STEILKÜSTE HÖHE STOHL IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DISGUSTING!!! (The fenced-in area). You have to hold onto barbed wire now. So it's better to go without children, animals, fat e-bikes and so on. No idea why the farmer can't give up a meter.

A historic church once stood here... it was demolished in 1737... today you can learn many details about it on the information panels... here is a seating area with a magnificent view over the fjord.

From the headland by the lighthouse, you have a magnificent view into the Kiel Fjord... there's always something going on on the water: huge cruise ships, small sailboats and water sports enthusiasts.
