The name "Smokey Island" sounded more like a cocktail bar to us. But it is a lovely restaurant with a great menu and a selection of coffee and cakes at reasonable prices. Very friendly and attentive staff. The view of the harbour is great! Highly recommended!

The Wieltsee is a quarry lake that was created during the construction of the A1. The lake is a popular place for anglers, and there are also a few boats moored on the shore. A lovely spot for a walk around Dreye.

Here you can take a short break during your walk over the dike. You are surrounded by flat land and can let your gaze wander unhindered into the distance.
