Tips from the Community
A wide path has been created for cyclists. This relieves traffic by bike a little... It doesn't seem to have been passable for a long time yet

The windmill is privately owned and therefore cannot be visited. Access is unfortunately forbidden.

Port Closure The port's approach buoy was removed by the authorities without replacement, permanently ending sea access. The decision to close came as a surprise to many, especially since the port had previously been classified as an emergency port and the state of Schleswig-Holstein had covered the costs of the necessary dredging. There are currently no plans to reopen or renovate the port. The owner has not yet commented on future uses of the site. For water sports enthusiasts who have previously used the Lippe harbor, the Wendtorf Marina offers an alternative location.

The port of Lippe is located between Hohwacht and Behrensdorf, at the estuary of the Kossau River. It lies between the Great Inland Lake and the Baltic Sea. The fishing island of Lippe is also located in this area and is surrounded by the Kossau River.
