The beach is only 900m away and can be easily reached on foot, by bike or by car. There you can rent beach chairs and pedal boats. Of course also toilets and shops, an ice-cream shop, a baker, an organic shop, clothing shops and restaurants.
Who is „good on foot", can also go over the field behind the house to the sea (approx. 5 min. )
A natural beach is 3 km away in Sierksdorf or 15 km away in Niendorf on the steep coast towards Travemünde.
In Scharbeutz (3 km) you will find Aldi, Penny, Rewe (supermarket), Kik, Takko, Rossmann and several tanning studios.
In Neustadt there is a department store, various shoe shops, a Danish dormitory, restaurants, . . . (my favourite Italian) and the weekly market.
Organic shops are located in Haffkrug (5 minutes by car) or in Neustadt and Eutin (both 15 minutes by car).
The Hansa-Park can be reached by car in about 5 minutes (~4,1km) and is located in the immediate vicinity. It offers a great experience for young and old. You can also take the train from Haffkrug to Sierksdorf (just one stop further) and from there walk (~10 minutes) to Hansa-Park.
The marzipan town of Lübeck with its historic city centre is only 28 km away and can be easily reached by car (25 minutes) or by train (Haffkrug has its own small train station).
Also Eutin with his castle (guided tour in real castle slippers) is worth a visit. A comfortable boat trip on the Eutiner lake is a pleasant event.
You can get freshly caught fish in Niendorf harbour. There are also delicious fish dishes served directly at the harbour.
