The port of Kappeln is a great place to linger. You can either watch the ships passing the bridge, admire the herring catch or sit down in a nice café. The town offers shopping opportunities and a lovely pedestrian passage.

September 8, 2023,Auf geht's zum Baden... Natürlich schöne Wellen in Damp🐟👣🥂

Let's go to Damp to swim. Along the Baltic Coast Cycle Path, looked in Olpenitz and then off to the beach. 👣 Weather a dream. And there were beautiful waves...

Only a short ride today because the bottom bracket was making a lot of noise. But it was a very nice finish. I highly recommend Bude 54. The owner is very nice and super friendly. You can try the 1664, but it's more for women.

Today we cycled to Kappeln and along the coast. But we also walked part of the way. You can tell the season is slowly coming to an end. This area is highly recommended.
