Rettin on the Baltic Coast: Promenade, Cliff and Cycle Path

Rettin on the Baltic Coast combines a varied coastal landscape with paths for walks and bike rides, as well as small excursion destinations. Between the beach, meadows and wooded cliff, you can plan your stay in many different ways: with extended stretches along the coast, a bike ride to Neustadt in Holstein or a relaxed visit to the mini-golf course. This combination makes Rettin a place where active days and quiet discoveries can be easily combined.

Coastal landscape between beach, meadows and cliff

The “Coastal Landscape between Pelzerhaken and Rettin” FFH area covers 100.00 hectares and includes a beach landscape with several characteristic features. These include a former cliff that is now wooded, a former lagoon depression currently used as grassland, a coastal dune and beach-ridge system, and a beach in front of it. Anyone who wants to get to know the landscape not just as a backdrop but in its various forms will find striking contrasts here between wooded areas, open meadows and the coast.

There are also specific starting points for a walk within Rettin itself. A promenade leads past the Rettin meadows and a wooded cliff. This allows you to include the coastal landscape in your daily plans without limiting your stay to a single experience. For families with different interests, it can be appealing to combine a longer walk with another activity on the same holiday day.

Promenade and paths for walks

A more than eight-kilometre promenade along the Baltic Coast connects Neustadt in Holstein with the Baltic resorts of Pelzerhaken and Rettin. This provides a clear framework for planning days by the coast. In the area of the coastal landscape between Pelzerhaken and Rettin, the visitor map also shows a hiking trail and a cycle path near Rettin.

If walks and coastal experiences are your main considerations when choosing accommodation, these paths can provide helpful guidance for planning your trip. You can decide whether to choose individual sections or combine different landscape impressions. The promenade, the Rettin meadows and the wooded cliff each offer their own particular focus.

Cycling, mini-golf and a small pier

For bike excursions, there is a section of the Baltic Coast Cycle Route from Rettin to Neustadt in Holstein. Cyclists can include this section as a specific part of their holiday plans. Those looking for a shorter activity to enjoy together will find the Coastman's Fun & Adventure Golf course in Rettin, which offers mini-golf. Especially when travelling with children, mini-golf can be an easy way to add another activity to the day without having to define the main focus of the stay.

Another special feature is the small pier in Rettin. Its wooden planks serve as a resting place for cormorants. This detail makes the pier a memorable destination for anyone who wants to notice not only the broad landscape features but also individual observations along the way during a coastal walk.

The right holiday apartment for your travel plans

When looking for a holiday apartment in Rettin, it is worth first deciding on the focus you want for your holiday. If you want to explore the coastal landscape, promenade and meadows, walks will be at the centre of your plans. For a more active stay, the section of the Baltic Coast Cycle Route to Neustadt in Holstein may be the deciding factor. Mini-golf and the pier add shorter, independent activities to the selection.

Rettin is a suitable destination for anyone looking to combine a holiday apartment on the Baltic Coast with landscapes, paths and a variety of excursion ideas.

Include other coastal resorts
