Schönhagen Cliffs

Highlight (Segment) • Canyon

The cliffs are changed in appearance every year by the sometimes severe storms on the Baltic Sea coast. Sometimes even the unpaved hiking or cycling paths disappear due to the strong sea.

Rain was actually reported today. It's currently doing the same.... We got a sunny time window for our walk on the beach, we didn't expect that at all. We even saw porpoises frolicking along the coast, but unfortunately I couldn't take a picture of them.

Since the weather was quite mild for mid-October, today's tour took us to the beach in Weidefeld.
After a quick swim, we continued along the cliffs towards Schönhagen and then back along the water to Weidefeld.

A leisurely stroll to the cliffs of Schönhagen 💙

It's cold today, but almost windless, so it's quite pleasant outside. On the way back, we stopped at the "Seestern" for coffee and cake 🍰☕😋

Sun was announced this morning. We used the time for a short walk on the beach. It was a good thing, the promised rain came this afternoon. It is remarkable that apparently a piece of the cliff fell victim to the storms.
