The ever-popular straw figures stand at the large village pond during the Probsteier Korntage. This year it is Alf. Before that it was, among other things, Werner, a Viking ship,... There is also the Angus Hof Stoltenberg/Frick near the village pond with its own farm shop. It's not far to Stakendorf Beach, where you can eat delicious food at the various fish stalls with a view of the Baltic Sea.
