The coastline may also spark questions about geology.

A Closer Look at Geology

The audio guide “Geology – Fehmarn Audio Guide” explores Fehmarn’s geological formation in Fehmarn OT Presen through stones and coastal soil layers. This shifts the focus from the landscape to the materials and layers relevant to the subject. They provide tangible reference points for understanding the island’s geological formation, rather than leaving it as an abstract concept. If you enjoy learning how geology has shaped a landscape, this offers a distinct way to explore Fehmarn. The “Geological Identification Course – Presen” was scheduled for 3 September 2026, from 11:00 to 12:00, in Fehmarn OT Presen. This date has already passed.

On Fehmarn, the audio guide also encourages visitors to search the beach for chicken gods, clatter stones, amber, fossil traces, belemnites and Baltic Sea jade. These items turn the geological theme into a practical search idea, drawing attention to particular shapes and traces. When planning a holiday with children, these names can be a conversation starter: for example, what distinguishes amber, fossil traces and clatter stones?

Fishing and Practical Information

Presen is one of Fehmarn’s popular fishing spots. For holidaymakers who want to fish, this offers a distinct focus alongside the geological audio guide and the peaceful landscape. You can consider whether you would rather combine your trip with coastal observation, geological questions or fishing. Check the applicable fishing regulations separately before planning a fishing trip.

Choose the Right Focus for Your Trip

The audio guide takes you from the island’s formation in general to stones, coastal soil layers and a search for named finds. The landscape, by contrast, offers coastal formations and sweeping views of the Baltic Sea, while fishing provides another distinct focus. This allows you to choose a destination based on what you would like to see or do on Fehmarn.
