marked bridle paths add to the options. Organized activities may vary in availability. You can plan your days around the activities that interest you most, from nature tours to coastal cycling and water sports.
